Accepting the Self Love Created

Love created me like Itself.

I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concept to replace my Self. I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like Itself.

You might find these specific forms helpful in applying the idea:

Let me not see an illusion of myself in this.
As I look on this, let me remember my Creator.
My Creator did not create this as I see it. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 84, W-pI.84. See also ACIM Lesson 84 Insights.)

When we see ourselves as a body, we are joining with the ego’s grievance against God. We are identifying with an ego idol that stands in the way of our recognition of the Self God created like Himself. Because God is one, it is impossible that He could create something that is separate from Him. Were separation to be accomplished, it would mean the death of God and the elimination of Love.

That is why the ego’s world is loveless. It is time to disconnect from this mistaken identity. We are not the ego nor any of its idols of separation. When we affirm that Love created us like Itself we are returning our allegiance to the truth. We are returning to Love as our Identity.

As we accept our Identity as Love, the images of the world diminish in importance. Increasingly we see beyond them. Our judgments shift from attempts to make separation real to vision that sees beyond the forms to the eternal presence of Love.

As we let Love in, we express It in the world with kindness, helpfulness, willingness to offer Love’s blessing instead of the ego’s condemnation. We become God’s messengers of Love to help heal the loveless world. We are increasingly joyful as joining in Love becomes our primary dedication.
