My holiness blesses the world.
This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the world, or why you are here. ²Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. ³Thus are you and the world blessed together. ⁴No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. ⁵It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. ⁶And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God.”
⁵Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness through your vision. ⁶Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. ⁷Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.
Your holiness is the salvation of the world. ²It 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.
…close your eyes and apply the idea to any person who occurs to you, using his name and saying:
⁶My holiness blesses you, [name].
…³It is essential to use the idea if anyone seems to cause an adverse reaction in you. ⁴Offer him the blessing of your holiness immediately, that you may learn to keep it in your own awareness. (A Course in Miracles, W-37.1;2:5–3:2;4:5-6;6:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 37 Insights.)
When we look at the world through the body’s eyes, we are seeing through the ego’s filter. It only allows us to see its illusions of separation. We need to learn to see the world with the vision of holiness. This is how we bless the world.
Holiness sees only Itself because it is whole and all encompassing. It is the Reality we share with God. Holiness does not see the unreal — the ego’s illusions of separate identities. We bless the world by being true to our Self. This is our only calling in the world that has meaning.
Today will be a day of peace and happiness to the degree that we see our holiness in all things.
