Father, Your Son is perfect. When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. The Thoughts I think with You alone are true.
I will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is also mine to love. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 281,W-pII.281. See also ACIM Lesson 281 Insights.)
We hurt ourselves by believing we are a body, a separate identity in a world of form. It denies the truth that we are Love, created by Love, and at one with our Creator. The image of a body is just a thought-form. Withdraw belief in the thought that made the image and the image disappears.
Our belief in being a separate identity make us unaware of the Thoughts we think with God, the Thoughts of Love. We cannot know the oneness of God’s Love while we believe separation is real. This belief leaves us feeling unloved, alone, vulnerable and afraid. It is an attack on our true Self, God’s Son, because it denies our true Reality.
As we recognize these feelings, we can heal our minds by reminding ourselves that they are the effect of a mistaken belief about our identity. It is time to ask for the Holy Spirit’s help to remember our true Identity as God’s perfect Son. We are not a body; we are still as God created us.
