Are you happy with what you believe you are in this world? Are you content with what separation gives you? We may resign ourselves to littleness and lack, but it is not characteristic of our true nature. We are One with God, our Source. Would we call Source or God “little”? The Course asks us to be not content with littleness. When we strive for anything in this world in the belief that it will bring us peace, we are belittling ourselves and blinding ourselves to glory. That would be the glory within our Oneness. Each time we choose to believe ourselves little, lacking, less than whole, we deny who we really are. We deny our wholeness, our limitlessness and our holiness. We deny who we really are and block our awareness of peace and love which dwell within us. Every time we choose to deny who we really are we make an evaluation of ourselves. And so if we evaluate ourselves lacking and little, we see ourselves lacking and little. The world around us thus reflects the choice we have made.
It is essential that we accept the fact gladly, that there is no form of littleness that can ever content us. We are free to try as many forms of littleness as we wish, but all we will be doing is to delay our homecoming. For we will be content only in magnitude, which is our home. And peace and love are in that home. The choice is our responsibility. We cannot be forced to be aware of who we really are, for we are created with free will, even to deny the awareness of who we really are.
There is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson may seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and is but a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself you will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness. T-15.III.3.1-5
There is no doubt about what our function is for Spirit within us knows. And there is no doubt about the magnitude of our function for it reaches us through Spirit from Magnitude itself. There is no question of who we really are if we will look within ad allow Spirit to bring it to our awareness. We need not strive for it for we already have it. We already are who we really are. But we need to be vigilant for the thoughts of littleness that creep into our minds. To hold our magnitude in perfect awareness in a world of littleness is a task the little cannot undertake. Yet it is asked of us, in tribute to our magnitude and not our littleness. Nor is it asked of us alone. The power of the One will support every effort we make on behalf of our true Self in Oneness.
Be vigilant for the thoughts of littleness that creep unbidden into your mind. Reach to the Spirit within for guidance to the awareness of the magnitude of who you really are in Oneness. This is where we realize the peace, love and joy that are already ours. Let go all your doubts and move into the awareness of who you really are and always have been. Be who you really are.
