You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the Love from which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.
If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:
Light and joy and peace abide in you.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.You can do much for the world’s salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to the part in salvation that God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is true indeed.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-pI.93.9;11. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)
In this world it seems we are constantly presented with triggers that bring up guilt, fear or anger. All this comes from believing that we are separate from what we perceive. This leaves us feeling alone, without Love and vulnerable to external forces beyond our control. Yet we are assured that Light and joy and peace are in us now. We don’t experience this only because we believe in the false idea that separation is real. And so we seem to live in a dark dream that holds no hope for peace or lasting happiness.
Thankfully, a dream is not real. We can awaken from the dream and accept God’s eternal gifts of Light and joy and peace. His assurance that we remain eternally one with Him guarantees our innocence and our union with Him in His Love.
It is time to change our beliefs about ourselves. It is time to accept God’s guarantee, for we are one Self, united with our Creator in His peace, joy and Love.
