[We] invite the memory of God to come… to all the seeming happenings throughout the day.
[We say:]
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.When you are tempted [with a thought of separation], hasten to proclaim your freedom from temptation, as you say:
This thought I do not want. I choose instead __________.
…let Him teach you what to do and say and think, each time you turn to Him. He will not fail to be available to you, each time you call to Him to help you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook, Part I, Review VI, W-pI.rVI.1:4;2:2;3:3-5;)
The world was made by the ego to usurp God and banish His memory from our mind. The ego believes it is constantly threatened by God and must protect itself. God does not do battle or attack. He remains eternally the same — eternal, changeless Love and nothing else. The ego’s perception of threat is justified from its perspective because were we to accept that we are not a body and remain as God created us, the ego would simply cease to seem to exist.
As we invite the memory of God into our mind in every situation, the ego’s illusions of attack and defend are recognized as meaningless and ineffectual. Our safety lies in our unity with God. The truth in us is God’s Love.
With the memory of God accepted in our mind, we are naturally a channel of His Love in every situation. Where there is a call for Love, the Love we are answers. We automatically recognize and join with the presence of Love everywhere and in all situations.
The body becomes an instrument of Love’s expression instead of the ego’s symbol of vulnerability and conflict. The memory of God assures us of our safety. We reside in His Love, peace and joy.
