From ACIM
"ALL THAT IS" s' Name is holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon Its Name is but to call upon your own. A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which they turn for their identity. Your Father’s Name reminds you who you are, even within a world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it. God’s Name can not be heard without response, nor said without an echo in the mind which calls you to remember.
Repeat ITs Name and you acknowledge IT as sole Creator of Reality. And you acknowledge also that you are a part of IT, creating in ITs Name. Repeat ITs Name and call upon your Self, Whose Name is yours. Repeat ITs Name and all the tiny, nameless things on earth slip into right perspective. Those who call upon the Name of God can not mistake the nameless for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of God.
Whether you choose to remember or not, you are God and God is You.
Sit silently and let God's Name become the all-............................encompassing idea which holds your mind completely. Let all thoughts be still except this One. And to all other thoughts respond with This, and see God’s Name replace the thousand little names you gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is One Name for all there is, and all that there will be.
Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from the Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home. You have never left.
This light can not be lost. Why wait to find it in the future, or believe it has been lost already or was never there? It can so easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is not there become ridiculous. Who can deny the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There perception starts and there it ends. It has no source but this.
The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leave a blessing with it which remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone is united as one within the same source. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. And from that quiet place you shall remember that God, you and your brother are one.
