Our Only Function

Our only function: 

it's a pretty lofty goal, recognizing ourselves as the light of the world and staying faithful only to that purpose. In fact this might sound way to much for us, beyond consideration even, yet A Course in Miracles states unequivocally that this is the reason we are here, and that it's actually easier than imagined, quite natural really - our only purpose is to be the light of the world. 

this is the function God assigned us.

to be our truest selves.

and of course this often seems to be the hardest thing for us to do. But this is because we've forgotten who we really are, mistaking ourselves for the littlest image that the ego can imagine and then attempting to enlarge it to the grander vision. This isn't to dismiss the things we do in life, our jobs might be vital in the service of others, or even bring us great joy in their performance. What we do is important, but it's never our true function - 

as that belongs to God alone.

so here it is, our function, a simple plan: 

continue everything as before, no changes in our lifestyle are really needed, and at every point of darkness, each desolate corner we encounter -  recognize the light of your own original innocence and extend it just a little. That's enough for now. The nature of light is illumination, it doesn't need direction, and there's no question to it's function. 

it just shines.

and so do you.

I love You.
