Being Free to Be Our True Self

Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.

You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the love from which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-pI.93.7;9. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)

God is Love and nothing else. Likewise, the Self He created is Love and nothing else. Love cannot harm, so it is wholly innocent. Out true Self shares these attributes. This is why our innocence is guaranteed by God.

The ego thought system of separation denies Love and therefore believes guilt and sin are real. We have taught ourselves to believe that we are the ego’s image of our self. It seems that, if we were to accept our innocence, we would lose our identity as the self-image made by the the ego thought system. The ego perceives this as death because it would mean the end of the ego’s image of the little self. This is true. But this is not loss. It is salvation. It clears away the illusion of separation that hides the Self God created from our awareness.

It is time to forgive or let go of the ego’s images of separation, guilt and sin. Our salvation lies in letting go of the false and accepting the truth that we remain as God created us. We are Love and nothing else. It is this acceptance that frees us and saves the world.
