Now let a new perception come to me.
Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. ²And love will come wherever it is asked. ³This vision is Your gift. ⁴The eyes of Christ look on a world forgiven. ⁵In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. ⁶Now let His true perception come to me, that I may waken from the dream of sin and look within upon my sinlessness, which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar to Your holy Son, the Self with which I would identify.
Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ. ²How beautiful we are! ³How holy and how loving! ⁴Brother, come and join with me today. ⁵We save the world when we have joined. ⁶For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us. (A Course in Miracles, W-313. See also ACIM Lesson 313 Insights.)
We identify with the body as what we are. Everything the body’s eyes see, what it hears and feels, we accept as real. All this is part of the illusion made by the ego, the wish for specialness. The effect of this identification is a sense of loneliness, a lack of Love that motivates a constant search for Love. But Love cannot be found in the forms of the world.
It is time to form a new habit of letting Christ’s vision be our focus. Christ’s vision looks beyond the body to the one Self we all share. It sees the Light of Love everywhere and in everyone. This vision shows us our unity with every brother in the Love we are as one.
This perception sees only innocence, for Love is total. It sees our completion in the oneness of God’s Love. Today we choose this vision in place of the body’s seeing. This vision brings us peace and joy as we join in the eternal flow of God’s Love.
