LESSON 81

Our ideas for review today are:

1. 1(61) I am the light of the world.

2How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the world! 3Let me be still before my holiness. 4In its calm light let all my conflicts disappear. 5In its peace let me remember Who I am.

2. 1Some specific forms for applying this idea when special difficulties seem to arise might be:

2Let me not obscure the light of the world in me.

3Let the light of the world shine through this appearance.

4This shadow will vanish before the light.

3. 1(62) Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.

2It is through accepting my function that I will see the light in me. 3And in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly un­ambiguous before my sight. 4My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. 5Yet I will trust that, in the light, I will see it as it is.

4. 1Specific forms for using this idea might include:

2Let this help me learn what forgiveness means.

3Let me not separate my function from my will.

4I will not use this for an alien purpose.
