Love created me like itself.
²I am in the likeness of my Creator. ³I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. ⁴I am not a body. ⁵I would recognize my reality today. ⁶I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concept to replace my Self. ⁷I am in the likeness of my Creator. ⁸Love created me like itself.
You might find these specific forms helpful in applying the idea:
²Let me not see an illusion of myself in this.
³As I look on this, let me remember my Creator.
⁴My Creator did not create this as I see it. (A Course in Miracles, W-84.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 84 Insights.)
The world we see represents our beliefs. We people it with figures that represent what we believe we are. The fear and anger, guilt and sadness that we experience all come from our beliefs. Yet these beliefs deny the reality that Love created us like Itself.
This is why it is helpful to remind ourselves to not see an illusion of ourself in the world. In truth, we are one Self. We share the same the same united, changeless Love That created us like Itself. If someone seems to do something that bothers us, we are perceiving an illusion. We are not seeing them truly.
As we remember this, we can ask for help to see past the illusion to the reality of Love. This is how we will learn that we are Love and nothing else.
