The decision is to accept ourselves as God created us. Refusal to accept ourselves could make the question seem to be sincere. Uncertainty about what we must be is self-deception. It is for this denial that we need to Atone. Our denial/refusal made no change in what we are. Though we have split our minds in half into what knows and does not know the truth.
Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt ourselves, and be unsure of what we really are. This is the depth of madness. Yet it is the universal question of the world. What does this mean except the world is mad?
Nothing the world believe is true. For what we are are certain. It is set forever in the holy Mind of God, and in our own. We have a purpose here. Do not fail our brothers, or we fail ourselves. Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are a part of us, and we are part of them.
Accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about ourselves, and go our way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. from "Underneath the Mango Tree." by BID
