There is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson may seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and is but a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself you will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness.
I asked you earlier, “Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy Spirit every time you make a decision. For every decision you make does answer this, and invites sorrow or joy accordingly. When God gave Himself to you in your creation, He established you as host to Him forever. He has not left you, and you have not left Him. All your attempts to deny His magnitude, and make His Son hostage to the ego, cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell, and brings you awareness of what you decided for. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.III.3;6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The ego is the rejection of the Source of all power. By making up a world that keeps the Source of power out, the ego is in completion with God. Realizing its powerlessness, the ego is always in fear. While we identify with the ego, we are in a constant state of fear, ranging from mild angst to full blown terror.
Fortunately we have been given help out to get out of this hell. The Holy Spirit is always offering us the lesson that we still remain in God and still share all His strength and His Love. There is nothing that can harm God’s Creation. The images of harm we see in the world simply portray the ego’s belief in littleness. They have no effect whatsoever on what we are in truth — the Son of God.
We can reclaim our status as God’s Son by being vigilant against littleness. The Holy Spirit will help us recognize the falsity of the images we have accepted as ourself in the ego thought system. As we accept His help, we will learn the truth of What we are and remember our magnitude in God. We will remember we are safe. We will remember we are loved and loving. We will remember our oneness in Love.
