Today’s review will cover these ideas:
1. (69) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
²My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see. ³Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? ⁴They keep me in darkness and hide the light. ⁵Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. ⁶To see, I must lay grievances aside. ⁷I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.
2. Specific applications for this idea might be made in these forms:
²Let me not use this as a block to sight.
³The light of the world will shine all this away.
⁴I have no need for this. ⁵I want to see.
3. (70) My salvation comes from me.
²Today I will recognize where my salvation is. ³It is in me because its Source is there. ⁴It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. ⁵I will not look for it outside myself. ⁶It is not found outside and then brought in. ⁷But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.
4. These forms of the idea are suitable for more specific applications:
²Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.
³I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.
⁴This has no power to remove salvation from me.
