How to Change Our Life Experience

In everyone and everything His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is One with Him.

…we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.

Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone. And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 151, W-pI.151.12:3;13:3-14:4. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)

We have a job to do if we would free ourselves from the fear and guilt the world engenders. It’s not complicated, but it does require that we train our mind with a new habit that will change the course of our life experience.

We need to train our mind to watch our thoughts and offer all thoughts that disturb our peace of mind to the Holy Spirit. He will remove the mistaken perceptions that hide the face of Christ from our awareness.

As we accept His vision, we will see a world where Love shines forth. Where we saw cause for fear we see instead a brother asking for Love. Where we saw guilt we will see the innocence of the one Self we share. Where we saw conflict we will see that we all share the desire to be and extend Love. And our happiness will grow as Love is recognized more and more. It’s a habit worth developing.

The Greatest Gift We Can Give the World

Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before, and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place, to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want. No more than this will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did not want, and that were never true.

Forgive your brother all appearances, that are but ancient lessons you have taught yourself about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his call for mercy and release from all the fearful images he holds of what he is and of what you must be.

For next to you is One [Christ] Who holds the light before you, so that every step is made in certainty and sureness of the road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight, but cannot make the way itself grow dark. And He Who travels with you has the light. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.II.8:1-9:2;11:7-9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

When we perceive anyone as a body, a separate identity, we are trying to see while blindfolded. The images of form hide the Light of Love that is everywhere to see. It is impossible to see this Light with the body’s eyes, for they were made to deny the Light.

Christ’s vision is seen only in the mind. It sees beyond form to the Light that shows us only Love is real. With Christ’s vision we know our brothers are one with us. Christ’s vision sees with forgiving “eyes.” Forgiveness removes the blindfolds that has hidden the Light of Love from our awareness.

We cannot look to the world for help with Christ’s vision. We must offer all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit without the wish to keep our judgments. The reward for this practice is deep peace, freedom from guilt and joy unbound. There is no greater gift we can give ourselves or the world.
