I am not a body.

I am free.

For I am still as God created me.

1. (185) I want the peace of God.

²The peace of God is everything I want.

³The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at home.

* OKAY, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

* It is perfectly possible to get Home NOW. Peace is what you have when you KNOW that God exists by witness of the Holy Spirit. It’s through the Atonement. That is the teaching of the Course and Jesus.

* What you want to acknowledge is what Helen Schucman acknowledged when she accepted the Reality of “God Is” instead of looking forward or backwards in the vision that she had about the cave in Israel.

* Sadly, she did not in this lifetime receive that truth in her consciousness. At least, not with the recorded info we currently have. UNLESS you consider her book of poems as a true suggestion that she did, and that it was a spiritual experience and not simply writing poetically as the Church did. I suspect that it was and KW refused to allow her to express it.

* If you understand that it is the eternal truth and the ultimate truth that you desire you will KNOW that nothing else could be possible.

⁴I am not a body.

⁵I am free.

⁶For I am still as God created me.

(ACIM, W-205.1:1–6)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
