1. (69) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
Let me not use this as a block to sight.
The light of the world will shine all this away.
I have no need for this. I want to see.
2. (70) My salvation comes from me.
Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.
I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no power to remove salvation from me.

"To see, I must lay grievances aside."
Do I want to see or not? If I do, HS must be my eyes, which means I cannot judge. I will know which choice I made by its outcome. Finding myself angry, depressed, guilty, fearful, or anxious is what tells me I do not want to see. With the ego, my individuality and separation are all I know and my self is safe, though completely miserable.
"Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there... I will not look for it outside myself."
My salvation is not in God, Jesus, or the Course that are outside of my Self. My Salvation rests within, in the power of the mind to choose Jesus as our teacher and not the ego. It is notr in Jesus, but is in our minds' capacity to choose him.
As an idea in the Mind of God we have never left Him, and he has never left us: ideas leave not their source.
