ACIM Lesson 299 Contemplation

"Eternal holiness abides in me."

This lesson emphasizes that our true nature is eternally holy, untouched by illusions or worldly experiences. Our holiness is not something we create or earn; it is a gift from God, inherent in our being as His creation. The lesson invites us to recognize and connect with this divine holiness by releasing false beliefs, judgments, and illusions that obscure it.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 299 Eternal holiness abides in me.

My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know.

God,

My Father,

Who created my holiness,

Acknowledges my holiness as His.

Our will,

Together,

Understands my holiness.

Our will,

Together,

My Father's and mine,

Our will,

Together,

Knows that it is so.

My holiness is not of me.

My holiness is not mine to be destroyed by sin.

My holiness is not mine to suffer from attack.

Illusions can obscure my holiness,

But illusions cannot put out its radiance.

Illusions cannot dim the light of my holiness.

The light of my holiness stands forever perfect and untouched.

Father,

In the light of my holiness are all things healed,

For they remain as You created them.

I can know my holiness,

For holiness itself created me.

I can know my source,

Because it is Your will that You be known.
