I will not fear to look within today.
Within me is eternal innocence, because it is God’s Will that it be there forever and forever. ²I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. ³For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my own. ⁴To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is. ⁵I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real. ⁶Yet it has no effects. ⁷Within me is the Holiness of God. ⁸Within me is the memory of Him.
The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. ²Your altar stands serene and undefiled. ³It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-309. See also ACIM Lesson 309 Insights.)
The ego tells us that if we look within, we will see darkness and sin; we will see justification for guilt and fear. This just shows us what the ego is. We are not the ego. The ego is afraid that we will recognize it for what it is, and let it go.
If we let the Holy Spirit show us what is really within, we will see that we are God’s Son, at one with all Reality in the unity of His Love. We will remember that God shares His Identity with His Son. His Will is our own. We will remember that our will is be Love and extend only Love, along with our Father.
