You look still with the body’s eyes, and they can see but thorns [separation]. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. 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. (A Course in Miracles T-20.II.5)
How do I join with Holy Spirit’s vision? By being willing to step aside from the ego’s constant chatter of projecting guilt outside. The ego always wants to see separation. I must be willing to move beyond the ego’s chatter and be lifted up to see in a new way. I must be willing to receive and feel the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace that wipes away fearful chatter of the ego. I must be willing to relax into the quiet beingness of peace that comes with allowing the Holy Spirit to be my Guide. I must be willing to rest in this quiet place of peace, cleansed of all the false ideas I thought before. Instead of separation, I am returned to oneness. Instead of fear, I am returned to Love. And for this I am deeply grateful.
Holy Spirit’s vision is the vision of my true Self. When I believe what the body’s eyes show me, I am denying true vision. Vision shows me the changeless strength and Love I share with God. Denial of true vision leaves me feeling weak, vulnerable and fearful. Frustration, efforting, disappointment, unhappiness, all are symptoms of denying true vision.
Holy Spirit, I offer you my thoughts and beliefs that value the images of the world, that deny Your vision. I am willing to exchange them for Your certainty that shows me the strength and Love that is already given me. I claim this strength now and with this strength, I will see with the clarity of Love.
