What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You give. We cannot make an offering [illusion] sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love the gift of Christ is his. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 306, W-pII.306. See also ACIM Lesson 306 Insights.)
When we follow the ego’s dictates we deny the presence of Love, which is all around us. We perceive instead a world of conflict, lack of Love, fear and guilt. Through all of this our heart calls for the Love of our true Self.
The ego interprets this call as a need to search for acceptance, status and value through acquiring things in the world. It is a decoy to divert our attention from seeking where Love is because the ego does not know what Love is or where to find It.
To heal the misperceptions offered by the ego, we have been given the vision of Christ. We open our mind to this vision when we choose to question our perceptions and ask for help from our inner Teacher to see truly. This vision comes from our true Self. The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the changeless Love of our Self and the self that perceives the ego’s made-up world.
Today we open our mind and heart to receive Christ’s vision, for we would remember our Home in God’s Love. With this vision, we bring healing to the world.
