“I am the holy Son of God Himself.”
Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the world. And
here as well is all the world released. You do not see what you have
done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God.
What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows, punitive
and wild, lacking all reason, blind, insane and sad?
What have you done that this should be your world? What have
you done that this is what you see? Deny your own identity and this
is what remains. You look on chaos and proclaim it as yourself. There
is no sight that fails to witness this to you. There is no sound that
does not speak of frailty within you and without; no breath you draw
that does not seem to bring you nearer death; no hope you hold but
will dissolve in tears.
Deny your own identity and you will not escape the madness
which induced this weird, unnatural and ghostly thought which
mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own identity
and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a tiny particle of
dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own identity
and look on evil, sin and death. And watch despair snatch from your
fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but the wish to die.
Yet what is it except a game you play in which identity can be
denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly
to believe. In this one thought is everything set free. In this one truth
are all illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be
forever part of everything; the central core of its existence and its
guarantee of immortality.
But let today’s idea find a place among your thoughts, and you
have risen far above the world and all the worldly thoughts that hold
it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape you will return
and set it free. For he who can accept his true identity is truly saved.
And his salvation is the gift he gives to everyone in gratitude to Him
Who pointed out the way to happiness that changed his whole
perception of the world.
One holy thought like this and you are free; you are the holy
Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought you learn as well
that you have freed the world. You have no need to use it cruelly and
then perceive this savage need in it. You set it free of your
imprisonment. You will not see a devastating image of yourself
walking the world in terror, with the world twisting in agony
because your fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart.
Be glad today how very easily is hell undone. You need but tell
yourself:
“I am the holy Son of God Himself.
I cannot suffer; cannot be in pain;
I cannot lose, nor can I fail to do
All that salvation asks.”
And in that thought is everything you look on wholly changed.
A miracle has lighted up all dark and ancient caverns where the
rites of death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold
upon the world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the
lost, to save the helpless and to give the world the gift of his
forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God’s
Son has come again at last to set it free?
You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes
and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear
this: All power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that
you cannot do. You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully
tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when
you accord it mercy will its mercy shine on you.
Then let the Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his
holy eyes return again to bless the world he made. In error it began.
But it will end in the reflection of his holiness. And he will sleep no
more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your glory is the
light that saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look
about the world and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing
to bring your weary brothers rest?
They must await your own release. They stay in chains till you
are free. They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find it for
yourself. They suffer pain until you have denied its hold on you. They
die till you accept your own Eternal Life. You are the holy Son of
God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free. Remember
this and earth and Heaven are one.
