Seeing Through Forgiving Eyes

The mind that sees only innocence has forgiven the world for what it thought it was. On the other hand, the mind that looks for guilt is bound to the world of pain, fear and suffering. Every moment we have the choice of whether to see through the eyes of forgiveness or to see the eyes of guilt.

We free ourselves from pain and suffering the more we are vigilant for what we are choosing. We free ourselves from the false identity as allow the veil of sin and guilt to be lifted from our minds. The Holy Spirit is our constant Companion and will help us when we are willing to see through the eyes of forgiveness.

This is our practice for today. We want our minds purified from the ego’s dark thoughts of fear, guilt and separation from Love. All this comes to us easily and freely when we are consistent with choosing to see through the eyes of forgiveness.

Remembering How God Knows Us

Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the Mind of its Creator…. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.10)

As we perceive through the body’s eyes, there seems to be myriad forms for us to pay attention to: Things to fix and clean, to prepare for and protect against in order to function in the world. It seems that if we do not do these things that we will not be safe or happy. Yet all these activities are simply manipulating idols (forms) in a world of make believe. Meanwhile we remain exactly as God created us — complete and healed and whole, shining with Love within the Mind of God. This will never change because this is the changeless Thought within the Mind of Love.

We are learning to remember how Gods knows us — as eternally safe in the changelessness of Love. To know eternal happiness and perfect safety, we need to learn to look past the forms of the world to the Light of Love that is everywhere. To do this we need to let go of our investment in wanting the forms of the world to be real. This is what forgiveness does. As we practice stepping back from the meaning we give the world and letting the Holy Spirit in our minds show us the Truth beyond the forms of the world, we forgive the world for what we thought it was and welcome our reality as eternal Love. Today we dedicate to letting Holy Spirit help us remember how God knows us.
