Releasing Our False Self-Image

You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the love from which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.

If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:

Light and joy and peace abide in you.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.

You can do much for the world’s salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to the part in salvation that God has assigned to you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-pI.93.9;11:1-6. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)

The fear, anger and guilt we experience in this world comes from believing in a false image of ourselves that we are separate and alone. We need to reverse our thoughts and let go of the false image we have made. Reminding ourselves frequently that “Light and joy and peace abide in us and our sinlessness is guaranteed by God” begins the process of letting go of the false image we have made.

When we believe in the false image, it is hard to accept this new thought. That is why repetition is needed. We can trust that the Source of this idea is the Source of all Truth. This idea must be true, even though it seems to be the opposite of our belief. Acceptance of this idea offers us release from fear, anger and guilt. It offers us God’s Light and joy and peace. It’s worth the practice.

Remembering We Are Love

Miracles mirror God’s eternal Love.
To offer them is to remember Him,
And through His memory to save the world.

What we forgive becomes a part of us, as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You created him. Your memory depends on his forgiveness. What he is, is unaffected by his thoughts. But what he looks upon is their direct result. Therefore, my Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory will set me free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory return to me, and give it to the world in thankfulness.

And as we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the reality of Love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 350, W-pII.350. See also ACIM Lesson 250 Insights.)

When we judge we block the memory of God from our awareness. Judgment is the denial of Love, which cannot judge. Forgiveness acknowledges the reality of Love and looks past everything that is not Love. Do we want to know that we are loved? Forgiveness brings this to us.

It may seem that we forgive another, but it is always a gift to ourselves as well. Forgiveness is how we accept the Love we are. As we accept that we are Love, we automatically give It, for that is Love’s nature.

Today we would let go of judgment and remember we are Love and remember God
