An Alternative Way to See the Worl

God goes with me wherever I go.

How can I be alone when God always goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides in Him? How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy sur­round me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go.

God is my strength. Vision is His gift.

Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ’s vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 59, W-pI.59.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 59 Insights.)

The Course is teaching us that what the body’s eyes see is only an illusion of seeing. It is really image making that seems to confirm separation is real. This perception is essential to the maintenance of the ego’s belief it is separate from God. It denies Love’s oneness.

But there is an alternative way to see the world. Christ’s vision sees past the ego’s images to the Presence of Love that is everywhere, around us and in us. We don’t need to deny that the body’s eyes see images. We just need to remember that those images are unreal and choose instead the vision of Christ that shows us the reality of Love.

Love is always with us because God goes with us wherever we go. His vision is available to us in every instant. As we give Christ’s vision priority, the world becomes a place of healing. Fear subsides and Love is recognized more and more. Guilt fades as we remember we are one in God’s Love.

Today we remind ourselves frequently that Love goes with us everywhere. And we choose to see all things with Love’s vision.
