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.
All of [the attributes you ascribe to yourself] are equally unreal, because you do not look upon yourself through the eyes of holiness.
Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter. Illusions have no direction in reality. They are merely not true.
As often as possible during the day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding:
But my mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.
(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 35, W-pI.35.2;4:3;5:3-5;9:1;7:5. See also ACIM Lesson 35 Insights.)
With this practice we are learning to let go of the false mind we have been thinking is our mind. With Holy Spirit’s help, we are brought to the awareness of our real Mind — the Mind that is filled with peace, love and eternal happiness… This is worth the practice. We want to be happy. We are tired of the yo-yo ego mind which is full of efforting and pain.
With Holy Spirit leading the way, our idea about what we are in truth is being transformed… We identify with the Love in others as we see that we are one with the Mind of pure Love… Fear dissolves and we see Love everywhere… We see kindness, generosity and peace everywhere…
We feel relaxed and safe as we follow Holy Spirit’s lead to recognizing our real Self and the real Self in everyone… We are so grateful to return to the truth and forgive, or let go of, all the heavy burdensome ideas of being separate from our Source. It is worth the practice.
