a) “The answer to this question is—one. ²One wholly perfect teacher, whose learning is complete, suffices. ³This one, sanctified and redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. ⁴He who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees himself as a body, or even as in a body. ⁵Therefore he is limitless.” (ACIM, M-12.1:1-5)
b) “Thus does the son of man become the Son of God. ²It is not really a change; it is a change of mind. ³Nothing external alters, but everything internal now reflects only the Love of God.”(ACIM, M-12.2:1-3)
c) “Their minds are one; their joining is complete. ⁹And God works through them now as one, for that is what they are.” (ACIM, M-12.2:8-9)
d) “Yet what makes God’s teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the body. ²As they advance in their profession, they become more and more certain that the body’s function is but to let God’s Voice speak through it to human ears.” (ACIM, M-12.4:1-2)
e) “The central lesson is always this; that what you use the body for it will become to you. ²Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. ³Because it is sinful it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. ⁴Use it to bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes holy.” (ACIM, M-12.5:1-4)
f) “Oneness and sickness cannot coexist. ²God’s teachers choose to look on dreams a while. ³It is a conscious choice. ⁴For, they have learned that all choices are made consciously, with full awareness of their consequences.” (ACIM, M-12.6:1-4)
We have learned from the Course that the body is a communication tool, and it is the Word of God, i.e. the principles that we are learning in this Course, that we should be communicating to others. Ask yourself honestly at the end of the day, have I used my body today to communicate the Word of God? Keep in mind that communication is not only done with words. Our actions and behavior are often a much better means of communication.
