Father, our Name [Identity] is Yours. In [Your Identity] we are united with all living things, and You Who are their one Creator. What we made and call by many different names [identities] is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved from all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give, in place of every one of them. Your [Identity] is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your [Identity] unites us in the oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 184, W-pI.184.15. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)
If God is our Identity, all His attributes are ours. Our Identity is at peace because God’s Identity is peace. We are Love because God is Love. Because God is our Identity, His joy is ours. Because God is our Identity, harm is impossible; there is nothing to fear.
The fact that we experience fear and guilt, lack and loss, a sense of being incomplete and isolated, simply shows that we have identified with a false image of what we are. It’s time to turn in our false ID and reclaim our real Identity. Our false ID has never given us access to anything that satisfied or fulfilled our need. Our true Identity unites us with Love, our only need. By this Unity, our only need is fulfilled.
We exchange our false ID for our true Identity through forgiveness. We forgive by bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit to let Him shine the Light of truth on them and let them fade away into the nothingness from which they came. The Holy Spirit is the means through which we reclaim our Identity, given us by our Creator.
