Lesson 229: ”Love, Which created me, is what I am.”

Reframe: I am an expression of love, the essence of who I am.

Suggested Practice: 

From now on: 
One in the morning and one in the evening for however many minutes feels sufficient. Then every hour remember/recite the idea for the day. 

Prayer For today: 
(feel free to swap out the wording to whatever resonates with you best)

“Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from which I came. ²I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. ³My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. ⁴And my mistakes about myself are dreams. ⁵I let them go today. ⁶And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really am.” (ACIM, W-228.2:1-6)

From the PART II Introduction: Read the whole introduction here.

“Words will mean little now. ²We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. ³For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. ⁴The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace. ⁵Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set, and find the end toward which our practicing was always geared.” (ACIM, W-pII.in.1:1-5)

For Lessons 221-230: Forgiveness is the theme. Read the whole article here.
“Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. ²It does not pardon sins and make them real. ³It sees there was no sin. ⁴And in that view are all your sins forgiven. ⁵What is sin, except a false idea about God’s Son? ⁶Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. ⁷What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.” (ACIM, W-pII.1.1:1-7)

Message

From the Lesson:

”I seek my own Identity, and find It in these words: “Love, which created me, is what I am.” ²Now need I seek no more.³Love has prevailed.” (ACIM, W-229.1:1-3)

This Lesson is most welcomed today. For most of the day I’ve felt heavy in my body—not with weight, but with low energy. Not feeling like doing much of anything. Lacking my normal enthusiasm toward my projects. Being reminded that Love created me and that I am Love lifts my spirits.

I find this true with most of the Lessons: whether I’m fully aligned with them or not, being reminded of their truth pulls me from the ego’s control and turns me toward the Love I am. It also reminds me that everyone is Love, regardless of outside appearances.

With today’s Lesson, I’m adopting another ACIM mantra: “I am Love. I am as Love created me.” I’m going to silently repeat it as often as possible and put it on a sticky note for my bathroom mirror. This isn’t a “today only” mantra—this one’s worth remembering every day.

Today wasn’t all uplifting and joyous, but I’m willing to be reminded of my true identity: I am Love.

“Lesson 229 … says it doesn’t matter if you’re a plumber, a sign painter, a candlestick maker, your true, behind-the-scenes identity is love.”
