My holiness is my salvation…
This was good news for me… I never could save myself. Not from the mind that got me into the perpetual messes it got me into in. Oh, it did it’s damnedest… Guilt is always the mighty companion of the ego mind and hell the result. “If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?”
When we think about unloving thoughts, they usually fall to the good/bad judgment criterion. But those were just the easy-to-spot ones. After a while, I began to see that the thoughts that haunted me most, were about wanting to do things right, not wanting to be wrong, feeling guilty about any perceived mistakes, afraid of being ‘in trouble’ or perceived as foolish, irresponsible ~insignificant or irrelevant ~ afraid of being revealed to be a fraud, not special after all…
Always, my addiction to ‘special- ness’ ruled the day. These were the unloving thoughts keeping me in hell~ from which, my holiness is my salvation… When I see that only what is of God is real, I can begin to comprehend and accept that my holiness, being the immutable state which gives me life and without which there would be no ‘me’ to be making up problems for, I can begin to comprehend today’s lesson’s possibility.
Any thought that is not of God, is, in truth, no thought at all.
Nonetheless, because of the nature of the maker of thought Itself, the thoughts we make, have, potentially, all the power of the universe at their disposal to utilize or misuse according to the dictates the maker. We choose one thought system (Love~Oneness) or the other (fear~specialness) with every choice we make; in every minute of every day according to what we think we are. Am I ‘special’ or part of the sonship/God’s Son). We can easily see the choice we make, for the mirror image out-pictured as our so-called lives… Being two exclusive thought systems, there is no compromise possible between Heaven and hell. I choose for guilt/fear or I choose love ~ my holiness.
*This is such a crucial lesson. And so easily missed, for the ego has no point of reference to holiness. We are using holiness as a concept to teach and learn from, but the meaning behind holiness is not a concept, it is the Truth of What we are. *
Having no understanding of holiness, the ego’s approximation of this idea, is the concept of “specialness”. And this, the ego knows well! In fact, the ego is the father of this unholy, unloving thought. ~‘Special-ness’ is its specialty…
In this world, we could look at the specialness ideas as the first drink of misbelieve… The ego identity, like a drug dealer, seductive to the core, offered the idea of being ‘special’, we took the first drink of the nectar of separation, the idea of ‘more”… And here, we allowed our minds to be influenced by the intoxication inherent in the drink. From that point on, all our thoughts have been under the influence of this seductive drug/idea. And we have been operating from the deficit produced by the drunkenness of ‘special me”, without realizing it.
Denial is its primary feature ~making it so that we are subject being ignorant of the thorough seditiousness placed on the mind. We think we’re ‘normal’, ‘doing just fine’, oblivious to the impact this loaded idea is making on the world we see and the decisions we make.
Of course, the nature of any idea is to satisfy itself…. And ’specianess’ is no different. Specialness wants to be special; #1, the best, most important,… well, basically…god. And to hell with anything else…yes?
Guilt, the great advocate for specialness, is the prompting for the next drink… And the cycle repeats…
Until, well, inevitable till life force is nearly used up and defeated, we let go… Cracked open by disillusionment, we open to the possibility of another way.
Our holiness is the other way through the Holy Spirit within the mind…joyously dawning the light of our holiness...
…Saved by the bell of holiness! ~Thank God!
Today I see the apparent attempt to duplicate god as my self, for what it was. HELL! The constant, sickening guilt was unbearable. ~The impossibility of the task was always in the periphery of my vision ~with the resulting feeling of smallness, wrongness, not-enough-ness, loneliness. ~The ever-present fear of being usurped myself ~ excruciatingly! Of course the need to medicate with more special importance…required.
If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?
I have been saved by my holiness, saved for mySelf by God. ~I am very holy. This moment, I can’t see anything else…
Through forgiveness, the miracle frees us from the guilty special nightmare, by seeing it is just a dream of separation. Then gently it wakes us to the reality of our holiness.
The miracle has awakened me to my place as the dreamer of the dream. Now, I dream the dream of a forgiven world. Nothing else matters. Your holiness is My holiness...we are Christ and our holiness is the salvation of this world…
Here’s a complimentary text reading I suggest you all to join your study today. (T-13.X.12-14)
My holiness is my salvation. Your holiness blesses me as does mine, and together we are invincible…With the memory of God within our mind, we are shining forth our holiness~ and we are the salvation of the world…
