I am the light of the world.
Who is the light of the world except God’s Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself.
You will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all illusions, and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth, and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose.
[Tell yourself:] I am the light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I am here. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.61.1:1-2;4:1-3;5:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 61 Insights.)
Fear comes with believing that we are separate and alone. When we believe we are separate, we are unaware that we remain one with our Source and therefore believe we do not share the Light of our Source. Thus believing we are separate results in believing we are in darkness. But this is a lie, a self-deception.
Reminding ourselves that we are the Light of the world is a way to neutralize the self-deception. It is an answer to the temptation to believe the illusion that we are on our own, disconnected from the Source of Light. The ego cannot believe that we are the Light of the world because the ego is the belief in darkness, in being disconnected from Light. So as we affirm that we are the Light of the world, we are reminding ourselves that God’s Light and Love and strength are ours.
Today we choose to remember that we are the Light of the world. We carry this Light with us wherever we go and in all our thoughts. Because this Light is always with us, we can never be in the dark. The Light we are lights our way and dispels all illusions. Remembering that we are the Light of the world brings us back to accepting that we remain in Heaven, where we were created to be.
