What Is My True Purpose?

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. (ACIM W-pI.37.1:2-6,3:1-2)

My true purpose is to accept the truth from Holy Spirit and be willing to let go of the ego’s lies. This is what A Course in Miracles calls forgiveness. As I am willing to forgive, the Holy Spirit does His part by helping me see truly. My true Identity and my brother’s true Identity are one. Letting this truth return to my mind is my practice for today.

Because Love created me like Itself, there is really only one thing I can do — extend Love. That is my true function. The reflection of that purpose in the dream of separation is forgiveness. That means my purpose is to see past all the images and forms of the world to the Love that is there. That is why an early workbook exercise tells us that God is in everything we see.

As I go through my day, my body’s eyes will show me myriad images. With the Holy Spirit’s help, I will let go of all the meanings I have given those images and see past them to the oneness of Love.
