You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. ²Your perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you sent for it. …⁶Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance you have chosen.
When you want only love you will see nothing else. ²The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. ³You have looked upon your mind and accepted opposition there, having sought it there. ⁴But do not then believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to your decision about reality, returning to you the messages you gave them. ⁵Love, too, is recognized by its messengers. ⁶If you make love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you invited them.
⁴You cannot really give anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive anything but love from them. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.VII.5:1-2,6;8;9:4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Everyone in this world is seeking for Love. We are seeking for our true Identity. If we look to the ego to guide us to Love, it will only lead us to empty substitutes which do not satisfy.
We have another Advisor in our mind Who will lead us to our true Identity. It always shows us the Reality of Love. In the radiance of that Love, the ego’s substitutes fade in their appeal. We want the Love of God because we want to remember our Identity. They are one and the same.
As we choose the Holy Spirit as our Interpreter for all our perceptions, we will awaken to the Love we seek. We choose this Interpreter today, for we would be happy and at peace.
