In this audio recording, Lyn Johnson and Bruce Rawles continue the theme of the perfect holiness that we all share – and has never been fragmented (like a broken mirror) in truth – as we read from (and talk about) ACIM’s Text, Chapter 14: Teaching For Truth, section IX, The Reflection of Holiness, paragraphs 5-7:
5 In this world you can become a spotless mirror, in which the Holiness of your Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect Heaven here. Yet no reflections of the images of other gods must dim the mirror that would hold God’s reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can be perceived upon it.
6 Reflections are seen in light. In darkness they are obscure, and their meaning seems to lie only in shifting interpretations, rather than in themselves. The reflection of God needs no interpretation. It is clear. Clean but the mirror, and the message that shines forth from what the mirror holds out for everyone to see, no one can fail to understand. It is the message that the Holy Spirit is holding to themirror that is in him. He recognizes it because he has been taught his need for it, but knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you.
7 Could you but realize for a single instant the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the world. The image of holiness that shines in your mind is not obscure, and will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. All bring their different problems to its healing light, and all their problems find but healing there.
We also touch on the story of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and how despite our dread of censure for believing we shattered Perfect Oneness (as symbolized by the runaway fragmenting brooms awash in nightmarish flooding dreams) the returning wizard (our Inner Kindness Teacher) instantly restores peace and order, reminding us that no blame or guilt is warranted; our fears are unfounded.
