Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? There is no doubt that is not rooted here.There is no question but reflects this one.There is no conflict that does not entail the single simple question,â??what am I?â?? Yet who could ask this question except one who has refused to recognize himself? Only refusal to accept yourself could make the question seem to be sincere.The only thing that can be surely known by any living thing is what it is.

It is for this denial that you need Atonement.Your denial made no change in what you are. But you have split your mind into what knows and does not know the truth.You are yourself.There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt it. But you do not ask what part of you can really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a part of you that asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the answer.Were it part of you, certainty would be impossible. Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are. This is the depth of
