Accepting Our Holiness

Your holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt, and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world, and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know unholiness. Can it be He does not know His Son? (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 39, W-pI.39.4. See also ACIM Lesson 39 Insights.)

We are holy because we are innocent. We were created by the extension of God’s Love and innocence is an attribute of God’s Love.

The world is the projection of the idea of separating from Love. This denial of Love automatically brings with it the denial of innocence, which is guilt. When we judge anyone, we are denying their innocence. At the same time we are denying our own innocence.

To get out of the endless cycle of projection and guilt we need to accept the truth that we remain as Love created us. We share Love’s holiness. Because only Love is real, only our holiness is true.

As we let the Holy Spirit show us the holiness in our brother, we learn of the holiness in us. This is why forgiveness is the key to freedom from guilt and fear. We can help ourselves forgive whenever our peace is disturbed by reminding ourselves that we were created holy by Holiness Itself. The disturbing appearance cannot be real and so we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to let go of the false image. As we do this, our holiness brings salvation to the world.
