A Course in Miracles Lesson 72 – Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation

Learning for today: This lesson is a powerful one. It really resonates with me. The text is potent and full of wisdom in an area I am working with right now. My salvation is having the mind, body and soul all equally in collaboration as friends, not one being any important than the other. In this upside down world where the body especially for women gets most of the attention and focus this has been key to remembering that where my salvation lies is focus and attention equally on my mind, my body and of course my soul.

Text: God made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself be deprived of what the body offeres. Take the little you can get. God gave you nothing. The body is your only saviour. It is the death of God and your salvation.
This universal belief is the world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and humilate it. Others love the body and try to glorify and exalt it. But while the body stands at the centre of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God’s plan for salvation, and holding grievances against Him and His creation, that you may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome It as Friend. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked away from awareness by the body’s limitations. Now we are going to try to see this differently.

Yours faithfully,
