Accepting Our Innate Holiness

My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.

Today’s idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. ²It does, however, describe what vision will show you. ³It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself. ⁴Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it.

You will believe that you are part of where you think you are. ²That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want. ³And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made. ⁴The image is part of this environment. ⁵What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. ⁶This is not vision. ⁷Images cannot see.

…the direction of your fantasies about yourself does not matter.

As often as possible during the day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding the idea in the form stated above to each of them. ²If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat “My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy” to yourself, with closed eyes. (A Course in Miracles, W-35.1:1–2:7;5:3;9. See also ACIM Lesson 35 Insights.)

The key to happiness is to remember Who we are. We were created happy by the Source of happiness. We have not left our Source. So any form of unhappiness must be a false idea of what we are that denies our unity with our Source.

To return to our natural state of happiness we need to remind ourselves frequently that our mind is part of God’s. We share all His attributes, His joy, His peace, His holiness. As we look upon the world today we remind ourselves that the true mind of everyone is part of God’s. We are very holy.
