I am my own certainty!

There is nothing like being certain about who I am. That is the only thing no one can ever take away from me. That is the spring board into the total freedom of my mind. “Don’t let the world tell you who you are” is my teachers favorite sentence for me. And I thought I got it, and then again I thought I got it, but now I think that I am starting to get it. Spiritual awakening is nothing that can be understood with a conceptual mind. It is occurring to you in whatever from you allow it to occur. But it is happening. Every moment is the enfoldment of the most precious moment, that has been given me to be certain. That moment is the moment of healing my mind from all the guilt, fear, pride and wrong perception I put out there. Out there to avoid the emptiness inside. This moment has been given me to fill this emptiness with light. Light is certainty of self. I am that light.
I want to share Lesson 50 from A Course In Miracles with you. This Lesson just blows me away.
“Here is the answer to every problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, “protective” clothing, “influence,” “prestige,” being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness which you endow with magical powers. All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego.

Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.

Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.

Twice today, morning and evening, let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting-place where your Father has placed you forever.”
