I have said that the Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracles. He always tells you that only the mind is real, because only the mind can be shared. The body is separate, and therefore cannot be part of you. To be of one mind is meaningful, but to be one body is meaningless. By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. T-6.V.A.3:1-5
A Course in Miracles (p. 233). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
So many of the ideas in A Course in Miracles seem to be at an advanced level of understanding. These ideas are not easily grasped at a beginning or even intermediate level of spiritual intelligence. Today’s idea, once again, revolves around the consideration of whether a human being is a body with a soul or a soul in a body. Some people would like to say both. This is the answer of the ego which identifies with the body. However, the soul knows better that it cannot be imprisoned totally in any one body.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This inherent worth and dignity resides in our soul not in our body as Jesus demonstrated in his resurrection after his body was killed in the crucifixion.
Today it is suggested that we reflect on our true nature and remember from whence we have come and to which we will return.
