ACIM Lesson 38 2025

My Contemplation of Lesson 38

There is nothing my holiness cannot do.

I was pretty disappointed when I did this lesson for the first time. I had a lot of plans for my holiness. It didn’t win the lottery for me or change the circumstances of my life to any degree. What it did for me was to plant a seed that began to grow.

I now understand what it means to bless the world with my holiness. As I have learned to shift my awareness from the split mind to the holy mind, I have blessed the world. I have blessed my story and my self, as well as blessed many others. This has shown up in many ways. But it is still erratic because I have not yet learned to stay in my right mind all the time.

Just last night, I read something on Facebook that broke my heart. When I am in my right mind, I am not affected by the world in that way. But, as Lloyd Lapp said, “To fight any part of the dream makes you part of the dream.” And that is what happened. I knew what was going on, and I reminded myself that “my holiness blesses the world.” But it seemed like a sham to me.

This morning, I said hello to Brother Jesus, and, with a smile, assured him I was back on my horse again. It was like yesterday never happened. This is because the first time doing these lessons, that seed was planted, and it has continued to grow and blossom. It hasn’t reached its full potential yet, but it will.

Jesus is showing us today what that full potential looks like. Does it inspire you, motivate you, or scare you? In the beginning, I completely misunderstood who he was talking to. I was still mostly identified with my image, Myron. She is not real, and she is not me. Jesus is talking to us, to who we truly are, the Sons of God. He is reminding us of our true nature and perhaps enticing us to step into that truth. And we can, you know. We will. So let us spend the day in practice, reminding ourselves frequently that there is nothing our holiness cannot do.

5. This is God’s Final Judgment: “<em>You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. ²Therefore awaken and return to Me. ³I am your Father and you are My Son.”</em> (ACIM, W-pII.10.5:1-3)
