Claiming the Reality of Our True Self

What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you really are must be revealed to you. The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your awareness what the mistake conceals.

You need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift [your faith] from the body. You need a real experience of something else, something more solid and more sure; more worthy of your faith, and really there.

…allow your mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place. Say, for example:

I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.

Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 91, W-pI.91.6:7-10;7:2-4;8:2-6;9:3. See also ACIM Lesson 91 Insights.)

The undoing of the mistaken belief that we are a body is one of the central messages of A Course in Miracles. Twenty of the Workbook lessons tell us to repeat many times a day, “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” This is because the image of a body blocks our awareness from experiencing the Love we are.

Images can only be “seen” in the realm of illusions of separation. But the Love we are is one, united with God and all His Creations. Love cannot be perceived, but It can be felt or experienced. We can feel the attributes of Love such as strength, power and limitlessness.

The daily practice of taking time to quiet our minds to reach the center of peace within opens us to the experience of the Love we are. We experience the power of Love, which is God’s power. We experience His limitlessness as ours. We experience His strength as our invincibility. The truth of What we are dwells in God and cannot be altered by images made to hide the Truth in us.

Each time we pause to feel this from the center of peace within, our faith in What we are grows stronger. We are freed from a mistaken belief and welcome our Reality as Love.
