Welcome to Active Meditation in Miracle Lesson 152.
The power decision is my own,
Has not made of this you can be sure.
What can God know of the ephemeral,
The sinful and the guilty?
What can God know of the afraid,
The suffering and the lonely?
What can God know of the mind that lives within a body that must die?
You accuse God of insanity,
To think that God made a world where such things seem to have reality.
God is not mad,
Yet only madness makes a world like this.
Nothing occurs but represents your wish.
Nothing is omitted that you choose.
Here is your world,
Complete in all details.
Here is your whole reality.
It is only here salvation is.
So say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
The power of decision is my own.
Ponder on that.
The power of decision is my own.
As God created you,
You must remain unchangeable.
Transitory states by definition must remain false.
Transitory states include all shifts in feeling,
All alterations in conditions of the body.
Transitory states include all modifications of the mind,
All changes in awareness and all responses.
Today,
All self-concepts have been laid aside.
All self-concepts have been recognized as false.
The arrogance of our self-concepts has been perceived.
We lay aside the arrogance that says we are sinners.
We lay aside the arrogance which says we are guilty and afraid.
We lay aside the arrogance that says we are ashamed of what we are.
Only the ego can be arrogant.
Today,
We think of truth alone,
Spending a few minutes practicing the ways of truth,
Encouraging our frightened minds.
Now say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
We wait in silence,
Giving up all self-deception.
We humbly ask that our higher self be revealed to us.
Our higher self,
Who never left,
Will come again into our awareness,
Grateful to restore our home to God as it was meant to be.
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
I'll be quiet while we wait in silence for our higher self,
For God,
Who will substitute peace for all your frantic thoughts.
God will substitute truth for self-deception.
God will substitute your higher self for the illusions of your ego.
In patience,
We wait for God throughout the day.
Powerfully,
Invite God into your life with the words which the day began.
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
Concluding the day with this same invitation to your higher self.
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what my higher self created me to be.
God's voice will answer,
For your higher self speaks for God.
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
The power of decision is my own.
This day,
I will accept myself as what God's will created me to be.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
