Our ideas for review today are:
1. (61) I am the light of the world.
* As I bring the witness that God IS into the world (mentality of the world) that denies Him.
²How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the world!
* Hahaha! NOT holier than thou, but with a witness that I am wholly a part of All That IS!
³Let me be still before my holiness.
* Let me remain calm and know what I know about the fact that I am Whole within the Wholeness that is The Son of God, as is everyone else.
⁴In its calm light let all my conflicts disappear.
* My conflicts will disappear because The Son is fully within the Father Who provides for everything.
⁵In its peace let me remember Who I am.
* I am part of Christ.
2. Some specific forms for applying this idea when special difficulties seem to arise might be:
²Let me not obscure the light of the world in me.
³Let the light of the world shine through this appearance.
⁴This shadow will vanish before the light.
* This is Christ I am speaking to, and I know who he is.
* Even though I see what is currently a defense he truly is the Christ that I know and love.
* My love cannot break through but God’s can and I can take care of my own emotional well-being by having healthy boundaries.
3. (62) Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
* I can honor this only as I put my ego aside and take care of myself while God Loves others through me.
²It is through accepting my function that I will see the light in me.
* My function is to honor the Atonement by knowing that I am interacting with a part of The Son of God. Forgiveness is the starting mechanism that allows me to recognize God’s Existence and The Son’s Innocence. I move forward in that knowledge and under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
³And in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight.
* Oh, give me a break! That makes it sound so simple, and I do not think it means quite that.
* Bear in mind that even once we have removed the attachment to the separation or denial of God and seen The Son we still have many goofy thought patterns that align with separation.
* Now, I do suppose that it was good to have this here so that we understand that there will be clarity ONCE we clean up these other thought patterns that the Spirit is helping us through.
* If nothing else, the fact that I can see that these are the things that need to be removed may be the very things that the statement was meant to enlighten me about. 
⁴My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness.
* Maybe, THAT is what I was trying to say. Haha.
⁵Yet I will trust that, in the light, I will see it as it is.
* “The light’ would be the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for which I am very grateful!
4. Specific forms for using this idea might include:
²Let this help me learn what forgiveness means.
³Let me not separate my function from my will.
⁴I will not use this for an alien purpose.
* I will say here that the Workbook is good for all levels of understanding.
* Today, my understanding is the forgiveness allows us to see God and The Son through the eyes of Love.
