A Course In Miracles Workbook Lesson 220
✨ “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” ✨
Review of:
(200) “There is no peace except the peace of God.”
To see ourselves as bodies is to be in conflict. Peace can be found only in God. Searching for peace in the realm of the physical is doomed to failure, because the body is an expression of conflict.
The prayer in this review lesson is about not wandering from “the way of peace” (1:2). What might that mean?
Obviously, it refers to any unpeaceful state of mind, any thought of:
• Antagonism
• Anger
• Attack
• Hatred
The Course calls us to mental vigilance, watching our thoughts for anything that opposes peace, and, as soon as such a thought is detected, bringing it to the presence of the Holy Spirit for healing.
We are told to think along these lines: “This is not what I want. I want the peace of God.”
So when we sense our thoughts moving into conflict mode, we respond. Perhaps we pray: “Let me not wander from the way of peace” (1:2). 🕊️
