ACIM T-14.IX The Reflection of Holiness

abstract background withe sea sunriseJune 7, 2016

We are Holy. There is no exception. There is no changing this. We cannot lose or harm our Holiness. This is inherent in our whole being. But we can hide our Holiness from our awareness simply by denying it. For when we deny it we hide it. Our free will permits us to do this, though we cannot change the fact that we are Holy. So what have we done? We have believed that we are unholy and thus hidden our true nature from our awareness. We cannot know we are holy while believing we are unholy. We cannot align our minds with two contradicting beliefs at the same time. We choose to believe truth or illusion. It doesn’t change the truth about us, but it does affect how we see ourselves.

There is a way out of this insanity. Simply bring our mistaken beliefs to truth with the guidance of Spirit. Spirit is within us holding all that we really are ready for our choice to recognize the truth about us. There is no need to prove our holiness for our holiness is truth and truth needs no proving. Truth merely needs recognition. Once we let go of our attachment to the unholiness we believe about ourselves, our holiness rises within our minds and is recognized for the truth it is. There is great joy in the recognition of our holiness. We are whole. We are complete. Peace is within us. All that is good and true about us is waiting patiently beneath the surface of our mistaken beliefs we hold so dear. We needn’t get rid of them. We needn’t do anything to prove them wrong. We simply need to bring it all to truth and allow Spirit to undo what needs undoing and allow what is true to shine brightly in its light.

Truth releases us from the limitations of our mistaken beliefs merely by being truth. Nothing false can remain in the presence of truth. Anything not true simply fades to nothing when brought to the light of truth. This process – the At-One-ment – is so gentle, we need only whisper and its power will come rushing to our aid and support. We cannot fail in this if we will just ask for Spirit’s guidance. We carry this truth within the depths of our being, yet we hide it from ourselves. Let the truth be hidden from ourselves no longer. We still are holy for the Presence that dwells within us is Holiness.

In the temple, Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of the One will take them gently in, and cover all their sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Creator’s Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of life. For the One is life, and they abide in life. Life is as holy as the Holiness by which it was created. The Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for Holiness created life, and leaves not what It created holy as Itself.  T-14.IX.4.1-7

Once we bring our unholiness to Holiness, we feel the joy of Heaven rising within us shining away all doubt about who we really are. Peace wells up within us and we see our own Holiness reflected in all we lay our eyes upon. Now we recognize the Divine being we are and have always been. Open your spiritual eyes and see your Holiness reflected there. This is truth.
