"Let me not bind Your Child with laws I made". This lesson emphasizes our tendency to create limiting laws and rules that we impose on ourselves and others, obscuring our true nature as God's Child. It reminds us that we are not bound by the laws we have made to govern the body or the physical world, as these are merely illusions. The lesson encourages us to recognize that our true self is free, unchangeable and knows only the law of love. By releasing these self-imposed limitations, we can begin to see ourselves and others as God created us - pure, holy, and unbound by the constraints of the ego.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 277 Let me not bind your son with laws I made.

Your children are free,

My father.

Let me not imagine I have bound your children with the laws I made to rule the body.

Father,

Your children are not subject to any laws I made,

By which I try to make the body more secure.

Father,

We are not changed by what is changeable.

We are not slave to any laws of time.

Father,

We are as you created us,

Because we know no law except the law.

Let us not worship idols.

Let us not believe in any law that idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the children of God.

We are not bound except by our beliefs,

Yet what we are is far beyond our faith in slavery or in freedom.

We are free because we are our Father's children.

We cannot be bound unless God's truth can lie,

And God can will that he deceive himself.

Father,

Let me not bind your children with laws I made.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
