Love created me like itself.
Today’s idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. ²This is why you are the light of the world. ³This is why God appointed you as the world’s savior. ⁴This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. ⁵He is saved by what you are.
“…think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature.…
³Holiness created me holy.
⁴Kindness created me kind.
⁵Helpfulness created me helpful.
⁶Perfection created me perfect.⁷Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. ⁸We are trying today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His Own. ⁹We are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.
²You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. ³…remind yourself that love created you like itself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 67, W-67.1:1-5;2:1,3-9;5:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 67 Insights.)
Because Love created us like Itself, we are under no laws but God’s. The attributes of Love are our innate attributes. Because the body is a false image, the attributes and laws of God do not apply to the body. They apply to our true Self, which is formless Love.
We have subscribed to the ego’s malware which substitutes a image of our identity. The Course is gently and lovingly guiding us to unsubscribe. We don’t really want the messages the ego sends us. We want to remember our true Self, which is innately kind, happy, loving and peaceful. This exercise helps us let go of our subscription to a false image.
The only subscription we need was given us in our creation by God. God is our true operating system. It runs on Love and nothing else. It is impervious to the ego’s corrupting thoughts. As we practice reminding ourselves of our true attributes, the ego’s malware is neutralized and dispelled. We return to being the Love we were created to be.
