Choosing the Judge That Heals the World

³You cannot judge. ⁴You merely can believe the ego’s judgments, all of which are false. ⁵It guides your senses carefully, to prove how weak you are; how helpless and afraid, how apprehensive of just punishment, how black with sin, how wretched in your guilt.

Hear not [ego’s] voice. ²The witnesses it sends to prove to you its evil is your own are false, and speak with certainty of what they do not know.

Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize yourself, and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own belief. ²He will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what his body’s mouth says to your ears, nor what your fingers’ touch reports of him. ³He passes by such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God’s Son. ⁴He recognizes only what God loves, and in the holy light of what He sees do all the ego’s dreams of what you are vanish before the splendor He beholds.

Let Him be Judge of what you are…

⁶Let Him be Judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. ⁷His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth.

He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster, suffering and loss. ²He gives you vision which can look beyond these grim appearances, and can behold the gentle face of Christ in all of them. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 151, W-151.4:3-5;6:1-2;7:1–8:1;9:6–10:2. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)

Having an opinion is hazardous to our wellbeing. Opinions are a form of judgment that keep us engaged in the thought system of separation. Love has no opinions or judgments other than to see only Love, for only Love is real. But ego thoughts of separation come from denial of Love.

To return to acceptance of the Love we are, we need to let go of our opinions. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to judge all things for us. His judgments dismiss meaningless perceptions of separation and show us the Love that is ever present. He will help us recognize calls for Love and the Love we are will automatically respond with Love. As we let the Holy Spirit judge all things for us, we learn that we are Love as God’s one Son. Today we practice choosing the Holy Spirit’s judgment instead of the ego’s.
