Joining with the Eternal Extension of Love

Christ’s is the vision I will use today.

Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. ²Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God’s creation. ³In Christ’s sight, the world and God’s creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears. ⁴His kindly sight redeems the world from death, for nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified.

Father, Christ’s vision is the way to You. ²What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. ³And this I choose, to be what I would look upon today. (A Course in Miracles, W-271. See also ACIM Lesson 271 Insights.)

Christ’s vision is the remedy for the distorted vision the ego offers with its images of separation. What we see with a body is a display of the ego belief system set in images made to make separation appear real. The body itself is an ego-made image that it uses as a projector. What it “sees” is only a reflection of the beliefs that are the foundation of the ego. Without our decision to accept beliefs that deny the oneness of God’s Love, the ego would not seem to exist.

Because we are accustomed to seeing a world outside us, we need to learn that these perceptions are not real. Christ’s vision shows us transformed perceptions that see past the ego’s denial of Love to Love’s innocence everywhere. It seems that we are constantly needing to choose between alternatives in the ego’s world. Christ’s vision is the only alternative that leads us back to awareness of Love’s unity.

Like forgiveness, Christ’s vision leads us to awareness of the real world. It is not needed in Heaven, but His vision brings us to Heaven’s gate, free of the ego’s limitations. Here we are welcomed into Love’s oneness where we are joined with our Creator in the eternal extension of Love.
