³Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts.
The world can teach no images [concepts] of you unless you want to learn them. ²There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know not what you are. ³It is to this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound. ⁴Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is. ⁵When every concept has been raised to doubt and question, and been recognized as made on no assumptions that would stand the light, then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. ⁶There is no statement that the world is more afraid to hear than this:
⁷I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself.
⁸Yet in this learning is salvation born. ⁹And What you are will tell you of Itself. (T-31.V.14:3;17)
The certainty we give to believing that we are a body in a world of other bodies stands as a barrier that keeps us from knowing the truth of What we are. The ego is proud of what it has made. Its certainty is a bluff that hides the fact that the ego and all its concepts are illusions.
When we are willing to question what we believe we are, our mind begins to open to our true Identity. Our prayer today is, “Holy Spirit, I do not know what or who I am. Teach me to see as You see. I turn over all my perceptions to You for your loving replacement. I know that You will lead me Home to the joy of perfect Love. I am willing to follow.”
