Accepting the Christ Within

The Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He loves, and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He sees, because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father.

[Christ] knows that love is in you now, and safely held in you by that same hand that holds your brother’s in your own. Christ’s hand holds all His brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes, and sings to them of Heaven, that their ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand, that everyone may bless all living things, and see their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are yours, to look upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He offers you, that you may save all living things from death, receiving from each one the gift of life that your forgiveness offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.V.1:1-3;7:1-10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

It is helpful to remember that the body and all its senses are constructs of the ego thought system and therefore are illusions. Illusions make illusions; they cannot make truth. What the body’s senses perceive are illusions.

To free ourselves from the dream of separation and specialness, we need to use a different means of perception to overlook the illusions of the dream. In our minds the Christ offers His vision, His hands, His feet to connect with the truth in our brothers. With the inner vision of Christ, we see the innocence and Love within our brothers. The hands of Christ join with the hands of our brothers, welcoming them into the oneness of Love. With Christ’s feet, we walk with our brothers on the journey of remembering we are one Self, the innocent Son of God, safe in the eternal presence of Love. Today we choose Christ in our mind as our Guide for all our doing.
