Accepting the World’s Only Purpose

Forget not that the healing of God’s Son is all the world is for. ²That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it, and thus the only one it has. ³Until you see the healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. ⁴For you will use the world for what is not its purpose, and will not escape its laws of violence and death. ⁵Yet it is given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in every way and every circumstance, in all temptation to perceive what is not there, and all belief God’s Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not.

Look on your brother, and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to rule this world. ²See in his freedom yours, for such it is. ³Let not his specialness obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to will you escape. ⁴And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. ⁵Yet will his perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it looks upon. ⁶And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and shares His Being. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.VI.4-5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The ego uses judgment as a weapon to divide and conquer. This is how it maintains the illusion of separation and specialness. The Holy Spirit uses judgment to heal. Its singular judgment is very simple. It judges between the real and the unreal. It dismisses the unreal as meaningless and therefore nothing. It retains the real, recognizing it as Love and nothing else. This brings healing to the Son of God’s troubled mind. In the changelessness of Love there is no conflict, loss, harm nor lack.

As we step back and let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf, we join with Holy Spirit’s purpose, the only purpose for the world. We see our brother as the Love he is instead a body, different from us. Every brother is recognized as part of our one Self, the Son of God.

Today we relinquish our own judgment and welcome the Holy Spirit’s judgment. For we would be free from fear and awaken to the changeless Love we are.
