[“My holiness blesses the world”] contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the world, or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God.
His wholeness [is] restored to his awareness through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.
Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all things blessed along with you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 37, W-pI.37.1;2:5-3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 37 Insights.)
Our true Self is holy because It is the oneness of Love. Our holy vision sees only Love everywhere, united with Itself. This vision unifies because it overlooks the images of separation in the world. As we look upon our brother with the holy vision of Love, we see the truth in him and remind ourselves of the truth in us. This is how we bless the world and ourselves simultaneously.
If we wish a brother behaved differently, said different things or looked different, we are not seeing him with holy vision. This wish denies our own holiness and withholds our brother’s birthright as Love’s Creation. Today we practice welcoming Love’s vision to help us see the oneness of Love everywhere and overlook the images of separation in the world. This is how we bless the world and ourselves.
