Accepting Holy Spirit’s Help

Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is [perception’s] function as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth.

In God you cannot see. Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, [perception] must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God’s. Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 43, W-pI.43.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 43 Insights.)

It is the Holy Spirit That purifies our perception so it leads to knowledge. As we join with the Holy Spirit, He will show us the true meaning behind every circumstance. As we join with Holy Spirit, our perceptions are healed. With Holy Spirit we are able to see past ego’s false ideas to see the Love behind all images of separation.

The Holy Spirit teaches forgiveness and sees all loveless behavior as calls for Love. With Holy Spirit’s help we let go of the ego’s false ideas and remember that only Love is real. We find peace and happiness at last and extend it to the world.
