Setting Aside Our False Identity

God is my Father, and He loves His Son.

My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to give it light. ²It lights the world as well. ³It is the gift my Father gave to me; the one as well I give the world. ⁴There is no gift but this that can be either given or received. ⁵This is reality, and only this. ⁶This is illusion’s end. ⁷It is the truth.

My Name, O Father, still is known to You. ²I have forgotten It, and do not know where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. ³Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the world I see. ⁴Reveal what You would have me see instead. (A Course in Miracles, W-224. See also ACIM Lesson 224 Insights.)

When we identify with the ego, we accept a fake identity in place of the Identity given us by our Creator. This false identity denies all Reality. It shows us a dream that seems real but has no reality in truth. This dream is like a costume ball where everyone presents an identity that is not real. Nothing is as it is in truth.

It is time to let go of this charade. Our true Identity remains unaffected by the costumes we have accepted as real. As we lay these costumes aside, we no longer see them in others. We recognize our Selves and every brother as Love and nothing else. Love sees only Itself, for It sees all of Reality. We are grateful that our misadventure into a dream of false identities has had no effect on our true Identity, given us by our Father.
