Part 1
Undoing the Way We See Things Now
Lesson 58
Review of Lessons 36-40
1. (36) My holiness envelops everything I see.
From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.
2. (37) My holiness blesses the world.
The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness. As I recognize my own holiness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth for everyone to see.
3. (38) There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.
4. (39) My holiness is my salvation.
Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, to recognize my holiness is to recognize my salvation. It is also to recognize the salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. And because I am unafraid, everyone must share in my strength and understanding, which are the gift of God to me and to the world.
5. (40) I am blessed as a Son of God.
Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All good things are mine because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His care for me is infinite and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His Son.[1]
Personal Notes:
My holiness envelopes everything I see. What a wonderful circle of Love, Peace, Joy, Holiness, and Forgiveness God gives us, to give out and circle back to us from Him, through Him, to Him for His Glory and Honor. As I receive and believe in my forgiveness and guiltlessness, I see through my spiritual eyes of Jesus, my holiness is in everything and everyone externally all around me which allows me to walk in my Peace that passes all understanding. When temptation comes to believe illusions and lies of attack, lovelessness, loss, pain, Praise be to my God, my Jesus, my Holy Spirit! For we are all one! My holiness blesses the world I see. This world and this body being symbols of separation from God, is not my prison, but a learning devise, what the enemy meant for our harm, the unlimited power of God’s Holiness in us heals, protects and saves us from all lies and illusion. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid, His perfect Love cast out all fear. Because I am unafraid, everyone must share in my God given strength and understanding, the free Gift of God to me and the world. There is nothing my holiness cannot do. My God is limitless therefore my holiness is unlimited in its power to heal. My holiness is my Salvation and the worlds. I am Blessed as a son of God! This is my claim to all that is Good and only Good. All good things are mine because God intended them for all His sons. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His care for me is infinite and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His Son. I pray for all my brothers, sisters, and myself for continued guidance, wisdom, discernment, protection, and illumination of purpose in The Way, The Truth, The Life in Christ Jesus, Amen. Thank you for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend!
