My sinless brother is my guide to peace.
My sinful brother is my guide to pain.
And which I choose to see I will behold.
Who is my brother but Your holy Son? ²And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. ³Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. ⁴I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. ⁵And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. ⁶Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. ⁷For He alone gives judgment in Your Name. (A Course in Miracles, W-351. See also ACIM Lesson 351 Insights.)
This dream world is a reflection of our wish for specialness and thus separation. We see some of our brothers as friends and some as adversaries. Adversaries can become allies and friends can be competitors. This only seems possible in a dream where we are separate from everything. Most importantly, it comes with the belief that we successfully separated from the Source of Love, our Creator.
Fortunately we can change our belief. We have been given a Guide in our mind to lead us out of the dream. He teaches us that we are Love and nothing else. If we let Him, He will show us that this Love is shared with everyone. As we learn to recognize the presence of Love, we easily dismiss the dream images that seemed to separate us. We see our oneness instead of our differences. We see the Love instead of fear. We are grateful that we have the Help that we need to awaken to our Home in the Heaven of God’s Love.
