In this audio recording, CA Brooks and Bruce Rawles talk about the fifth essay in part II the Workbook of A Course In Miracles, entitled “What is the body?” ACIM suggests that there are really only two purposes for the body – as is true for everything else in our world – we either use the body for the loving kindness of inclusive thinking … or we use it for the divisive purpose of maintaining the belief in separation and separate interests; exclusive thinking. Ego propaganda suggests that the body must be defended against everything not “itself” whereas our Inner Kindness Teacher gently encourages us to see bodies as a means for communication and removing the barriers we’ve placed in our mind that seem to keep peace from us.
Here is the first paragraph of this profound essay:
“The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built, to separate parts of his Self from other parts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die as it decays and crumbles. For within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love. Identifying with his safety, he regards himself as what his safety is. How else could he be certain he remains within the body, keeping love outside?” – W-pII.5.1
This latest audio conversation is another example of CA’s excellent regular ACIM internet radio program on 12Radio devoted to the spirituality of A Course in Miracles.
