We are Holy. We are created holy and unchangeable. We live in the eternal Oneness of our Creator. No shadow can diminish this truth about us. Only our own choice to believe something less about ourselves draws us into the seeming darkness that hides our true essence form our awareness.
In this world you can become a spotless mirror, in which the Holiness of your Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect Heaven here. T-14.IX.5.1-2
Nothing else can be reflected in that mirror. If we place barriers on the mirror, cover the mirror with veils, or cloud the mirror with fog, we dim the mirror that reflects the light of our soul, our true essence. The temporal world can reflect Heaven or hell, Holiness or unholiness, Love or hate, Peace or upset. When we simply leave the mirror clean and clear of all images of hidden darkness we have drawn upon it, we will see the light of holiness within us shine clearly in our own mind and for all the world to see.
Clear reflections can only be seen in light. When we make darkness by hiding our own light behind the obstacles of our mistaken beliefs about who we are, the reality of our true nature is obscured and appears to shift from one perception to another, making the world we see confusing and insecure. The reflection of our holiness needs no interpretation. It is clear. Clean the mirror, and the message that shines forth from what the mirror holds out for everyone to see, no one can fail to understand. It is the message that Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in each one. Each one recognizes it because they have been taught their need for it, but know not where to look to find it. Let each one, then, see it in you and share it with you. In this are we all healed.
Could you but realize for a single instant the power of healing that the reflection of the One, shining in you, can bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the world. The image of holiness that shines in your mind is not obscure, and will not change. The meaning to those who look upon the image of the holiness that shines in your mind is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. All bring their different problems to the healing light of the holiness you allow to shine in your mind, and all their problems find but healing there. T-14.IX.7.1-4
The Course tells us we are the light of the world. The song tells us to let our light shine. Our holiness is this light. It is our true nature and our true essence. Holiness’ one response is healing, without regard to what is brought to its light. We are ready at last for Heaven where holiness is not a reflection, but rather the actual condition of the reality that was reflected here. We journey back to the awareness of who we really are by reflecting the truth that we really are. This is the salvation the Course offers us. It is our choice when we choose what we will inevitably choose. Allow the mirror of your soul to reflect the real – the holiness – within you that you are.
