Let me remember that my goal is God.
Let us remember that the toys and trinkets of the ego include sorrow, guilt, projection, fear and anger. Through the use of these weapons the ego attempts to continue to hide the truth about yourself from your awareness. There are many forms of fear but in the end there is only one truth. You are not who you think you are and the other person is not who you think he or she is.
You are not a good father nor a bad father. You are not a good mother nor a bad mother. You are not an alcoholic, a drug addict, an overeater, nor a poor wretched soul. These beliefs and many more the ego has about you and others are simply not true. There is only love. The true essence of every person and being you see within the world is radiant love. Love created you exactly like Itself and nothing else is true.

******************
Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
