[“My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.”] does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself. Yet 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. That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want. And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made. The image is part of this environment. What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot see.
The idea for today presents a very different view of yourself. By establishing your Source it establishes your Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 35, W-pI.35.1:1-3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 35 Insights.)
It seems that we are capable of being irritated, angry, fearful, sad and lonely. Yet all these emotions cannot be experienced by what is holy. Holiness comes from being in the oneness of God’s holiness. The fact that our mind is part of Gods means that all these unloving emotions must not be in our holy mind. They do not belong to us because they come from the ego — the belief in a mind that is from God.
Whenever we experience unloving emotions, we are believing we are not what God created us to be. We are believing in a false image of what we are. Today’s affirmation offers us a practice that will help us change our mind from believing in a lie to accepting the truth that our true Self remains one with our Creator. Our true Self is Love and nothing else, just as our Creator is.
Whenever we experience an emotion that is not loving, we need to remind ourselves that this is a thought we do not want. And tell ourselves “My Mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.”
