I am as God created me.
This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From
time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It will
mean far more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are
the words God gave in answer to the world you made. By them it
disappears, and all things seen within its misty clouds and vaporous
illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they come from God.
Here is the Word by which the Son became his Father's happiness, His Love
and His completion. Here creation is proclaimed, and honored as it is. There
is no dream these words will not dispel; no thought of sin and no illusion
which the dream contains that will not fade away before their might. They
are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the world. The dead awake
in answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound will never look
on death.
Holy indeed is he who makes these words his own; arising with them in his
mind, recalling them throughout the day, at night bringing them with him as
he goes to sleep. His dreams are happy and his rest secure, his safety certain
and his body healed, because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before
him always. He will save the world, because he gives the world what he
receives each time he practices the words of truth.
Today we practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need
no thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them.
So wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places all
His gifts and all His Love, to be distributed to all the world, increased in
giving; kept complete because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn
to think with God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by salvaging your
mind.
We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now accept.
With this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for who could
cherish sin when holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could
despair when perfect joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and
misery, all sense of loss, and for complete escape from sin and guilt?
And who would not be brother to you now; you, his redeemer and his
savior. Who could fail to welcome you into his heart with loving invitation,
eager to unite with one like him in holiness? You are as God created you.
These words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come
today to bless the world. For you have recognized the Son of God, and in
that recognition is the world's.
