the first step in eradicating fear

  

    In these moods of haunting aloneness mankind scarcely realized the true meaning of their identity.  Lacking attunement with the Deity they entered into a lesser vibration which, by reason of its shadowed concepts and murky ideas, is not only limited and self-limiting but also full of elements of self-pity.

   Becoming of one accord with the Father, the I AM Presence, is the first step in eradicating fear.  All men and women must recognize that because they have thought wrongly in the past only they can amend their thoughts and think rightly in the present.

  They have thought of the individual as being  creator of universal being--this is but partial truth.  Men must think of themselves as being God-centered rather than ego-centered, and as God-individualized in the I AM Presence as true center of their being.  They must think of themselves as the manifestation of, rather than the originator of, this perfection.
