I was flipping though A Course In Miracles and ran across Lesson 253. This lesson says; “My Self is ruler of the Universe”.
It is interesting, Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Perhaps it is this sort of acceptance of personal responsibility Lesson 253 is all about. After all, if you take accountability for all you do, do you not control your world? Of course there is always the argument (from when we were all children) “I didn’t do it – they did!” Well, I’ll grant you that we can easily get caught up in the the tornado that someone else creates, but I am still pressed to ask, how did you get anywhere near a tornado, and WHY?!
One could easily say Well, lesson 253 may be true, but how many people are ever going to find that out? Now, this argument holds more water. Why do I say that?; because Lesson 253 spells self with a capitol “S”. In the world of psychology, the Self with a capitol “S”, is the integrated personality; the combination of body, mind and spirit, or in psych terms, the id, ego and super-ego. Few of us live to know our “Self”, but it’s not impossible. On the day that we do know AND love our Self, that will be the day we are the ruler of our Universe.
Just something to look foward to!
