THE GIFTS OF GOD — Sondra Ray and Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles

For our awareness of our Whole connection to Everything, we have to join with our brothers wholeheartedly. We have to accept our brothers a part of us. To the degree we let them in, we see who we are as God Created us. Our Glory is shared, in other words, in order to experience it. It is quite simple. Each part of the Sonship we remember we add to the Sonship. We awaken through accepting our brothers as one with us. AMEN.

UNHEALED HEALERS do not see that all sickness is self-inflicted, and that the cause for this self-attack is not real. This is a Lesson for us to see that "problems" are only appearances of conflict and imbalances, but the corrections and solutions are rooted in "changing our minds." The person who is certain can see that thought determines all effects. And if there are effects he does not want, there are thoughts he has to change in order to dissolve the "problem." This is our responsibility to see that the thoughts that "made up" the problems are only thoughts, and thoughts can be changed. And we can see the illusion of these thoughts is not really there. We need the Holy Spirit to help us in this awareness. And it is the Holy Spirit that helps us heal ourselves and facilitate healing in others. This is the LIGHT that heals.

To forgive is to "overlook." Can we overlook our errors, and those of others? When we make the "error" real, and then "forgive" it, we are using the "ego's plan" for forgiveness. This does not absolve us of guilt, but intensifies it. We do not know what forgiveness truly is, but we have a Guide to help us, Who does know. Can we allow the Holy Spirit to accomplish forgiveness for us, and give up our judgments in all matters. The Holy Spirit has a "judgment" that restores our innocence and corrects all of our errors. Are we willing to let go of all other plans but this one? To have the Holy Spirit's plan, we first have to let go of our own plans. In this "dropping it," The Holy Spirit can give us the Atonement. We need only accept it.

How do we correct our errors? This is the subject of this Podcast. We are apt to correct "others" without looking for the source of the error in ourselves. Self-correction is always the right approach, no matter what the error is we are witnessing. We have to be careful not to "blame" our brother for his "errors" without seeing the common pitfall that we all fall into when coming from the "errors of our ego." We first need to see that the ego is not real, and the correction of error is to not treat the ego's errors as real. Errors are in the ego, and correction of errors lies in relinquishment of the ego. Silent adjustment is to overlook the error. Are we able to do this and allow to Holy Spirit to make the corrections?

Finding our True Self is the purpose of the Holy Spirit's curriculum. The nature of the ego is fear, and we know that all too well. We are not so aware of our Reality, which is aligned with the Will of God. But our true Will is the same as the Will of God. God's Will for us is Perfect Happiness and Absolute Love. The Will is full awareness of our True Self. Fear abides in the things that we "know." The self we made up is full of fear, and we choose it over our the Self God created. It is insane to cling to the false self that is rooted in fear. But this is what we do. We can accept our Reality is Love, Truth, Joy, Perfect Happiness, etc. All else is a bad dream we made up.

Healing is a change of our perception. The deep memories that manifest as replaying problems may tempt us to think the Holy Spirit is not helping us. The Ego will fool us into thinking the Holy Spirit does not help us to heal. Perception alone can be "sick" or "wrong." What are the thoughts that we need to heal? Wrong perception is the illusion of sickness. Reality is not sick. But our thinking is, and projects its sickness onto the body. The healing is a corrected perception. Sleeping in the illusions of the Ego is not the real rest we need. We Rest in Awakening into the Joy of our True Self. Health is a result of this awakening. Resting is God is to be AWAKE in the truth of the Holy Spirit's Love.

What is the purpose of our Body? We are not our bodies, and our bodies are neutral. Our body is just a tool to use to express something. Are we expressing attack and anger with our bodies? This is not their function. Are we communicating Love and Unity with our bodies? The Body is simply a means not an end. It is a "communication device" to share that I am Love and you are Love and our Minds are joined. Our interests are the same. PEACE and JOY are the end, and the Body can be used as a tool to communicate this.

The Body is a means of communication, not an end in itself. Too often we identify our "self" with our "body.” This is a mistake that can engender fear, and promote attack, which results in guilt. This is the "slippery slope” of the ego's descent into hell. The hell is not really there, but we make it up, thinking that the actions of the body are real and lasting. When we use the body to communicate JOY, beyond itself, then we are using the body to communicate LOVE. All other uses are errors we make to keep ourselves in a state of suffering. We can end this suffering when we decide to use the body only for Joyful purposes. And we share this Joy with other minds.

GOD'S TREASURE IS YOU! You are the Divine Gift God has given to you. The SON of GOD is the Treasure of God. He is Eternal and so are You. If we want JOY, we have to be aware of our eternal nature. We return to the awareness of Who we are as God created us. Then we return to utilize the Gift of our Self Identity. Until we wake up to our true Self, we are not tapping into the unlimited resources God has in store for us. Why not today? You are God's Treasure. Claim it now.
