[“I am spirit”] identifies you with your one Self. It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply states the truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace.
You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator.
He will offer all His strength to every little effort that you make. Give Him the minutes which He needs today, to help you understand with Him you are the spirit that abides in Him, and that calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth.
Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world.
The Holy Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 97, W-pI.97.1:1-4;2:2-3;4:3-4;7:2;8:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)
This lesson describes a Self most of us do not identify with. It’s as if our name were Paul, but if someone across the room called out, “Hi Peter,” we would not respond to the call. God is calling to us to our true Self and we are ignoring the call while we believe we are a body in the dream of separation. We need to change the “name” of what we believe we are. We are Spirit, united with all Spirit. This is our true Identity. It is an Identity eternally at peace and joyously extending the Love that created us.
The practice of reminding ourselves, “I am Spirit,” helps our mind change the identity we believe we are. We don’t have to go to a court of law to change our name. We only need to change our mind about what we believe we are to accept our true Self. We are Spirit, one with All That Is.
