Relative pronoun
Bringing the ego to God, is but to bring error to truth, where it stands corrected,
because it is the OPPOSITE of what it meets, and is undone because the CONTRADICTION
can no longer stand. How long can contradiction stand, when its impossible nature is
clearly revealed? What disappears in light is NOT attacked. It merely vanishes, because it
is not true. Different realities ARE meaningless, for reality MUST be one. It CANNOT
change with time, or mood, or chance. Its changelessness is WHAT MAKES IT REAL. This
CANNOT be undone. Undoing is for UNreality. And this, reality WILL do for you.
Merely by BEING WHAT IT IS, does truth release you from everything that it is NOT.
The Atonement is so gentle, you need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to
your assistance and support. You are not frail, with God beside you. But WITHOUT Him,
you are nothing. The Atonement OFFERS YOU GOD. The gift which you refused, is held
by Him in you. His Spirit holds it there FOR you. God has not left His altar, though His
worshippers placed other gods upon it. The temple still is holy, for the Presence that
dwells within it IS Holiness.
***********
The underlined part... Is it to be understood as, "from everything that it is NOT what it is"?
Doesn't it have to be, "everything that is not", which comes from "everything that is not what it is"?
Why 'it' is put in here?

I'm so sorry; your question is confusing, so I'm not certain what you are asking. The sentence in bold is correct, except that you wouldn't write the word not in all capital letters. I'm not sure I understand your sentence that defines what it is understood as.

Thanks a lot, Sam!!
Now I understand...
Merely by BEING WHAT IT IS, does truth release you from everything that it is NOT.
Here, "it" refers to "truth".... That makes sense and I came to understood this one.
