* Nor is anyone else. The sharing of bodies is a grace and gift from God. I am not speaking of sexuality, I mean in the joint witness that God IS and We Are because of that Reality. Is there ANYTHING SWEETER than the Reality that God IS? I can think of none.

I am not a body.

I am free.

* Thank you, thank you, thank you.

For I am still as God created me.

1. (196) It can be but myself I crucify.

* I have no desire to attack anyone.

²All that I do I do unto myself.

* I do not desire to be attacked or manipulated or lied to.

³If I attack, I suffer.

⁴But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.

* THIS is the equivalent of seeing God and knowing that nothing else can be real, despite apparent witness to the opposite.

* When people are “living in their stories” and not in God they are living a fantasy that has no capacity to be shared with another except in pretend ways as we “take on roles” that are NOT our truth.

⁵I am not a body.

⁶I am free.

⁷For I am still as God created me.

* God, greeting God in the world of form is a beautiful thing and something that will become the norm as we exit the “Matrix.” Both singularly and as a whole.

(ACIM, W-216.1:1–7)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
