[‘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.
Yet is his wholeness 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.
It is essential to use the idea if anyone seems to cause an adverse reaction in you. Offer him the blessing of your holiness immediately, that you may learn to keep it in your own awareness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 37, W-pI.37.1;2:5-3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 37 Insights.)
Everything we see in the world is a projection that represents what we believe about ourselves. When we believe we are separate, we perceive others as different from us. Seeing differences means that others can have something we don’t have which we may want to have or avoid. This way of seeing fosters fear and guilt.
But there is another way of seeing. When we see through the truth in us, through our wholeness, we see the truth in everyone. Because the truth is one, there is no sense of differences, no sense of having or not having what others have. There is confidence that in our wholeness, we join with the wholeness of our brothers, and together we remember that we are the Son of God. We are Love and nothing else. Fear and guilt are replaced by the vision of Love and innocence. Our function is to see through the loving eyes of wholeness.
