We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are part of you, and you of them.
This does Atonement teach, and demonstrates the Oneness of God’s Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about yourself, and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we will do today.
I will accept Atonement for myself,
For I remain as God created me.We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one. And in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father’s Love contains them all. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 139, W-pI.139.9-10;11:3-6. See also ACIM Lesson 139 Insights.)
It brings us great joy when we see the Love that is the truth in every brother. All the loneliness, sadness, pain, guilt and fear we experience comes from seeing false images that deny the truth of What we are. To see ourselves or anyone as a body denies our true Identity as extensions of God’s Love.
Our mission here is to lay aside the false beliefs that blind us to the presence of changeless Love everywhere. The focal point of these false images is the body. This is why we need to remind ourselves frequently, every day, “I am not a body. I am free. I am still as God created me.” This is our mission.
