One Self

"The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same... one in seeing, one in knowing, and one in loving." -- Meister Eckhart

"I am one Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook 95, 11:2

How do you see yourself? Take a moment and make a list of the attributes that pop into your mind. How do you see your family? How do you see your neighbors, and your friends? How do you see your 'enemies', those pesky people who look at the world so differently than you do? How do you see your pets? How do you see the wounded and the afflicted? How do you see the evil and the power-hungry? Take the time to do some very honest soul-searching here. How do you see us all? For "God has not many Sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be given less?" (ACIM; Chapter 29, Section VIII, 9:1-2)

This is worth your time and diligence. Expose the habitual projections, the hidden arrogance and specialness, the separating and segmenting that our judgments attempt day after day. Write it all down. Look at it in the light. Then remember that, "The Holy Spirit is not delayed by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the Truth, and nothing else is true." (ACIM; Workbook 95, 8:1-2, 10:1-3)

The remembering of Self as one has holographic effects in the dream. Every image in the dream is just that... an image held in mind and thought. When you waken from a dream, it vanishes. When you remain in a dream, but are Awake in the dream, the dream reflects your Awakened Awareness. This is omni-directional, since past and future are simply illusory extensions of present consciousness in the dream.

How do you see yourself now? Look at your written descriptions of how you see self and the world. ALL of it is how you see your self now. But as you begin to "Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts," you begin to see your self as "complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the Truth about your Self." (ACIM; Workbook 95, 13:3, 12:3)

"You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy Truth in you. Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook 95, 14:1-2
