You look still with the body’s eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision.… He sees no strangers; only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves.
You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.II.5:1-3,5-6;7:1-5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We want to let go of the fear and depression that come with joining with the ego’s thought system. We know too much to still want the ego’s artificial values — seeking for specialness and uniqueness instead of Love’s oneness. We know that seeking for these things only brings disappointment, sorrow and pain in the end.
We want Holy Spirit’s vision instead of the separation and differences the body’s eyes show us. We want to see innocence instead of the guilt we once sought to project onto others to alleviate our own guilt. With Holy Spirit, we are now able to see past all appearances of differences to the presence of Love that is behind all illusions. As we join with Holy Spirit’s purpose, we share the Love from the Holy Spirit with every brother.
