Lesson 94
Lesson 94
I am as God created me.
1. Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. ²You are as God created you. ³The 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. ⁴Here is salvation accomplished. ⁵Here is sanity restored.
2. True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. ²If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. ³He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. ⁴You are as God created you. ⁵Darkness cannot obscure the glory of God’s Son. ⁶You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity.
3. Today we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you. ²Begin these times of searching with these words:
³I am as God created me.
⁴I am His Son eternally.
⁵Now try to reach the Son of God in you. ⁶This is the Self that never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. ⁷This is the Self that never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. ⁸This is the Self that knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death.
4. Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside; go past the list of attributes, both good and bad, you have ascribed to yourself; and wait in silent expectancy for the truth. ²God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. ³You are asking now. ⁴You cannot fail because He cannot fail.
5. If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first five minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself hourly:
²I am as God created me.
³I am His Son eternally.
⁴Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. ⁵And be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:
⁶You are as God created you.
⁷You are His Son eternally.
⁸Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today. ⁹Each one you do will be a giant stride toward your release, and a milestone in learning the thought system which this course sets forth.
