Today’s idea is merely another way of saying “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness, and provide you with a justification for forgetting it. It is the temptation to abandon God and His Son by taking on a physical appearance. It is this the body’s eyes look upon.
Nothing the body’s eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of temptation, since this was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of temptation becomes the spiritual recognition of salvation.

It appears to theologians as though there is a conflict between determinism (what you call the inevitability of everything) and free will (which apparently gives you choice in what you think or what actions you take.) Actually, all earth consciousness is not an assertion, but rather a denial of free will. In reality, your will is absolutely unlimited and the limitations you place upon it are what bind you to the extermination process – that is aging and death. You suffer pain, are diseased and die by your own decision.
There is no alternative to your finally discovering that this must be true.
