Lesson 212 

I am not a body. I am free. 
For I am still as God created me. 

 (192) I have a function God would have me fill. 

I seek the function that would set me free from all the vain 
illusions of the world. Only the function God has given me 
can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this will I 
accept as mine. 

I am not a body. I am free. 
For I am still as God created me. 

Review 

My function is to remember who I am, to know that I am part of All That Is and that there is nothing else. I do this through forgiveness and I practice it every single day as I am ever vigilant for the thoughts that would tell me there is separation. As I bring those thoughts up to the light and allow them to be corrected for me, I am forgiving the world for what I thought it was. It is wonderful to have a job I understand and can do. It is so good to know that I have a function and that I can fill it. 

Everything else I do in my life, my job, being a mom, or a friend, none of these things is my function. They just create good opportunities to fulfill my function. Before I realized this, my life seemed empty no matter what was going on, whether I was having problems or just absolutely delighted. It seemed purposeless and I did not understand why. I did not realize that all along I was making the only choice that mattered, the one between choosing ego or choosing God. Now that I am consciously aware of my function, everything I do takes on meaning and purpose. 

Understanding my function has an added benefit. Now even when I am busily choosing ego, no matter how frantic, chaotic or miserable I am as I do it, there is a part of my mind that remains sane. Some quiet small part of myself is watching the whole thing and noticing what I am doing and is doing so with a willingness to be healed. Hallelujah! 

Me: Holy Spirit, I am so grateful and so joyful knowing my function and knowing that I am fulfilling it. Thank You so much for fulfilling Your function as my Guide and Teacher. 

Holy Spirit: Precious one, it is my joy to do so. Joy is the natural state of God’s creations as they fulfill their function. You are just beginning to experience this joy and it will grow as you allow more of it into your awareness. Allowing God’s gifts, such as joy and peace, to flow through you is part of your function. 

When you sit in your chair and give five minutes to remembering that you are Love, feel that Love flow through yourself and through the Sonship. Feel the joy of extending your true Self. Notice that the Love flows freely and unimpeded and leaves no one untouched. Isn’t it a relief not to make decisions about who to touch with your Love, and about who deserves this wonderful gift? When you set aside judgment, there is nothing to stop the flow of Love. Continue today to forgive all judgments as they rise up into your conscious mind, and allow yourself to be aware of the joy this brings to you and to all of your Self. 

Regina’s Tips 

“Teach your mind to listen to truth, and you teach the mind that it is a mirage also. In this way, the mind becomes willing to be quieted. And in the quiet of the mind, the echo of truth can be heard. … Teach the mind to be subject to the Heart by being grateful for the desire of the Heart. … Be ready to remind yourself of your truth. The way of the thinking mind is forgetfulness, but your way is the way of remembering. Joyfully remember whenever the mind forgets, and the way will be filled with happiness and deep gratitude.” ~ NTI Titus
