My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold.
Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful [separate] I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 351, W-pII.351. See also ACIM Lesson 351 Insights.)
If we see a brother as a body capable of harm, we are seeing a reflection of what we believe about ourselves. The Holy Spirit, being the Voice for Love, sees every brother united in Love.
As we keep our mind open to the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of our perceptions of the world, we welcome the peace that comes with remembering we are the loving Son of God. We see every brother as the Love God sees as His Son. We remember His joy.
In every moment we are free to make this choice: To let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf. His judgment is simple and consistent — only Love is real; nothing else exists. We choose to follow God’s Voice today and bring His blessing to the world.
