Nothing Has Changed Our True Self

³Heaven asks nothing. ⁴It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. ⁵You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.

He has remembered you. ²Today we will remember Him. ³For this is Eastertime in your salvation. ⁴And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. ⁵Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense, to learn the part for you within the plan of God. ⁶What little plans or magical beliefs can still have value, when you have received your function from the Voice for God Himself?

Try not to shape this day as you believe would benefit you most. ²For you can not conceive of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning. ³Learn today. ⁴And all the world will take this giant stride, and celebrate your Eastertime with you. ⁵Throughout the day, as foolish little things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you to engage in weaving plans, remind yourself this is a special day for learning, and acknowledge it with this:

⁶This is my Eastertime. ⁷And I would keep it holy. ⁸I will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense against the truth of his reality. (W-135.24:3–26:8)

We have condemned our self to death by choosing the ego as our identity. The ego is in competition with God, trying to usurp His power and replace God. By claiming separation from God, the Source of Life, its only option is to make a world where death is the only final outcome. The ego wants God’s Son dead. It tries to crucify him with judgment and guilt.

Our resurrection comes when we accept our true Self, God’s one Son. It is the choice for Life rather than death; the choice for peace and happiness instead of conflict and loss. Our resurrection to Life comes through forgiving our mistaken belief in the ego. Through forgiveness we release our identification with the ego. We open our minds to welcome the Light of Love and remember we remain whole and complete in God. Nothing has changed our Self, the Son of God.

Accepting the Self God Created as Love

Christ is God’s Son as He created Him. ²He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another, and with God as well. ³He is the Thought which still abides within the Mind that is His Source. ⁴He has not left His holy home, nor lost the innocence in which He was created. ⁵He abides unchanged forever in the Mind of God.

Christ is the link that keeps you one with God, and guarantees that separation is no more than an illusion of despair, for hope forever will abide in Him. ²Your mind is part of His, and His of yours. ³He is the part in which God’s Answer lies; where all decisions are already made, and dreams are over. ⁴He remains untouched by anything the body’s eyes perceive. ⁵For though in Him His Father placed the means for your salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no sin.

Home of the Holy Spirit, and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. ²This is the only part of you that has reality in truth. ³The rest is dreams. ⁴Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ, to fade before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at last. (A Course in Miracles Workbook, What is the Christ, W-pII.6.1–3. See also ACIM Lesson 271 Insights.)

In the Clarification of Terms, it asks, is Jesus the Christ? It answers, “O yes, along with you.” We are not aware of being the Christ because our attention is focused on the body and what it perceives. The body is incapable of seeing our true Self because it has no limits nor form. What we are cannot be limited, for it is eternally one with God in His Love.

We need not aspire to be the Christ; we already are. We need only seek to forgive our misperceptions and mistaken beliefs portrayed to us through the body and the world. We are not limited, we are free. We are not guilty, for we remain Love and nothing else. We need not fear, for we are held safely in the Heart of Love, our Home.

Today we welcome the presence of Christ in our mind, for we are willing to accept the Self God created one with Him.
