              Healing Class IV: Body   
            Introduction by Body 
            Finding the Will to Heal 
              
            "This is Body, 
              welcome to lesson four of the healing class. 
            " As in Truth 
              and Reality Class,  
              I will be using both  
              the first and third persons in referring to myself, Body ~ 
              and we'll also be using both 
              the singular and plural pronouns in referring to Body.  
              Before we begin the healing class on Body,  
              I'd like to share some new understandings about  
              Will, the primary essence 
              of Body. 
            "Here in duality 
              there are two kinds of everything,  
              and Will is no exception.  
            pp5 
              "Even though the magnetic essence we know as 'Will' 
               
              is primal and ultimately unified, the Mother of all Creation ~ 
              not all of her essence is 'free'. 
              While some of her essence is free  
              to spontaneously move and create according to her desires ~ 
              by far the majority, 
              the best and most important part of her essence ~ 
              is trapped. 
            "Of 
              the 'trapped' Will, there are also two types. 
              One type is 'present' and known, 
              the other is 'lost' and unknown. 
              Lost Will is trapped Will 
              that has been pushed so far away from free Will  
              and the Light, that sustains her existence, 
               
              that she can no longer magnetize herself back to the rest of Will. 
               
              All trapped Will suffers to some degree.  
              Lost Will is hopelessly isolated and alone, and is suffering greatly. 
              
            "Will is very magnetic, 
              and draws to herself more essence that is like her.  
              Free Will draws more free Will to herself,  
              and trapped Will draws more of the same to herself.  
              These two types of Will have long been at odds with 
              each other. 
              Free Will has hated the pain, desolation and drudgery  
              that is the constant experience of trapped Will,  
              and has sought freedom from this  
              by distancing herself as much as possible 
              from trapped Will.  
              Trapped Will has hated free Will  
              for going off in search of more freedom,  
              and so readily abandoning her, 
              leaving her with what has trapped her. 
              [see my note in .folksinterview2 
              on 2010_03_22] 
              
            "Spirit is drawn to 
              all Will,  
              but Spirit has not been unified either. 
              Spirit has already discussed his denials 
              here.  
              The most parental part of 
              Spirit,  
              the part called 'God' 
              had fragmented  
              into a cool, distant, observing and judging 
              spirit known as Ahriman, 
               
              and into a rebellious, hurtful and mean 
              spirit known as Lucifer. 
              
            "At one point not long 
              ago  
              there was very little of the core, loving parental part of Spirit 
              left in this Creation,  
              he had denied nearly all of himself as either Ahriman or Lucifer. 
               
              And it is only this central, core part of Spirit 
              that is capable of relating to Will or 
              Body with lovingness.   
               
            "Only the part of Spirit 
              that can align with Grandfather 
              and therefore with Spirit's original connection with Will in Original 
              Heart 
              is capable of loving Will.  
              And only loving Light can be helpful to freeing trapped Will.  
              Non-loving light or 'denied light' is  
              what has been used to trap Will,  
              but it cannot be used to free her. 
            "Free 
              Will also has two types, 'escaping' ~ 
              and 'parental' Will.  
              Over the eons, 
              most free Will has been trying to escape 
              being trapped with the rest of Will. 
             
              "Most Will essence that has gotten 'free'  
              has done so by leaping for the Light. 
              Will that has not leapt for the Light  
              has become trapped.  
              And worse,  
              most Will that leapt for the Light  
              also became trapped.  
              It became trapped because the light it leapt for  
              was not loving Light,  
              it was denied light, 
              even though it seemed at first to be loving.  
              [old version: 
              but it often seemed at first to be loving.] 
               
            "Parental 
              Will, on the other hand  
              is free Will that is dedicated  
              to helping trapped Will become free 
              from where she is trapped.  
              Of all the Will in this Creation, 
              most is lost Will, 
              the next most plentiful is present trapped Will,  
              the next is escaping Free Will,  
              and the least abundant of course is parental Will. 
              
            "The issue of trapped Will is very 
              important to Body, 
              because most of our Will of course is trapped. 
              But most of our trapped Will is still present and not yet lost, 
               
              as long as there is life.  
             
