Releasing Our False Self-Image

You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the love from which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.

If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:
Light and joy and peace abide in you.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.

You can do much for the world’s salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to the part in salvation that God has assigned to you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-pI.93.9;11:1-6. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)

The fear, anger and guilt we experience in this world comes from believing in a false image of ourselves that we are separate and alone. We need to reverse our thoughts and let go of the false image we have made. Reminding ourselves frequently that “Light and joy and peace abide in us and our sinlessness is guaranteed by God” begins the process of letting go of the false image we have made.

When we believe in the false image, it is hard to accept this new thought. That is why repetition is needed. We can trust that the Source of this idea is the Source of all Truth. This idea must be true, even though it seems to be the opposite of our belief. Acceptance of this idea offers us release from fear, anger and guilt. It offers us God’s Light and joy and peace. It’s worth the practice.
