Life is like the truth. It does not have degrees.
In this world, there appears that life has an opposite, death. You think death is of the body. But it is only an idea that originates from the mind. Ideas do not leave their source. Change your mind about yourself. It is the cause of healing and why you cannot die. The truth is you are one with God.
What seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. It dreams of time. When the mind awakes, it continues as it always was.
Let us be children of the truth, and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it.
We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from which perfection comes to us. The wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness.

We think sickness, hunger, and psecial relationships are of the body, as well as death. Because we believe we are bodies, we believe every experience, problem, and solution is of the body as well.
"Can you who see yourself within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything your reconginize your identify with externals, something outside itself" (T-18, VIII.1:5-6)
Lesson 167 says: "A though is in the mind. It can be then applied as mind directs it, but its origin is where it must be changed if change occurs".
This repeats one of the key statements of the course: " ...seek onot change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world." (T-21in 1:7).