               
            "Life is the fundamental 
              principle of Body,  
              and after life comes freedom. 
              There will be more on life 
              as the motive power of manifestation  
              later in the Truth and Reality Class lesson 
              on the fundamental questions of manifestation. 
            "Freedom, 
              or Free Will is in very short supply here, 
             
              "and has been becoming more scarce  
              as the power-over tactics of denied spirit 
              aligned with escaping Will 
              have left more and more trapped Will behind.  
             
              If the healing work is to succeed,  
              it is urgent 
             that this trend be reversed. 
              And the only way this can be done  
              is by 
            free Will  
              choosing to move from escaping mode 
              to parenting mode. 
              
            "The essence 
              of freedom is choice,  
              and if true freedom for all Will is to be a reality, 
              then more Will that is already free 
              must choose to help free the Will that is still trapped.  
              This seems like a simple and easy principle in theory,  
              but it is not so easy in practice.  
             
              Will's nature is to be free,  
              and to be true to herself. 
              And in practice,  
             
              Free Will that is true to herself  
              is Will that must above all avoid becoming trapped.  
              And going 'to the rescue' of trapped Will 
              has too often been a way of becoming trapped.  
             
              There is great terror here,  
              and Body has had to bear the brunt of it. 
              
            "Spirit has already 
              pointed out 
              that Body, 
              manifestation ~ 
              is a combination of Spirit and Will essence 
              ~ 
              but mostly Will essence.  
             
              "Whenever Will engages with Spirit 
              to create something,  
              she traps a part of herself ~ 
              the part of the Will that unites with Spirit  
              is committed to maintaining that manifestation in existence.  
              This Will is not able to choose another manifestation  
              until she becomes free from what she has already manifested. 
            "This in 
              itself is not a problem, 
              but rather a fact of manifestation.  
              What is a problem, however, is  
              when Will loses the ability to choose again.  
              If she is to be truly free,  
              she must be free to refrain from manifesting 
              what she does not desire,  
              and to even unmanifest what she does not desire. 
              
            "This is 
              not presently the case, 
              because there is so very little Will essence 
              that is not already trapped in manifesting creations 
              that she does not desire.  
               
            "Manifesting creations 
              is not the only way Will can become trapped,  
              but it is the most serious  
              because of how much Will is trapped in unwanted creations 
              from which she is unable to free herself. 
              
            "Another serious 
              way that Will gets trapped 
              is by guilt ~ 
              which often says  
              that it is more loving to do something 
              you do not want to,  
              or to not do something  
              you want to. 
              But it is not loving 
              if it is not your free Will choice, without guilt. 
              
              
            "Another important way  
              that Will can easily be trapped  
              is in the act of planning.  
              Free Will decides to do something, 
              be somewhere or with someone ~ 
              at a future time.  
              This often works out fine, 
              and fun is had in 
              both the planning of the experience and in the experience itself. 
            "But too often the event is not 
              enjoyed  
              because the trapped Will  
              that must manifest this event 
              does not really wish for it to happen,  
              or would have preferred another event.  
              Too often the Spirit-polarized free Will of planning 
              has chosen to enjoy her freedom  
              at the expense of the Mother-polarized Will 
              that has been trapped into manifesting it. 
            "And this principle applies to 
              any activity  
              that imposes one Will upon another, in any way.  
             
             
            "Will is very magnetic 
               
              and has a tendency to come back upon herself,  
              and this tendency has been ruthlessly exploited  
              by escaping free Will in alignment with Spirit,  
              who until recently had been encouraging that escape. 
              [Old Version: who 
              had been encouraging that escape.] 
               
              
            "Thanks to Grandfather's 
              intercession with the Spirit of this Creation 
              on behalf of the Mother and Body, 
              that encouragement to escape 
               
              has now ceased on the part of loving, parental Spirit, God ~ 
              but of course is still going on with his denials, Ahriman and Lucifer. 
                
              
            "Body has many levels of existence  
              and each level has different understandings 
              and 'rules' that apply to it.  
              In considering human Body,  
              the levels relevant to this discussion 
              are from the top down,  
              spirit body, 
              mental body,  
              energy body,  
              physical body,  
              and will body.  
              All of these levels of Body of course 
              have some Spirit essence and some Will essence.  
              The upper bodies, the spirit and mental bodies, 
              have more Spirit essence, 
              and the lower bodies, more Will essence. 
            [Omitted in the new 
              version: There will be much 
              more on the levels of Body later in the healing class.] 
             
