Lesson 61: I am the light of the world.

Lesson 61: I am the light of the world.

“I am the light of the world” is a simple statement of truth, not “the epitome of self-glorification”.

The ego mistakes humility for self-debasement.  But true humility “consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other”.  “It is not humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you.” !!!

Today’s idea is:

  • “a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation”
  • “a positive assertion of your right to be saved”
  • “an acknowledgment of the power that is given you to save others”
  • “it is the perfect answer to all illusions, and therefore to all temptation”
  • “it brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth, and
  • helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose”

Think about “I am the light of the world” as often as possible today.

Tell yourself, “I am the light of the world.  That is my only function.  That is why I am here.”

Begin and end the day with this practice, “I am the light of the world.”

You are building a firm foundation as a bringer of salvation.  “God has built His plan for the salvation of the world on you.”
