You can ask of the Holy Spirit, then, only by giving to Him, and you can give to Him only where you recognize Him. If you recognize Him in everyone, consider how much you will be asking of Him, and how much you will receive. [The Holy Spirit] will deny you nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can share everything. This is the way, and the only way to have His answer, because His answer is all you can ask for and want. Say, then, to everyone:
Because I will to know myself, I see you as God’s Son and my brother. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.II.12. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit is in our mind to remind us that our true Self is God’s Son. The Holy Spirit knows this unequivocally, so He sees only this Self in everyone. As we let the Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts and perceptions, we learn to recognize the Son of God in every brother and ourselves.
To remember our Self, we need to consistently give our thoughts to the Holy Spirit, moment by moment. The more consistent we are to this practice, the more we will recognize the Light of Love in our brothers and ourselves. Through the Holy Spirit’s gift of Christ’s vision, our brothers are recognized as friends who reflect the Love we are. We overlook what the body image appears to be and do because our attention is on the truth of What he is. He is reflecting back to us our one Self, the Son of God.
