Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me I have remained. Where You established me I still abide, and all Your attributes abide in me, because it is Your Will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth will disappear, and separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God.
Let us today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy Will.
✨ Summary & practice
You are forever an Effect of God, this is your eternal security.
You were created in the Spirit of God, a holy Thought that has never left its home. You are forever the Effect of God, and He is forever your Cause. As He created you, you have remained. Where He established you, you still abide. All His attributes remain in you, because it is His Will to have a Son so like His Cause that Cause and Effect are indistinguishable.
The liberating truth of this lesson is that you are not an independent cause, self-created. You are the Effect of God. As an Effect, you share the nature of your Cause: love, perfection, eternity. Recognizing this dissolves the ego’s pride that claims to have made itself. But it also dissolves guilt: if you are the Effect of God, you are not responsible for your creation. You are perfect because your Cause is perfect. You do not need to make yourself; you need only recognize yourself.
This lesson is the metaphysical foundation of all teaching. Previous lessons have spoken of your identity, your innocence, your power. Here, you understand why: you are the Effect of God. Not a distant or degraded effect, but a direct and perfect one. Cause and Effect are one. By recognizing this, you regain the power to create as God creates, for the Effect shares the power of the Cause.
To practice this lesson, repeat several times today: « I am forever an Effect of God. » When you feel insecurity, inadequacy, or guilt, remember: if you are the Effect of God, you cannot be anything but perfect. You are not an accident; you are a holy Thought. You do not need to prove your worth; it is given by your Cause. Let this certainty dwell in you. Throughout the day, rest in this truth.
You are the perfect Effect of a perfect Cause. Rest in this truth, and let peace fill you.
