Let me not see myself as limited.
Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the holy light in him, and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty; nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would attack his sovereignty.
He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself. Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 250, W-pII.250. See also ACIM Lesson 250 Insights.)
To see the Son of God is to see our Self. It shares the limitlessness, strength and peace of God’s Love. It is What we are in truth. When we join with the Holy Spirit, we see What the Holy Spirit sees. We see only Love, for That is What we are. With Holy Spirit’s vision, we look past bodies and forms of the world to see the extension of Love that is God’s Son.
To see a brother as a body is to see him as limited, frail, subject to attack from many fronts. We see this only because we have projected on him what we believe we are. When we see our brother as the Son of God, we are reminded that we are one with him as the Son of God. We have put aside the feverish dreams caused by denial of God’s Love. We have opened our hearts and minds to the truth of What we are.
Every brother in every moment offers us the possibility of remembering we are God’s Son if we see him truly. We accept the opportunity when we let the Holy Spirit heal our misperceptions. We forgive the illusions of our brother and ourselves. And we remember we are God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, at Home in Love.
