I will accept Atonement for myself.
Here is the end of choice. ²For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. ³And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? ⁴There is no doubt that is not rooted here. ⁵There is no question but reflects this one. ⁶There is no conflict that does not entail the single, simple question, “What am I?”
Yet who could ask this question except one who has refused to recognize himself?
“Nothing the world believes is true. ²It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not know themselves can come to question what it is they are. ³And they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt yourself, and not to be aware of what you are.
Only acceptance can be asked of you, for what you are is certain.
…our mission is:
³I will accept Atonement for myself,
for I remain as God created me.⁴We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. ⁵We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one. (A Course in Miracles, W-139.1:1–2:1;7:1–8:1;11:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 139 Insights.)
It is difficult to fathom that nothing the world believes is true. Yet acceptance of this fact brings release from fear and guilt. It returns the oneness of Love to our troubled minds. This seems to be a radical change of mind. We cannot make this change on our own. Everything we perceive in the world seems to make the world real and true.
We have been given Help that comes from beyond the world we perceive. The Holy Spirit can see what we perceive, but does not believe it. From this standpoint He can help us recognize our mistaken beliefs and see them as errors that need correction. With this recognition He offers His vision of the real world, where the oneness of Love is seen everywhere.
Seeming attacks are recognized as calls for Love because they come from a loveless perception. With His help, we answer the call with Love, and learn that we have all Love as ours. This is how we accept Atonement for our self.
