We’ve been “looking for love in all the wrong places.” Love and freedom are not found at the level of the body, but at the level of the mind.
Jesus is calling us out of the world to be miracle workers. In A Course in Miracles, Jesus shares a question that we would do well to ask ourselves in any situation in which we are uncertain: “What do I want to come of this? What is it FOR?” T-26.IV.2.1 About our relationships we ask, “Is this relationship for the healing of my mind?”
This question forms a logical thought trail in the mind to follow inwards, first towards recognizing whatever motives the ego had for the situation; and then secondly to help reconnect us with our True Purpose of Inner Peace. Joined in this shared Purpose, it can be seen that the ego’s motives for everything and everyone are actually quite humorous.
