God’s teachers have learned how to be simple. They have no dreams that need defense against the truth. They do not try to make themselves. Their joy comes from their understanding Who created them. And does what God created need defense? No one can become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands that defenses are but foolish guardians of mad illusions. The more grotesque the dream, the fiercer and more powerful its defenses seem to be. Yet when the teacher of God finally agrees to look past them, he finds that nothing was there. Slowly at first he lets himself be undeceived. But he learns faster as his trust increases. It is not danger that comes when defenses are laid down. It is safety. It is peace. It is joy. And it is God. (A Course in Miracles, M-4.VI.1)
“The world was made as an attack on God.” (W-pII.3) The world we experience with a body which was made to attack Love certainly cannot be trusted. But if we see the world through the eyes of Christ, we learn that only the oneness of Love is really there. We learn to look past the images of the world, recognizing they are just illusions.
As we learn to trust that changeless Love is ever present, the seeming reality of the constantly changing images in the world fades. We let Christ’s vision guide our seeing more and more, instead of trusting in our perceptions through the body’s senses.
Today we call upon Christ’s vision to guide our seeing, that we may learn to trust in the reality of Love’s changeless presence. As we accept Love’s Presence, we learn to accept that safety, peace and joy are ours. We learn that we are at Home in God’s Love always.
