I think it’s important to realize that the ego has many purposes for the body
And none of them are true.
That is good to remember. The second thing is, the Holy Spirit
has one function for the body and that is a communication device.
It’s better to start thinking of your body like your cellphone
Really, don’t treat your body any differently than you would a cellphone
You don’t go to your cellphone and ask. Are you warm enough there?
Do you need some covers? I’ll tuck you in.
Are you hungry?
You are, okay, I’ll plug you in right now.
Do you want to be at a 100%? Okay, all night.
And you may get a case for it to protect it. But some of these cases, have you seen
some of these iphone cases? With diamonds, dress it up.
Some people even have different wardrobes for the cellphone.
What do you want to wear today? If you could see that you are doing
the same thing with the body that you are doing with the cellphone.
And you go to extreme efforts to use your mind for all the many
purposes that the ego made up for the body. Oh well, I’ll get to the communication thing,
every once in a while. Call your mother! No,
really. It’s not a happy day if I do that. You know, the Spirit is always prompting
us to let this be used to laugh, to share, to smile, to shine.
Its only use is for a communication device. It’s not hard to remember, one purpose.
Jesus is like, please remember this. Just one, not millions, just one.
Please focus on this because, guess what? As you start to merge with this one function
for the body, you start to feel this unified awareness, when you
give it over so much to the Holy Spirit, pretty soon you will learn to forget the body entirely.
Yes, it will disappear from your awareness. Why? Because nothing in this world
has existence in and on itself. Not a cellphone, not a cup, not a glass, not
a shoe, not an apple, not a tree, not a mountain. Why would we think that this world of many many
parts are real, when God is whole, God is one? Why would oneness create parts?
Why would oneness need time? Why does eternity need time? It doesn’t.
The parts are part of the misperception. So, basically, I was digging through the
Course and I found many references. The sole responsibility of the teacher of God is to
accept the atonement, yes. I saw that one twice. And I saw many passages where it said that the one
use that the Holy Spirit has for the body is for a communication device, and then one day,
I was going through the Course, and I came upon a sentence, and I went: Oh my God!
It’s in here! I couldn’t believe I found it. I found this one reference where Jesus said:
The body has no purpose. And I was like, oh wow!
But you can imagine, if your mind becomes so unified like the quantum field, everything is
energy, everything is perfectly connected. Then in the end, guess what disappears? Your awareness of
things, you won’t be thinking about things and situations, you won’t be thinking in separation,
you won’t be thinking in fragmented mind. You will be thinking in unified, unified mind!
And you are ready for God to take that last step. Because when everything becomes unified,
when you start to see this is all energy, and is all in mind.
Then you are so close to heaven that God will lift you back to pure Spirit,
to pure love, to pure light, to the Kingdom of Heaven.
