How to See Our Brother Truly

The Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no dreams about him that you would prefer to seeing this. And you will see the Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your brother and in you.

This will you look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a dream allow uncertainty to enter here. (A Course in Miracles T-30.VIII.5:5-9;6:1-2)

Our practice for today is to let the Christ be shown to us, behind the appearance of every separate brother. We focus on our willingness to let the truth return to our minds today. And we give thanks as the veil is lifted and the changeless Light of Christ is revealed to us. We are filled with joy as we recognize that this Light of Christ reflects our own.  The happy dream replaces the dream of fear as we consistently let the Christ be shown to us in every situation.

Forgiveness Lets the Light of Love Shine Through

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world, that it may be healed along with me. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.82:1)

Today we devote time to receiving God’s peace… We let peace fill our hearts and minds… We remember that as we practice this frequently today, we are extending peace to every mind, because our minds are joined. We give the gift of peace today… and what we give, we receive. This is our important practice today as we remember our true purpose of forgiveness and extending it to the world.

We Are One Self

You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will. Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.95:13)

The acceptance that we are one Self, along with everyone, is the key to inner peace and happiness. If one Self is all that exists, then there is no adversary — nothing to defend against, nothing to judge, nothing to fear. This one Self was created by Love as Love. There is great joy in the constant extension of Love that is this one Self.

To experience this one Self, we must step back from all judgment, which is simply an ego attempt to separate from oneness. As we let go of judgment, we let go of the false image of being a separate individual. That is forgiveness. We make way for the joyous experience of oneness with everyone and the free flow of Love’s extension. We remember that we are indeed at one with our Creator, sinless, with all His strength within us.

Nothing Can Happen to Change God’s One Son

The lessons to be learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world flows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that God’s Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world of terror and despair. Nor is there hope of happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that ever will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to find. Yet this is not the only outcome which your learning can produce. However much you may have overlearned your chosen task, the lesson that reflects the Love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God’s Son is innocent, and see another world. (A Course in Miracles T-31.1:7)

With the choice to believe that separation from our Source and Identity really happened comes the idea that God’s Son is guilty for opposing God’s Will. As we practice daily stepping back from ego thoughts and choosing to open to Holy Spirit’s thought reversal, a new world is revealed to us.

Where we once saw guilt, we now see innocence. Where we once saw differences, we now see the same pure Light of God’s Love. Where we once saw danger and a need to defend, we now see the safety and joy and peace of joining with our dearest Friend. As we learn the Holy Spirit’s lesson, we know with certainty that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son.

Light Shall Be Our Guide Today

“I will there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true perception.” (W-pI.87:1)

As we are willing to open to the truth, we become aware of the eternal Light in every brother. We naturally see him as he was created by God. We focus on the Love and feel the peace in this holy joining. Seeing everything as Holy Spirit sees it is our path to freedom from the limitations of the ego. It is how we heal and are healed. Light shall be our Guide today.

Truth Returns as We Give up the Unreal

You are not the victim of the world you see because you invented it. You can give it up as easily as you made it up. You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be there for you to see. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.32.1:2-5)

Everything we see through the body’s eyes is an invention, because the body itself is the ego’s invention. When we are disturbed by anything we perceive through the body, we are believing an invention is real and reacting accordingly.

The antidote to this is to redirect our attention from the body to the Source of vision in our minds, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit sees past the invented images to the oneness of Love, the only reality. When we are willing to let the Holy Spirit guide our seeing, we are led to look past the unreal to the real.

Because we have identified with the ego, we need help from beyond the ego’s thought system to recognize its unreality. Today our practice is to hold our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s vision. As we are willing, we will see the Light of Love everywhere. With Love comes peace and happiness. Today we choose to walk with Holy Spirit as our Guide.

We Have Help to Awaken

Not one light in Heaven but goes with you. Not one Ray that shines forever in the Mind of God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When such great lights have joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You and your brother are coming home together, after a long and meaningless journey that you undertook apart, and that led nowhere. You have found your brother, and you will light each other’s way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God, to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the light. (A Course in Miracles T-18.III.8)

We find our brother when we recognize the truth in him. We see him truly when we let the Holy Spirit’s Light show us What he is beyond the façade of a body and personality. Our brother is the Love of God, as are we. As we see the Light of truth in our brothers, our Light is reflected back to us — we light each other’s way.

What joy is offered us in exchange for the simple willingness to be shown the truth in our brothers! Our practice today is to welcome the Holy Spirit’s Light and peace that we may receive our brother’s Light and let it shine on the path we journey together to our Home. It is a journey of joy as we awaken to the Light of Love we are.
