LESSON 58

These ideas are for review today:

1. 1(36) My holiness envelops everything I see.

2From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. 3Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. 4I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. 5Seen through under­standing eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.

2. 1(37) My holiness blesses the world.

2The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. 3Every­one and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. 4There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness. 5As I recognize my holi­ness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth for everyone to see.

3. 1(38) There is nothing my holiness cannot do.

2My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is un­limited in its power to save. 3What is there to be saved from ex­cept illusions? 4And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? 5My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. 6In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.

4. 1(39) My holiness is my salvation.

2Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is recognizing my salvation. 3It is also recognizing the salva­tion of the world. 4Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. 5And because I am unafraid, everyone must share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to the world.

5. 1(40) I am blessed as a Son of God.

2Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. 3I am blessed as a Son of God. 4All good things are mine, because God intended them for me. 5I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain be­cause of Who I am. 6My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. 7His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. 8I am eternally blessed as His Son.
