Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

God’s Son is a smooth, undulating outward-spreading Pleasure.  Not water, not wind … not fire, not earth, but All-Directional.  Quiet, Still, yet dynamic, forceful!  Be still, and be God’s Child … Evenly dispersed power surge of Needless Joyful Grace.

LESSON 219

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(199)    I am not a body.  I am free.

I am God’s Son.  Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this.  And then return to earth, without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His Son.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 218 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I cannot condemn if I do not judge.  And why should I judge when I don’t know anything?  Judgment has not given me happiness nor made me feel safe.  Give up judgment and experience freedom.  Skeletons have sightless eyes, but lit from within Vision glows without reproach.  I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.  Form fades as Vision illuminates the Formless Truth within.

LESSON 218

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(198)    Only my condemnation injures me.

My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory.  Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 217 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I am the one who is happy and relieved when I am saved.  Being saved is waking up.  Waking up is being undone.  Undoing naturally leads to Being.  Being smiles kindly on delusions of fear and separation.  Salvation is a salve on the soul, soothing away the sense of individuality, which reveals what seems to be many streams from one dynamic consciousness.

LESSON 217

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(197)    It can be but my gratitude I earn.

Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself?  And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due?

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 216 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

How I see myself is how I see my brother. How I see myself is how I see life. As my belief in the body lessens and my faith in God increases, I am able to “see” the essence of myself and everyone around me, symbolized by Light. In this classroom, with the Holy Spirit as my teacher, more and more my experience is enlightened and my mood is light-hearted. Crucified or resurrected? Crucified or ascended? Crucified or Holy Blended? I choose God’s Teacher, the memory of my Self, the Unity of Innocent Eternal Love.

LESSON 216

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(196)  It can be but myself I crucify.

All that I do I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 215 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

God is closer to me than my very breath.  Jesus is walking by my side.  The Holy Spirit is a palpable love filling me with greatitude and beatitude as I take every breath and every step in the Name of God, which is my Own.  Breathing, walking, being Love.  Breathing, walking, being Love.  Breathing, walking, being Love … <3

LESSON 215

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(195)    Love is the way I walk in gratitude.

The Holy Spirit is my only guide.  He walks with me in love.  And I give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 214 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

What a relief not to be responsible for the future.  One of my favorite lessons.  I place the future in Hands of God.  My only concern is the Eternal Present.  The Present keeps me Safe and Free.  Here. Now.  Here. Now.

LESSON 214

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(194)    I place the future in the Hands of God.

The past is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I freed from both. For what God gives can only be for good. And I accept but what He gives as what belongs to me.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 213 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

God’s lessons are always and only Love. He does not place us in painful situations or deprived circumstances. We do that. But He always offers Love, Peace and Joy in Answer to any thoughts, interpretations and judgments we place on things. This becomes easier as we remember all form is a costume draped over the Formlessness of God.  All guilt is a cloak of darkness thrown over Innocence.  All fear is a make-believe void of emptiness where there is only Fullness. We can dream, but we cannot change Changeless Reality. We are not bodies. We are free. For we are still as God created us. And we can choose to use the dream for the Holy Spirit’s lessons of Love.

LESSON 213

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(193)    All things are lessons God would have me learn.

A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me, in place of thoughts I made that hurt me.  What I learn of Him becomes the way I am set free.  And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my own.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 212 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Forgiveness releases us from illusions.  The willingness to accept God’s function for us leads to a shift in perception of everything we think we see–this is the miracle.  This happens in a split second–a holy instant.  And it will happen over and over again for a while, until the release process (forgiveness lessons) is complete.

Conviction in God’s Truth and Love strengthens as we practice, and devotion to separate identity from ego teachings of guilt, scarcity, fear, lack, sin, judgment, punishment, superiority, revenge, shame, humiliation, grief, loss, loneliness, etc., weakens and fades away.  Our choice: Holy Spirit as Teacher, or ego as teacher.

LESSON 212

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(192)   I have a function God would have me fill.

I seek the function that would set me free from all the vain illusions of the world.  Only the function God has given me can offer freedom.  Only this I seek, and only this will I accept as mine.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 211 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

One of my favorite quotes from the Course is, “Today we will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds that modesty is outraged. It is pride that would deny the Call for God Himself.” *  Our assignment?  “The miracle joins in the Atonement by placing the mind in the service of the Holy Spirit.  This establishes the proper function of the mind and corrects its errors, which are merely lacks of love.” **  In silence and in true humility I seek God’s glory, to behold it in my brothers who are Me-Self.  God takes it from there, and ushers me in The Door.

LESSON 211

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

 (191)   I am the holy Son of God Himself.

In silence and in true humility I seek God’s glory, to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

Lesson 210 – I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Oh, the joy of surrender!  Dropping my pain, my sense of personal responsibility, my groping to do the right thing, to get everything done!  Aaah, releasing every struggle, every burden, every fear.  Releasing every belief I’ve every held, all attachment to a separate self, a small identity, a weary grinding on and on of “what I’m supposed to do.”  Big spontaneous smile!  Spreading waves of happiness through heart!  Lean on God, hold Jesus’ hand, feel the Holy Spirit beneath my sails–that’s what happens when I choose the joy of God instead of my own idea of pain.  That really was a mistake, lol.  Good thing Correction is available non-stop, 24/7.

LESSON 210

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(190)   I choose the joy of God instead of pain.

Pain is my own idea.  It is not a Thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will.  His Will is joy, and only joy for His beloved Son.  And that I choose, instead of what I made.

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.
