Lesson 94

I am as God created me

I am His Son eternally

Today we continue with the only idea that brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone.  You are as God created you.  The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea.  Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.
True light is strength, and strength is impeccability (sinlessness). If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and the light must be in you.  The One Who ensured your impeccability must be the guarantee of strength and light as well.  You are as God created you.  Darkness cannot obscure the glory of God’s Son.  You stand in the light, strong in that impeccability in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity.
Today we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you.  Begin these moments of examination with the following words:

 I am as God created me.

 I am His Son eternally.    

Now try to reach the Son of God in you.  This is the Self that has never sinned,  nor made an image to replace reality.  This is the Self that has never left its home in God to wander the world uncertainly.  This is the self that knows no fear and for whom loss, or suffering or death would be inconceivable.
Nothing is required of you to achieve this goal except to put aside all idols and self-images; to go beyond the list of attributes, good and bad, that you have assigned to yourself; and to await  in silent expectancy for the truth.  God Himself has promised that it will be revealed to all who ask.  You are asking now. You cannot fail because God cannot fail.
If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first five minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself once an hour:

I am as God created me.

I am His Son eternally.  

Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God created you.  And be sure to answer anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:

You are as God made you.

You are His Son eternally.  

Make every effort to do the exercises every hour today.  Every exercise you do will be a giant step towards your deliverance and a milestone in learning the system of thinking that this course sets forth.
