I am as God created me” is] the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as God created you.
If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you.
…the Son of God in you… is the Self that never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self that never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self that knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death.
…be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:
You are as God created you.
You are His Son eternally. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 94, W-pI.94.1:1-2;2:2-4;3:5-8;5:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 94 Insights.)
The ego is the belief that it is possible to change what God created. But this could only seem to be accomplished in a fantasy or dream. The appearance that we are in a world of time with separate bodies and places is the result of accepting with the ego’s belief.
To return to awareness of our true Self simply requires that we let go of the ego belief system. The practice of reminding ourselves that we are God’s Son eternally helps us shift from a mistaken identification with the ego to accepting the truth that we are God’s Creation, not the ego’s fantasies.
To recognize fully that we are as God created us, we must also recognize that every brother is as God created him. Full acceptance of this thought awakens us from the dream of separation, for everyone is joined in the one Self God created as His Son. Fear and guilt cannot exist in the oneness of Love. This idea returns us to the peace and joy of our unity in God’s Love.
