Remembering Our True Self Is Love

You live by symbols. ²You have made up names for everything you see. ³Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by its own name.

²You have need to use the symbols of the world a while. ³But be you not deceived by them as well. ⁴They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing it is this thought that will release you from them. ⁵They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where true communication can be found.

Thus what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase; a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the darkness. ²Here you understand the Word, the Name which God has given you; the one Identity which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. ³And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world that darkness rules.

God has no name. ²And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this lesson does all learning end. ³All names are unified; all space is filled with truth’s reflection. ⁴Every gap is closed, and separation healed. ⁵The Name [Identity] of God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. ⁶In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what God has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves. (A Course in Miracles, W-184.1:1-3;9:2–10:3;12. See also ACIM Lesson 184 Insights.)

All of God’s Creation is one with His Identity. As His Son, we are included in God’s one Identity. This cannot change, for what is eternal is changeless by definition. This is the fact we are being called to remember.

Our true Self is Love, wholly included in the oneness of God’s Love. The ego has made a substitute world of empty, meaningless images. Our belief in this world blinds us, making us unaware of our true Self and the Love we are. God has given us the Answer in our mind that we can call upon for help to see past the barriers made by the ego. We are grateful that we have the means to remember we are Love and nothing else.
