Accepting the True Self We Share with All

I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.

Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.

What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 335, W-pII.335. See also ACIM Lesson 335 Insights.)

Perception requires a perceiver and something separate that is perceived. This could only seem to occur in a dream where separation is believed to be real. In this dream we believe we are a self separate from everything in the world. Yet God created His one Son eternally united with Him in the oneness of His Love.

Our true Self is God’s Son. This Self is the same Self we share with every brother. When we see our brother as the Love He is, we see our one Self. This is true perception, for it overlooks the division the ego would have us see. In the world of perception, the best we can do is perceive the Love that our brother is.

When forgiveness is complete, Love is wholly accepted. We perceive the truth in our brother which reflects our own completion in the Love of God. We have let go of the ego’s insistence on separation and welcomed the Reality of our true Self in God. Perception is no longer needed, for we remember our unity in the Love of God, where we rest in the peace of His holiness.

Today we seek to see the Love in our brothers, for we would remember the Love we are. Together with our brother, we join in God’s peace and joy.
