Lesson, 61 - Revived '16 - I am the light of the world - www.IamACIM.Com - a podcast by therapyofthesoul

â?? â?? â?? This HD program and many others, are available for free @ www.OpenandClear.com â?? â?? â?? lesson 61 â??I am the light of the world.â?? Who is the light of the world except Godâ??s Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of arrogance, or of self-deception. It does not describe the self-concept you have made. It does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were created by God. It simply states the truth. To the ego, todayâ??s idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does not understand humility, mistaking it for self- debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation, and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the light of the world, if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego. True humility requires that you accept todayâ??s idea because it is Godâ??s Voice which tells you it is true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved, and an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to save others. You will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer to all illusions, and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth, and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose. As many practice periods as possible should be undertaken today, although each one need not exceed a minute or two. They should begin with telling yourself: â??I am the light of the world.That is my only function. That is why I am here.â?? Then think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind wanders
