The Idea That Sets Us Free

I am the holy Son of God Himself.

Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the world. ²And here as well is all the world released. ³You do not see what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God.

Yet what is it except a game you play in which Identity can be denied? ²You are as God created you. ³All else but this one thing is folly to believe. ⁴In this one thought is everyone set free. ⁵In this one truth are all illusions gone. ⁶In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central core of its existence and its guarantee of immortality.

But let today’s idea find a place among your thoughts and you have risen far above the world, and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. ²And from this place of safety and escape you will return and set it free. ³For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. ⁴And his salvation is the gift he gives to everyone, in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way to happiness that changed his whole perspective of the world. (A Course in Miracles, W-191.1:1-3;4:1–5:4. See also ACIM Lesson 191 Insights.)

When we identify with a body, we deny our true Identity as God’s Son. In truth, we remain as God created us. This fact is emphasized in 20 lessons that ask us to affirm it daily. We need the repetition to help us break free from our misidentification with the body.

This idea is the basis for forgiveness of the belief that we are separate from our Father. The belief that we can be harmed and capable of harming leads to fear and guilt. Yet our true Identity remains one in His Love, where harm is impossible. In this Identity, we are united in Love with every brother. Today we choose to embrace the world with Love, remembering we are united as everyone as God’s holy Son.
