We have been looking at our misplaced desire for “specialness” in this chapter. We have learned that the desire for “specialness” is an egoic desire to see ourselves better than others, especially those we are walking with right now. We become judgmental. We attack or defend to preserve our “specialness.” We believe we are vulnerable. We believe we are failing and so believe we are in danger of being “less than” or inadequate. Have I said enough “bad” things yet? Have I succeeded in dissing myself and others? These ae the kind of thoughts we think when we align our minds with our egoic thought system – our separated mind. We could even call this our “specialness” mind. All these ideas could not be further from the truth of who and what we are. We are the holy creations of Source, forever holy and changeless. And, therefore, holy and changeless ourselves. How do we really see ourselves? Look at the one you are walking with at this moment. What do you see? Do you see their holiness and changelessness? What you see in them is what you believe about yourself, whether right or mistaken.
The memory of Source shines not alone. What is within the one you walk with still contains all of creation, everything created and creating, born and unborn as yet, still in the future or apparently gone by. What is in them is changeless, and your changelessness is recognized in its acknowledgment. The holiness in you belongs to them. And by your seeing it in them, returns to you. All of the tribute you have given specialness belongs to them, and thus returns to you. All of the love and care, the strong protection, the thought by day and night, the deep concern, the powerful conviction this is you, belong to them. Nothing you gave to specialness but is their due. And nothing due them is not due to you. T-24.VII.2:1-9
We cannot know who we really are when we have placed our value in “specialness.” Our belief in “specialness” blocks our awareness of our true holiness, our wholeness and our limitlessness. So, the one we walk with right now is in our life to show us our holiness. Not that “they” correct our vision, but we allow ourselves to see our holiness in them reflected back to us. We allow our eyes to be opened to see reality and eternity. Our eternal holiness and wholeness are there where Source created it in us. It had never gone away. It has never been corrupted or banished. We blocked it from our awareness by our own belief in specialness and separation. Do not seek to make your specialness the truth, for if it were you would indeed be lost. Rather, be thankful you can see the holiness of the one you walk with now because it is the truth. And what is true in them must be as true in you because we are all one..
Source keeps what Source created safe. You cannot touch it with the false ideas you made, because it was created not by you. Let not your foolish fancies frighten you. What is immortal cannot be attacked; what is but temporal has no effect. Only the purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that is true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose, and is means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in its holiness, and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, setting another light in Heaven, where your creations recognize a gift from you, a sign that you have not forgotten them. T-24.VII.5:1-9
Are you unsure of the reality of what you see? The test of everything we see on earth is simply this; “What is it for?” The answer makes it what it is for you. Look at this answer. Does it ring true? Ask Spirit for guidance if you are unsure. Everything you need is already within you. In Heaven, means and end are one. This is the state of true creation, not found in time, but in eternity. This is not describable to anyone aligned with separation and specialness. This cannot be learned. We must go past learning to the Given and again make a holy home for our creations to make it understood.
Release your attachment to “specialness.” Open your eyes and see the one you walk with now in the light of their holiness and see your holiness reflected there to you. This is all the proof you need of who you really are. This is where you return to the awareness of who you really are – whole, holy, complete and limitless. Step into the awareness of love, peace and freedom which you never ever left behind.
