Accepting the Vision of Love

⁴One illusion cherished and defended against the truth makes all truth meaningless, and all illusions real. ⁵Such is the power of belief.

There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. ²Nor is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. ³A savior cannot be a judge, nor mercy [be] condemnation. ⁴And vision cannot damn, but only bless.

Behold the great projection, but look on it with the decision that it must be healed, and not with fear. ²Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would be apart from your Creator, and with a will opposed to His. ³For only if you would believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what you made is [your enemy]. ⁴You would condemn [God’s] joy to misery, and make Him different. ⁵And all the misery you made has been your own. ⁶Are you not glad to learn it is not true? ⁷Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the illusions that you made replaced the truth?

All you need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is share His vision. ²Quickly and gladly is His vision given anyone who is but willing to see his brother sinless. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.II.4:4-5;8:1-4;10;13:1-2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Christ’s vision disregards the past, for it is not real. This vision is based solely on the present and sees all things from this perspective. Only Love is real so only Love is in the present. As we accept Christ’s vision, all perception is interpreted based on the recognition that only Love is real. Every brother is seen as only Love and therefore innocent.

To accept Christ is to accept the vision of Love. It means that we accept our true Self as God created It. We give up our attention to the ego, which tries to cover the presence of Love with illusions of separation and specialness. It tries to cover the misery and guilt it brings with appealing images that sparkle with a false façade hiding the darkness that comes when the Light of Love is denied.

Today we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to let Christ’s vision replace the ego’s denial of Love. God’s joy is welcomed and we rest in His peace.
