Everything in the world, including the body, is a reflection of thoughts. As the mind is cleared of these false beliefs, you begin to rely solely on Spirit and your focus on the body diminishes. In the awareness of only Spirit, wholeness takes the place of lack and everything comes into alignment with true purpose.
“As you go through the purification process of consciousness, you realize that what were considered normal, natural, human appetites are really ego appetites. The ego is the belief in lack, and that is what an appetite is. People will do everything: use relationships, or use food, cigarettes, or drugs, to fill an empty hole. It’s like a bottomless pit. It just goes on and on and on.”
A Course in Miracles teaches that the body is neutral. ACIM daily Lesson 249 carries the thought, “My body is a wholly neutral thing.” W-294 It does not need special attention in any way. You are not a body, you are Spirit. As you give yourself over to this, there is a lack of interest in the body.
It is all about your thoughts! You are working with Jesus and the Holy Spirit to clear your mind.
