I am not a body.
I am free.
For I remain as God created me.
[194] I place the future in the hands of God.
The past is gone; the future is not yet.
Now am I freed from both. For what God gives can only be for good. And I accept but what He gives as what belongs to me.
I am not a body.
I am free.
For I remain as God created me.
✨ Summary & practice
Letting go of time.
The review of lesson 194 invites you to experience the freedom that comes when you place the future in God’s Hands. The refrain "I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me" is the declaration of a freedom that transcends time itself. Reviews are important because they gradually free you from the tyranny of time.
Lesson 194 showed you that placing the future in God’s Hands is a giant step toward salvation. The review makes this idea immediately practical: "The past is gone; the future is not yet. Now I am free of both. For what God gives can only be for good.
During this review period, observe how much time you spend worrying about tomorrow or regretting yesterday. Reviews are designed to break this mental habit. Each time you return to the present and repeat the refrain, you cut the chains of time. The past has no power over you because you know God has already healed everything.
Practice suggestion:
Today, each time you worry about the future or dwell on the past, pause and say: "The past is gone, the future is not yet. Now, I am free." Then take a deep breath and return to the present moment. What do you feel now? What do you see now? Often, in the present, there is no real problem. Problems exist only in projections of the future or interpretations of the past. Return to the now, and you rediscover peace.
Reviews are the daily training in freedom: a gentle but firm discipline that gradually liberates you from all the chains you once believed were real.
