In the presence of holiness, we can be only holy. Yet we continue to deny our holiness. Holiness is all there is. However, we continue to deny our holiness and the holiness of each other. We become attached to the idea of unholiness and then reinforce it again and again. We perceive the world around us as unholy and cement that idea in our minds, blocking all ideas that seem to contradict it. What if our perception is mistaken? What if our mind has adjusted the appearance of the world around us to make it appear unholy? There’s something to think about.
Who in a holy relationship can long remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful because they see their innocence in it. They did not tell it what it was; they did not make adjustments to fit their orders. They gently questioned it and whispered, “What are you?” And the One Who watches over all perception answered. Take not the judgment of the world as answer to the question, “What am I?” The world believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. T-20.III.6:1-8
Look at the relationships you have chosen – or that have chosen you. Are they holy? If not, they are there in your life to be healed. Our own egoic thought system has adjusted our perception of these relationships to appear unholy. We thus blame, attack or deprive the one in relationship with us in an effort to make them change their behavior or perception. We want them to adjust their sense of “right” to our sense of “right.” The reason we see another as unholy is that our own perception is distorted, not theirs. They need do nothing to heal our relationship. We are the ones who need to decide that we want to perceive our relationship differently. The willingness for healing and change is our responsibility and no one else’s. Are we even a little willing to open ourselves to this possibility?
Seek not to make the One Holy Child of God adjust to their insanity. There is a stranger in them, who wandered carelessly into the home of truth and who will wander off. They came without a purpose, but they will not remain before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered, and you accepted. For there the stranger is made homeless and you are welcome. Ask not this transient stranger, “What am I?” They are the only thing in all the universe that does not know. Yet it is they you ask, and it is to their answer that you would adjust. This one wild thought, fierce in its arrogance, and yet so tiny and so meaningless it slips unnoticed through the universe of truth, becomes your guide. To it you turn to ask the meaning of the universe. And of the one blind thing in all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the One Holy Child of God?” T-20.III.7:1-10
We’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places! The light of truth and knowledge is already within us planted there at our creation. It has never gone away, it has never been corrupted. No sin has ever or could ever blemish our true Self. Spirit holds this for us to offer again to our awareness when we are ready and willing to see again. Allow your relationships to be healed as Spirit directs. Just a bit of willingness is needed to begin. Then the willingness to follow the guidance of Spirit within us will bring our light to shine within us and radiate holiness. Allow your light to shine on your relationships and see the holiness that was there all the time waiting to be recognized. This is why this One is in our life right now.
