Together, We Light the Way

Lesson 38 2026

There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
2025
I was pretty disappointed when I did this lesson 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 that 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: “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.” (ACIM, W-pII.10.5:1-3)

1. Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. ²It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind. ³Your holiness is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator.
2. Through your holiness the power of God is made manifest. ²Through your holiness the power of God is made available. ³And there is nothing the power of God cannot do. ⁴Your holiness, then, can remove all pain, can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. ⁵It can do so in connection with yourself and with anyone else. ⁶It is equal in its power to help anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone.
3. If you are holy, so is everything God created. ²You are holy because all things He created are holy. ³And all things He created are holy because you are. ⁴In today’s exercises, we will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties or suffering in any form that you happen to think of, in yourself or in someone else. ⁵We will make no distinctions because there are no distinctions. (ACIM, W-38)
Yesterday, in a writing I did from the Circle of Atonement in the Text, I talked about my son, who has been sick. Here is what I wrote about him.
Shortly before I began this particular writing, I got a text from my son. He has a particularly bad case of flu but cannot just sit things out while he heals. He had to drive quite a way to get his medicine. He can’t talk because of his sickness, and his head feels like it is going to explode. It hurts so much. On top of all that, he can’t work and his bills are all way behind, and he doesn’t have money for food. Then he had a blowout, and his new jack wasn’t working. Lord, have mercy!
I felt really bad for him and wanted to help, but there wasn’t much I could do in this situation. My focus yesterday was seeing the situation differently, staying in the Circle of Atonement with Jesus, seeing only innocence. And that was helpful to us both, but today, I see another way that I can help him and anyone, and how I can help any situation. I can remember that there is nothing my holiness cannot do. It can solve all problems in connection with anyone.
To use this power, I first establish that it is not the character Myron, the ego self, that is doing it. It is my Self, and it is my willingness to accept that in truth, I am God’s Son. As His Son I have the right to make God’s power manifest in the world.
And to be honest, I must overcome the ego tendency to see myself as Myron, frail and fallible. I look at the story of Myron, and she exhibits proof that she is both of those and has done so nearly all of her life.
But I am also far more open to the truth now than I have ever been. The lessons are designed to bring me to this truth, and this year they have penetrated further into my mind than has happened in the past. My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy. It is with this authority that I (my holiness) reverse the laws of the world that say I cannot change the course of an illness; that I cannot change someone else. There is nothing that my holiness cannot do.
So this morning, I have dared to step out of my role as Myron, as Toby’s mom, as a body in a world of pain and suffering. I accept my truth fully if only for this purpose, and my holiness blesses both of us, undoing the belief in sickness without exception. It establishes the truth in the place of the ego’s experience of suffering. It establishes the truth of our access to this power because what I can do, we all can do.
The ego is pretty actively resisting this, insisting I am being arrogant and ridiculous. But who am I going to believe, the ego or Jesus? I choose Jesus.
Afterward, will I slip back into the confines of the image of Myron? Well, this movement into my holiness is a new thing, or at least a rare thing, so probably I will revert to habit. But now I know that this is possible, that I can dare to accept my holiness. I can dare to say this aloud to others with only a twinge of fear that my holiness overrides. So who knows what will happen next?
⁵In the situation involving my son, in which I see myself, there is nothing that my holiness cannot do.
⁶In the situation involving my son, in which he sees himself, there is nothing my holiness cannot do.
³There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.
