Review 58

1. (36) My holiness envelops everything I see.
²From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. ³Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. ⁴I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. ⁵Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.

2. (37) My holiness blesses the world.
²The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. ³Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. ⁴There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness. ⁵As I recognize my holiness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth for everyone to see.

3. (38) There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
²My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. ³What is there to be saved from except illusions? ⁴And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? ⁵My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. ⁶In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.

4. (39) My holiness is my salvation.
²Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is recognizing my salvation. ³It is also recognizing the salvation of the world. ⁴Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. ⁵And because I am unafraid, everyone must share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to the world.

5. (40) I am blessed as a Son of God.
²Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. ³I am blessed as a Son of God. ⁴All good things are mine, because God intended them for me. ⁵I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of Who I am. ⁶My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. ⁷His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. ⁸I am eternally blessed as His Son.
