I am not a body.

* But my body and I get to exist in many ‘stories’ at the moment.

I am free.

* I have the opportunity/FREEDOM to tell the “voices in my head,” you know, those thoughts that want to tell me I am doing it ALL WRONG and I should just get over it and do away with myself or hide away, to just get over themselves and “Shut the F_ck UP!”

* SERIOUSLY!

* God created me as a part of His Son to experience life and the expression of it. I am free because GOD SAYS SO! 😊😉

For I am still as God created me.

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

* I could think of all of the many stories that we, in our egos that think we are god instead of God, have created OR I can CHOOSE to Remember that God Is All-powerful, All-knowing, and Everywhere and ANYTHING that appears to be contrary to His Love is not real, just being a mistake that we conjured up and WILL get over.

²Pain is my own idea.

³It is not a Thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will.

* Now, bear in mind that this is an impossibility so that ANYTHING related to this IS NOT a Truth.

* It does NOT have to be forgiven, it has to be addressed.

* The Forgiveness of the Original Error of belief in the possibility of separation from God, self, and creation (the brotherhood/sisterhood of Christ) is the only Forgiveness that is necessary.

* Don’t clutter your mind up with working through forgiveness on things. Instead, let’s see what is wrong, bring it to the LIGHT of the truthfulness of God’s Existence, and correct the error as best we can. If other’s are involved and they see no need of correction because they are entrenched in their “stories” establish healthy boundaries for yourself and stand in your own witness of the Truthfulness of God’s Existence and the Love that you share One with Another.

⁴His Will is joy, and only joy for His beloved Son.

* To see my brothers and sisters as part of Christ along with me, who is Loved and Guided by the Holy Spirit enables me to be set free from the stories that would keep me trapped in my ego and outside of the JOY that is merely experiencing life.

⁵And that I choose, instead of what I made.

* I want GOD to be real more than I want the multitude of stories that speak of heartbreak and lack to be right.

⁶I am not a body.

⁷I am free.

⁸For I am still as God created me.

(ACIM, W-210.1:1–8)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
