Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was never done, that all your sins are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? ²Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. ³You think that this is death, but it is life. ⁴You think you are destroyed, but you are saved.
The self you made is not the Son of God. ²Therefore, this self does not exist at all. ³And anything [the self you made] seems to do and think means nothing. ⁴It is neither bad nor good. ⁵It is unreal, and nothing more than that.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. ²Over and over this must be repeated, until it is accepted. ³It is true. ⁴Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. ⁵Nothing can touch it, or change what God created as eternal. ⁶The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. ⁷Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and joy and peace abide in you.
²Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:
³Light and joy and peace abide in you.
⁴Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-93.4:1–5:5;6;11:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)
We are not the ego. We are not the image of a self made by the ego as a substitute for the Son of God. The ego wants nothing to do with God and avoids God with every trick it can conjure. But it is all smoke and mirrors. Like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz, the ego hides behind a curtain of illusions held in place only by belief. Fortunately, beliefs cannot change reality. We are still the Love that God created us to be eternally.
His Love is one and cannot sin, for there is no separation in oneness. This is why our sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Only illusions can appear to harm each other. The acceptance of our sinlessness, our unity in the Love of God, is the release from hell. It is the return to the Love and joy and peace of God.
