Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world. This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. Let me today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your world today.
God’s world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them. We wept because we did not understand. But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God’s world today.
Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 301,W-pII.301.1-2 302.1. See also ACIM Lesson 301 Insights.)
God’s world cannot be seen with the body’s eyes. It is seen through Christ’s vision, which is the vision of Love. Christ’s vision in our mind sees the innocence of Love’s oneness. Our eyes open to seeing God’s world as we accept Christ’s vision in place of what the body sees.
The ego’s world of separation depends upon judgment in all its perceptions. This is why forgiveness is needed to receive Christ’s vision, which will reveal God’s gifts of joy and peace. By letting Christ’s vision in our mind look past the images of the world, we see the real world, the world forgiveness sees. With this vision, we extend God’s Love in place of the ego’s denial of Love. With Christ’s vision, there is no cause for sadness, guilt or fear. We see only Love’s reflection everywhere.
