Now would I be as God created me.
Perfect.
Bulls-eye.
Today I will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory, and allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation which I hear as God my Father speaks to me.
Amazing.
I love the constant reminders of these lessons, and the simple instructions that are given to me to practice.
“Christ is my eyes today, and He the ears that listen to the Voice for God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son, and my true Self as well. Amen.”

I have something I am afraid to say: but am going to say anyway: The idea of Jesus feels a little weird to me. I deliberately choose the word weird because it’s a word that shows a lack of maturity, a kind of geeky word a teenager would use and I know there are several parts of me that are immature

Last year I was in a progressive, Christian church where communion is open to everyone no matter what. I have never been of any religion and I went to school for a few years in a private Christian school where if you were not a born again Christian you were going to hell. I have never had communion.
So anyway, when the minister at this progressive Christian church invited everyone to taste the blood of Christ in the wine and the flesh of Christ in the bread, I felt completely overwhelmed. I just couldn’t do it.
Later, in her private office downstairs, I asked her about communion and what it means and I can’t remember what she said exactly except that the general gist of it was that when you took communion you were invting Christ to become one with you. So she looked at me — we were the only two in the room – and she asked me if I wanted to have communion right then and there. In that moment, I felt like I was going to start bawling and never, never stop. So I kind of bolted.
I don’t know if I know even, what I’m asking. I feel The Course moving through me, but I feel stuck about the Jesus part.
Thank you for any help you might be able to offer on this.

I suggest you read Section 5 in the Clarification of Terms “Jesus-Christ”.
Jesus was just an ordinary man who came to know himself and to remember God. Just like you. Just like me. There’s nothing special about him. He was just someone who went the distance. Just like you. Just like me. He remembered the truth about himself, and this made him know the truth about everyone & everything and thus he became identified with Christ. Just like you. Just like me.
