You are not your body
Then you can see the light.
Welcome to Daily Miracles, a running commentary on the 365 lessons of A Course in Miracles, an influential spiritual text from the 1970s. I am James Leroy Wilson and I invite you to join me as I go through this material for the first time.
Miracles are seen in light. (ACIM, W-91)
This lesson says that the true light isn’t seen in the body’s eyes, and asks, “If you are not your body, what are you?”
In his book At Your Command, Neville Goddard discusses Daniel and in the lion’s den. Neville writes:
Here, it is recorded that Daniel, while in the lion’s den, turned his back upon the lions and looked towards the light coming from above; that the lions remained powerless and Daniel’s faith in his God saved him.
This also is your story and you too must do as Daniel did. If you found yourself in a lion’s den you would have no other concern but lions. You would not be thinking of one thing in the world but your problem — which problem would be lions. Yet, you are told that Daniel turned his back upon them and looked towards the light that was his God.
Our bodies always seem to have a pressing concern. Usually, they’re not as pressing as being confined to a lion’s den, but the lesson isn’t something…
