[I am spirit] identifies you with your one Self.
You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.
You are the spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a time that has no limit and that has no end. Give, then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He will offer all His strength to every little effort that you make. Give Him the minutes which He needs today, to help you understand with Him you are the spirit that abides in Him, and that calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 97, W-pI.97.1:1;2:2-4;4:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)
The Course is training us to change our minds about what we think we are. The world we experience with the body seems very real. It seems that we really are different from everybody and everything. It seems that the only way we can communicate is through forms such as words, gestures and actions done with the body. But the Course is telling us that this experience is only a dream of self-imposed limitation. We are no more limited by the body than we are by time and space.
By reminding ourselves that we are Spirit, not limited by time or distance but one with all Spirit, all brothers and with God, we loosen our investment in the limited world of dreams. Each time we accept just a little that we are Spirit, we take a step toward remembering that we remain at one with our Creator. We share all His attributes. His strength is ours. His Love infuses us with gratitude and inspiration to share and extend His Love. Here we find joy and peace. Here we remember Who we really are.
