I am one Self, united with my Creator.
Today’s idea accurately describes you as God created you. ²You are one within yourself, and one with Him. ³Yours is the unity of all creation. ⁴Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. ⁵You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.
You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God’s creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. ²Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray.
⁴You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. ⁵It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance.
…unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. ³…you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation.
…with all the certainty that you can give, [affirm]:
²I am one Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. (A Course in Miracles, W-95.1:1–2:2;4:4-5;5:2-3;11:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 95 Insights.)
We have been given a practice that can help us remember our true Identity as Love in the Mind of God. The ego resists this practice by offering myriad distractions that reinforce its perception of reality. It keeps us on constant alert to detect potential “threats” to our identity and well-being, centered on the body. The need to defend against these threats seem to be needed for our survival. But it is only trying to maintain a false identity.
The acceptance of the thought that we are one Self, united with our Creator completely neutralizes the perceived need to defend our identity. This thought will awaken us to our true Identity as God’s one Son, eternally united with Him in perfect peace and unlimited joy. Today we practice affirming “I am one Self, united with my Creator” whenever our peace of mind is disturbed.
