Our Purpose Is to Bless the World

[‘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.

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.

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;3;6:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 37 Insights.)

The ego tries to convince us that we are anything but holy. It tells us that claiming we are holy is arrogant. This is because the ego needs us to believe we are guilty and unworthy in order to maintain its status as our guide in the world.

Actually it is the ego that is arrogant when it denies the truth that we were created holy as God’s one Son. Our purpose in the world is to remember that we were created holy and all that is real is holy, along with us. In our acceptance of our shared holiness, we recognize that we remain whole, united as God’s one Son.

The practice of sharing Holy Spirit’s vision helps us remember our own wholeness. In this remembering we are blessed and we bless our brothers by seeing them whole. This vision comes in our mind, not through the body’s eyes, for they were made to see only limitation. Our mind’s eye sees only the one Mind, where we live and have our being eternally.

Holy Spirit, help us see as you see, for we would bless the world.
