My holiness blesses the world.
This lesson says it very clearly:
Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. (W-pI.37.1:2)
To perceive truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness of your own (T-13.VI.1:1).Our self-concept acts like a filter or overlay. We are looking at the world through "me"-colored glasses. Our job is to accept the Atonement for ourselves, to recognize our own holiness, and then, as saviors of the world, to bless the world around us:
And so they call it forth in everyone they look upon, that he may be what they expect of him. This is the savior's vision; that he see his innocence in all he looks upon, and see his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm and open eyes and what he sees. He brings the light to what he looks upon, that he may see it as it really is. (T-31.VII.11:4-7)The Course’s message is a message of total equality. No one is better or worse, less or more, or lacks anything another has, and therefore there is no room for sacrifice. If you have ever experienced being loved just as you are, with no demands of any kind being placed on you, you will understand the power of such a vision of the world.
This lesson also says much about the way the Course is to be spread: not primarily by words but by action, or perhaps more precisely, by attitude:
Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all things blessed along with you. (W-pI.37.3:1-2)Suggestion: Imagine that you are an enlightened master, knowing your oneness with God and all things. As you do the exercises for today, look around you from that state of mind. Look on everything with eyes of love, and a heart that only wishes blessing on all things.
