Fascinating experiment. So what has been getting through the felt intensity of this month has been recognizing beyond the level of concept/ thought that I am not the body. My buddy DJ kept drilling it into my noggin yet it remained an idea rather then a lived experience. Yet something that happened three weeks ago was so intense that it kind of dropped kicked me into the awareness or go mad.
So last night I couldn’t sleep and my arm was itching. I turned on the light to see what was up. Then I had the though, oh no!, I was laying on that rock near poison oak, what if I got it again! I literally watched my arm turn red in like 3 seconds. The story of poison oak was impacting the body clearly to me. Then I remembered turning red like that in a few seconds is NOT a symptom of poison oak that I have ever experienced. I COMMANDED the body to heal itself. I said, stop itching! It is just my mind playing with me. By morning I want all of these symptoms, redness itching gone. And as Pickard would say, “Make it so!” (or I think that is what he says.) And guess what. Looked in the morning, all gone. So I am going to pass on a big clue, dear friends. Turns out ACIM is right, we are NOT the body. SO sweet to start to grok this experientially!
