Remembering “I Am Spirit”

You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.

You are the spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a time that has no limit and that has no end.

Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and
healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world.

Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this gift that you received of Him, increase its power and give it back to you.

The Holy Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 97, W-pI.97.2:2-4;4:1;7:2-3;8:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)

The experience of being a bodily identity in a world of form is severely limiting. As a body, it is impossible to truly join with anything. Yet we were created limitless Spirit by a limitless Source.

While we believe we are a body, the Course is giving us tools to practice loosening our identification with the body. We are not asked to deny the body or lay it down all at once. But we are encouraged to begin identifying with limitless Spirit as our reality.

As we shift in this direction, the body becomes less of our identity and its value shifts to its use as a means of communication. The world where everyone identifies with being a body needs those who recognize and accept that they are Spirit and use the body as a means to communicate the unity and Love that is the one Self we share. This communication happens in many ways. It can be simply a smile to someone we walk by on the street. It can be a word of appreciation to a checkout clerk. It can be bringing comfort to someone who is upset or in pain. It can be a loving thought about one was once seen as an adversary.

As we remember we are Spirit, we are open to inspiration from the Holy Spirit for what would be truly helpful in each moment. Frequently reminding ourselves, “I am Spirit,” holds our minds open to Holy Spirit’s guidance in all our doing. With this dedication we serve as teachers of God.
