Accepting Our One Self

Decide but to accept your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son.

Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false, and only truth is true. We think of truth alone as we arise, and spend five minutes practicing its ways, encouraging our frightened minds with this:

The power of decision is my own.
This day I will accept myself as what
my Father’s Will created me to be.

Then will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions, as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God, as it was meant to be.

In patience wait for Him throughout the day, and hourly invite Him with the words with which the day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. God’s Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God’s Son for your illusions of yourself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 152, W-pI.152.8:-5;11-12. See also ACIM Lesson 152 Insights.)


To accept our Self as God created It to be is to accept that we are Love with all Its attributes. We must be loving, joyful, peaceful, innocent and kind. Since this is the reality of everyone, then the appearance of anything else — fear, guilt, anger or unworthiness — is false. This false appearance simply reflects a belief in being without Love, a belief in what is false.

As we let the Holy Spirit help us lay aside our false beliefs and mistaken self-image, we free ourselves to be as God created us.
