Creation’s gentleness is all I see.
I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins on it and saw them looking back at me. ²How fierce they seemed! ³And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. ⁴Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. ⁵There is no fear in it. ⁶Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. ⁷What is reflected there is in God’s Mind. ⁸The images I see reflect my thoughts. ⁹Yet is my mind at one with God’s. ¹⁰And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.
In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well. ²Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness. (A Course in Miracles, W-265. See also ACIM Lesson 265 Insights.)
Our real Thoughts are the Thoughts we share with God. Because only Love is real, these are Thoughts that extend Love. To see Creation’s gentleness is to see Love.
A dream represents thoughts that are not real, and have no effect on reality. To choose to see Creation’s gentleness is to awaken to the loving Thoughts in our mind that come from our true Self. These Thoughts are reflected back to us in the world when we have forgiven it for all we dreamed it was.
Today we choose to see with Love.
