\u201cThis idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in this world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before I read this lesson this morning, glimmerings were saying to me that I do have something to offer others. I\u2019ve noticed that lately my interactions are improving. I\u2019ve uplifted a friend; shared loving words with classmates; and noticed some wisdom in my papers for class. (Swimming with the flow of Love is not as difficult as I once believed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n My notes from last year, for this lesson, have impressed me. As I noticed the \u2018glimmerings\u2019 this morning, I thought that they were new. But, a big spark of insight shined a year ago. There is more here for me to accept about me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cChild of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful, and the holy. Do not forget this.\u201d<\/em> (T.1.VII.2.1-2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is easier to forget then to think that I have something to offer \u2013 that I can make a difference to another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy holiness blesses the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And, as I realized last year, there is no effort to it. I will just be my true self. I can look upon you with an open heart and ask nothing of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be blessed and free in your true being. Namaste\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour purpose is to see the world through your own holiness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I looked online for and ACIM glossary of terms to get more understanding of what is meant by \u2018holiness\u2019. At ACIM.House, it says of holiness, \u201ca quality of divine innocence and purity\u201d. Also, \u201cHoliness is the fundamental and changeless nature of all God creates\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So innocence is the foundation of myself, others, and all things of this world. If I see my holiness as light, it shines on the people and things I interact with. I could think of reflection as my light shining back \u2026 but that does not seem correct. Hmm\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I believe the lesson is saying that our shining opens others to their shining. I find validation for this in the truth, \u2018you reap what you sow\u2019 meaning the vibrations I put out into this world is what is returned to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThose who see themselves as whole make no demands.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This line brought up the memory of a chapter in James Redfield\u2019s book, Celestine Prophecy\u2019. He described four different personality type we use in our society to pull energy from others. I believe we do this. And, I\u2019ve felt my energy drained by another person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we are whole, in our holiness, we don\u2019t take from another, our interaction can leave them in their own wholeness (which is a rare occurrence). This blesses them to work on their own salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMerely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all things blessed along with you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way we might be offering to another something like \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018You are a Holy Child of God, not here for my use or interpretation of what you are. Be blessed and free in your pure being.\u2019 _\/\\_<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My holiness blesses the world. 2-6-2024 \u201cThis idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in this world.\u201d Before I read this lesson this morning, glimmerings were saying to me that I do have something to offer others.
