Let me remember I am one with God.
* This is the God that is the First Creator, NOT ANYONE THEREAFTER.
1. Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God.
²Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all our undertakings.
³We can fail in nothing.
⁴Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals.
⁵At one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us.
2. How holy are our minds!
* Wholly! Think WHOLE, Complete, Integrated with All That Is or Ever Could Be.
²And everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself.
* First of all, the Holy Spirit is going to show you that the world of sin could NOT be real because God IS, and then it will show you the delusions that people are under because they think that they have offended God by being separated from Him/IT. Then He will show us how to embrace our Truth without attacking them.
³How easily do errors disappear, and death give place to everlasting life.
⁴Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while.
* That is walking the world of egoic chaos.
⁵And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on.
* I adore this! Yet, I would extend a caution for those who think that others need to follow you. They need to follow ONLY the Holy Spirit’s Guidance back to the Presence of God where they have ALWAYS BEEN. They ‘follow’ only in the similar return to Truth.
3. What we receive is our eternal gift to those who follow after, and to those who went before or stayed with us a while.
²And God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave.
* Notice the ABSOLUTE EQUALITY that is highlighted here.
4. Today we will not doubt His Love for us, nor question His protection and His care.
²No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and our awareness of His Presence.
³We are one with Him today in recognition and rememberance.
⁴We feel Him in our hearts.
⁵Our minds contain His Thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon.
⁶Today we see only the loving and the lovable.
5. We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way to peace.
* NOTE the “We see” and “appearances” for you ARE GOING TO ‘SEE’ TWO pictures before you as “pain” is reinterpreted as “peace” because of the witness within that knows that ONLY God IS. Therefore you no longer see the world of suffering as ‘real’ and can be open to Guidance as you listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
²We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the distressed, the lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created.
* They are “restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created” in our Sight because we See them as they truly must be in God’s Presence.
* This does not mean that they are going to see themselves in that light without having accepted the forgiveness of the Atonement and God’s Reality.
³And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring them to life.
* Likewise, they will suffer. Some embellish it and find in it great reward because they think of themselves as virtuous and martyrs, while we who are ‘in the Atonement’ understand the truth. That does not mean that it will not make us sick to our stomachs to watch the suffering and theatrics played out. I have this going on all around me as do you. It can be very obvious in an aging community.
⁴All this we see because we saw it first within ourselves.
* “All this” is “…restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created.” This has been my experience.
6. No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God.
²No thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in anyone, in times gone by and times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now.
³Their thoughts are timeless, and apart from distance as apart from time.
* Okay. Stop a moment. This is you in the Atonement BUT YOU LIKELY WILL NOT SEE IT WITHOUT THE EYES OF FAITH AND THE KNOWLEDGE AND STRENGTH OF GOD.
* You hold space for the Son of God to REMEMBER WHO HE IS. It is NOT your place to determine WHEN this will occur for any part of the Sonship. It is simply yours to exemplify or live however you may be directed by the Holy Spirit.
7. We join in this awareness as we say that we are one with God.
²For in these words we say as well that we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal accordingly.
³We have accepted, and we now would give.
⁴For we would keep the gifts our Father gave.
⁵Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality.
⁶In our experience the world is freed.
* As we LIVE moment by moment, Holy Instant by Holy Instant IN this Witness that God IS and His Son is FREE.
⁷As we deny our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us.
* We are able to “deny our separation from our Father” because we will still feel or experience life as if separation were true as we walk among others who have not as yet received the Atonement and the instruction that follows.
8. Peace be to you today.
* The peace is a witness of the truth from the Holy Spirit.
²Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you.
³Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God.
⁴This is our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation.
⁵We will trust God’s Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail.
⁶Abide with Him this half an hour.
⁷He will do the rest.
* TRUST this and give no expectations to it.
9. Your benefit will not be less if you believe that nothing happens.
²You may not be ready to accept the gain today.
³Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind.
* That “certainty” may be subtle or powerful. Do not be ‘talked out of it.’
⁴This half an hour will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you.
⁵And you will see Christ’s face upon it, in reflection of your own.
* For YOU are a part of the “Body (or Whole) of Christ.”
10. Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you, to look upon yourself.
* THE TRANSFIGURATION; the witness that you are a part of the “Body (or Whole) of Christ.”
²When you are ready you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found.
³You will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time was ever better spent.
11. Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own.
²Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body’s eyes to see.
³And yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.
12. Add further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you today, by hourly repeating to yourself:
²Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace.
(ACIM, W-124.1:1–12:2)
Till next time, God bless, debi.
