However that is not what we really are. In reality, we are Spirit. We are Mind; part of the one Mind of God.
So let us not be confused or conflicted by this paradox. It would indeed be foolish to attempt to convince ourselves that we do not have a body. Of course we do. And the Course acknowledges this as so.
Would God deny us the appreciation of experiencing the sights of the wonders of nature, for example? Would He have us believe we cannot enjoy the sound of beautiful music?
We are all of one Mind; God Mind. There is no separation. In this sense we are obviously not bodies. We are the extension of the One Source. Everything exists as one undivided thought. There is no place for bodies on this level. This is the level of pure Spirit.
Your body is not who you are. Your mind is who you are. So, you are not a body. You are a mind; a part of the Mind of God. Do not think your mind is in your brain and your brain is in your body. Your Mind is spirit and One with God.
You have the use of a vehicle, here on earth, which is a body.
The bodies we have are separate. The Mind that we are is One.
