ACIM Lesson #260
“Let me remember God created me.”
ACIM Prayer:“Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.”
“Now is our Source remembered, and Therein we find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we, because our Source can know no sin. And we who are His Sons are like each other, and alike to Him.”
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Infinite Mind creates and governs all, from the mental molecule to infinity. This divine Principle of all expresses Science and art throughout His creation, and the immortality of man and the universe. Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear from the nature of its inexhaustible source. Mortal sense inverts this appearing and calls ideas material. Thus misinterpreted, the divine idea seems to fall to the level of a human or material belief, called mortal man. But the seed is in itself, only as the divine Mind is All and reproduces all--as Mind is the multiplier, and Mind's infinite idea, man and the universe, is the product. The only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it. Mind is the Soul of all. Mind is Life, Truth, and Love which governs all.”

[Marsha's thoughts]
In today's remembering of our true creation, I think of reminders of the Truth of our Being. Many moments of perfect peace and joy stand out in memory, and it's easy to think replicating them is what this study is all about. And maybe it is! But that's beside the point. As there is only one cause, God, the effects we experience can only be from this original Cause. Each experience we have is individual, as this Cause is infinite. Today I will remember not to limit God through my expectations. I know people who feel they must meditate for hours a day in order to feel the presence of God. Some may think they can only have this experience in a certain place. One of my favorite books is "Practicing the Presence" by Joel Goldsmith. A central point of his writing is that the only way to experience true Being as the image and likeness of God is through silent communion. This listening Within doesn't need to be long, but it does need to be thorough. Through that thoroughness, it eventually becomes perpetual. And so today I surrender thoroughly and experience what that yielding brings.
