Expressing the Attributes We Share with God

My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.

Today’s idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. ²It does, however, describe what vision will show you. ³It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself. ⁴Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it.

You will believe that you are part of where you think you are. ²That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want. ³And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made. ⁴The image is part of this environment. ⁵What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. ⁶This is not vision. ⁷Images cannot see.

³Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter. ⁴Illusions have no direction in reality. ⁵They are merely not true.

As often as possible during the day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the idea for today to them, … (A Course in Miracles, W-35.1:1–2:7;5:3-5;9:1. See also ACIM Lesson 35 Insights.)

Today’s idea is part of the Course’s lessons in thought reversal. We think of ourselves as weak, vulnerable, capable of harm and being harmed. But this is not what God created. We are not a body. We are mind in the Mind of God.

As we practice applying this idea, it helps us open to the fact that we remain united in Love with Love. That is our Reality. As we apply the idea, we learn that we share God’s attributes. It opens our mind to release our beliefs in loss, fear and guilt.

We put emphasis on expressing the attributes we share with God. With this practice we acknowledge our holiness. We step away from identifying with the ego’s belief in separation.
