The world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised to doubt and question, and been recognized as made on no assumptions that would stand the light, then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this:
I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.
Yet in this learning is salvation born. And What you are will tell you of Itself. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.V.17. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We are not only clueless in Seattle, we are clueless in the world. We have no idea of what our true Self is. In fact, our true Self cannot be reduced to an idea or concept. Our true Self is Spirit, a beingness that has no limit and cannot be symbolized, only experienced.
The teaching of
A Course in Miracles
is directed to help us let go of the concepts or images we have given meaning in the world, including our self-image. As we let the Holy Spirit help us recognize that what we believe about our self is not true, we clear away the barriers that hide our true Self from our awareness. This is what forgiveness is for.
We cannot find peace in the world. We find peace in the truth of knowing our Self as God created us. With that knowing, we bring peace to the world as we practice seeing the true Self in our brother by remembering we are one in Love. This practice is our only meaningful function in the world.
Today we are given another day to practice bringing peace to the world by remembering our Self.
