ACIM Lesson 252 Contemplation

"The Child (Son) of God is my Identity."
This lesson emphasizes that our true Identity is far greater and holier than we can conceive. It encourages us to recognize that our Higher Self has a "shimmering and perfect purity" that surpasses any light we have ever seen. The lesson teaches that by acknowledging this true Identity in ourselves, we simultaneously recognize it in others, seeing the beauty and holiness in everyone. It concludes with a prayer asking God to reveal this true Self to us, affirming that knowing our Higher Self as Love is the path to Heaven and peace.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES LESSON 252 THE CHILD OF GOD IS MY IDENTITY.

My higher self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive.

The shimmering and perfect purity of my higher self is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon.

The love of my higher self is limitless with an intensity that holds all things within it in the calm,

Quiet certainty.

The strength of my higher self comes not from burning impulses which move the world,

But from the boundless love of God Himself.

How far beyond this world my higher self must be,

And yet how near to me and how close to God my higher self is.

Father,

You know my true identity.

Reveal it now to me,

Who am Your child,

That I may awaken to the truth in You,

And know that heaven is restored to me.

Father,

You know my true identity.

Reveal it to me now,

As I am Your child.

So that I may awaken to the truth in You.
