I Am Free

Everything I see...is me.

If "I" can look "out" at the world I see, and know that "I" am one Self, then how can I attack or be attacked? If I can see that the world is a hiding place...a place we made up because we thought we offended God, maybe even killed Him, and shattered our Self into separated selves, and formed separated things (Carved out of eternity: A Course In Miracles).

If I can do that, and I have found that I can, then I choose the Holy Spirit over the ego. I remember that one is the truth, and one is unreal (nothing unreal exists: ACIM.) It is as simple as that. This is our choice, and nothing else. There is nothing else. But we must look at the guilt associated with our throwing truth away.

What tremendous guilt it must be. One has but to look at the news. One has but to recognize that the negative is embraced first, over the positive. Most people do not trust positivity. This has been my experience. I believe this is one way the ego keeps us "here". Why am I not with God? I ask myself that question calmly, and simply. Why am I hiding? The first question I will answer by stating I am with God. But then here is the world. It seems so real, though we never stop to ask, "What is real? What does real mean, and how did we get a concept of real?

"I do not know the thing that I am."--ACIM. We think that if we "go back" to our true Self, that our little self is lost, and that fear of being lost, by being absorbed into one gigantic gestalt, we lose our individuality. But we do not know the thing we are, so how could we possibly know what individuality means? We have but to remember that the separation never really happened. That is why nothing, including our individuality, can be lost. How does something that never was become lost?

The second question, "Why am I hiding?"I answer by becoming still. I look calmly into my mind, and perceive another Self. That other Self is us! Someone has asked, regarding the fall into separation, "How could the impossible happen?" The answer is, it didn't.

It did not happen. This is a dream. There is no world. We really are one perfect unlimited Self. We only perceive ourselves as being apart from it. We are it! There isn't God plus you and me and the fence post. There isn't God plus Pearl Harbor, or the Alamo, or 9/11. There is God. All attack is self-attack. Attack is a cry for help. We cry for help because we do not know the thing we are. Do you see?

I look at the world, realize I am doing this. The world I see is a direct reflection of my thought. I have proven this to myself over and over. I need not defend myself against myself. I am free.
