Christ’s vision has one law. It does not look upon a body, and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings and all events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.
This can be taught; and must be taught by all who would achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the world can not give anything that faintly can compare with this in value; nor set up a goal that does not merely disappear when this has been perceived. And this you give today: See no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 158, W-pI.158.7-8. See also ACIM Lesson 158 Insights.)
Our only function is to see with Christ’s Vision. Christ’s vision sees only innocence. Christ’s vision sees nothing that needs forgiveness, for It sees only the Reality of Love.
Whenever our peace is disturbed in any way, it is a sign that we have turned our back on Christ’s vision and chosen to believe in the images of the ego. We need to use this sign as a reminder to turn back to Christ’s vision in our minds. That is the only meaningful use of time in this world. Each time we accept Christ’s vision in place of the images of the ego, we take a step closer to freedom from the limitation of the ego thought system. We move toward remembering that we remain in Heaven where God created us to be.
Today we dedicate to accepting Christ’s vision.