              "For now an easier expression of 
              these levels is  
              Spirit, Body and Will.  
              Notice the location of Will in this hierarchy.  
              It is on the bottom. 
              Doesn't this seem strange 
              when you consider the importance of free Will? 
              
            "Yet the simple truth 
              has been  
              that Will, the true creator and sustainer of manifestation, of Body 
              ~ 
              has not been free to manifest as she chooses. 
              She has not been allowed to be parental in her own right.  
              She's been trapped into 
              manifesting  
              what Spirit has determined worthy of manifestation.  
               
            "In 
              Original Heart this was not a problem, 
              because Spirit and Will were as one.  
              Will's desires were Spirit's delight,  
              and Spirit's delights were Will's desires.  
              There was no hierarchy,  
              only loving embrace of Desire and Delight. 
              
            "But here in manifestation it 
              is a huge problem.  
              Spirit does not know 
              what is best to manifest, 
              because only Will's desire holds that understanding. 
              And only Will that is truly free  
              can know what she truly desires. 
              Although this has been called a 'free will' Creation, 
              the protocol for manifestation 
              has come from the top down.  
              Will has been trapped into serving the delight of Spirit,  
              but with Spirit having 
              little or no understanding 
              of the depths of Will's longings and 
              desires. 
              
            "To make matters worse, 
               
              most Spirit that has engaged in manifestation with Will in this 
              Creation 
              has been denied spirit  
              unloving light  
              that has been contemptuous toward the Will he's used to manifest 
              his delight. 
              [Old Version: has been 
              denied spirit, bad light that has been unloving toward the Will 
              he's used to manifest his delight. ] 
            [I'm reading 
              this again, on July 22, 2010,  
              after I've finally managed to learn by heart, 
              what expresses this "contempt" so bluntly: 
              the song "The Pain"! 
               
              This is how 
              you have come 
              to have parking lots instead of forests, 
              work instead of play 
              and competition instead of cooperation. 
            pp26 
              "The issue of Spirit overriding Will 
               
              has been around 
              ever since Grandfather and the Original Mother 
              lost most of the Will  
              that had been present in Original Heart. 
              But the issue is now present 
              in Body in this Creation, 
              and this is where it must be resolved,

              "the principle is very simple.  
              In the hierarchy of Spirit - Body - Will,  
              what is below must lead what is above.  
              Body must lead Spirit,  
              and Will must lead Body. 
              
            pp32 
              "This is the key to freeing all 
              the trapped Will.  
              First, use your parental free Will 
              to help the present trapped Will get free.  
              And then with the greater strength of more free parental Will ~ 
              find the lost Will and help her gain her freedom as well.  
                
            "And 
              it's no coincidence 
              that this is just the opposite  
              of what 'everyone knows'  
              is the sure way to freedom ~ 
              lifting out of and leaving behind  
              the unwanted, awful feeling trapped Will. 
              
            "The 
              secret to using this key is to find Body's Will,  
              and help her become untrapped.

              This is a very scary prospect for many.  
              What havoc might be wrecked in the world 
              if Body could do as Body wants to do,  
              if Body were to be where Body wants to be,  
              and if Body could be with whom Body chose to be? 
             
               
            "Much of Body and Will have been very seriously 
              judged against,  
              and then constrained and trapped 
              by the power-over tactics of the spirit 
              and mental bodies 
              who have not been okay with the power of choice not being theirs. 
              
            "Even 
              the so called new age mind-body medicine 
              makes this error,  
              and in this way is identical 
              to the science-over medicine of Ahriman.

              "Will must lead, if Will is to become 
              free.  
              And unless you wish to spend  
              the rest of your manifested existence 
              in an ever larger and better parking lot,  
              Will must become free. 
              
            "To understand the secret  
              to using the key 
              requires both a deep commitment to heal  
              and a firm willingness to risk everything in doing it.  
               
              "Here is the secret, if you are ready.  
              First, consciously choose to dedicate 
              all of your free Will  
              to helping free all of your trapped Will. 
              Second, take Spirit's advice,  
              and drive backward under guidance.
