Lesson 299: Eternal Holiness Abides in Me
Manage episode 501658817 series 3674772
What if your divine nature remains completely untouched by anything you think you've done wrong? This profound episode explores Lesson 299 from A Course in Miracles: "Eternal holiness abides in me."
Hope Johnson guides us through a radical reframing of holinessโnot as something we achieve through spiritual practice, but as our unchangeable inheritance that remains perfect regardless of our perceived mistakes. This holiness isn't a self-made virtue but a fact of creation anchored in God's will, which we share with Him.
The episode challenges us to recognize that our irritation with others stems not from their behavior but from our perceived separation from them. When we glimpse our true nature, we must see it in everyone. This recognition becomes the foundation for all healing, as we understand that what God created cannot be violatedโillusions may obscure our holiness but can never alter or destroy it.
Hope offers practical guidance for incorporating this awareness into daily life. Begin your day acknowledging that your holiness is God's gift to you, letting this dissolve self-judgment. When conflict or fear arises, remind yourself, "This cannot touch me. I am the holiness that God created." This pivot of awareness from illusion to truth transforms our experience.
By recognizing our eternal holiness, we come to know our source. This collapses the distance between ourselves and God, between ourselves and our brothers. Join Hope in this beautiful meditation on true dignityโnot of the ego, but of our divine origin. To be holy is simply to be as God created us: not limited by the body, but eternally free.
