Commentary on ACIM Lesson 39
©2010 Rev. David Seacord

My holiness is my salvation.

My holiness IS. There is, in this ISness, an instant answer to every illusion of the imagined and separated. The Sufi's wazifa 'La il la ha, il allah hu' (There is no reality but God) is a similar declaration of the absolute (without opposite) nature of our actually deathless reality. My holiness IS infinitely and eternally. It is whole, it is NOW, and it extends without effort or limit to encompass All, in every dimension of divine possibility.

As our friend, this Course, today points out, what one already IS does not need to be practiced. To remember our one Self is all that is necessary to realize this. In the world, this is very possible if we are willing for God to be everything. Making one exception to this however, will make it seem impossible. All this course is doing is building within us a thought system bringing the light of wholeness to every corner of our belief in whatever impossible not-God-ness that may remain to tempt us to fear. Our willing to do the lessons is the equivalent of putting in the necessary laborers hours that earn his/her paycheck. In other words, the reward of your consistent intention and attention to building this everywhere-without-exception thought structure is the grace of Being Whole increasingly without error.

The blessings of life in phenomenal reality is similar to walking on water. In the reversal of emptiness is the living presence of fullness.

My holiness blesses the world and is my salvation. Thus does the world become whole.


Namaste,

David
