God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
Perception is not an attribute of God. ²His is the realm of knowledge. ³Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. ⁴Without this link with God, perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. ⁵With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. ⁶That is its function as the Holy Spirit sees it. ⁷Therefore, that is its function in truth.
In God you cannot see. ²Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. ³Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. ⁴Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. ⁵Perception has no meaning. ⁶Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God’s. ⁷Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself.
You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. ²Whatever you do you do in Him, because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. ³If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit’s purpose, then you cannot see apart from God. (A Course in Miracles, W-43.1–3. See also ACIM Lesson 43 Insights.)
Our real thoughts are the Thoughts we think with God — extensions of Love. But the thoughts we are aware of are just image making contained within the thought system of separation. These thoughts are built upon perception of form and simply propagate thoughts that support belief in separation.
These thoughts of separation fostered by the ego form a closed loop that imprisons us in an imaginary world of separation. Built upon this false premise, there is no reasoning that will open the door of this prison. Yet we hold the key in our mind, the Holy Spirit, that will open the door and set us free to join with God’s Will.
As we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide instead of the ego, we will learn to see the presence of Love everywhere, for so It is. This healed perception awakens us from the dream of limitation to the awareness that we are Love in the Mind of Love. Today we call upon the Holy Spirit, asking for His true perception to replace our misperceptions, for we would be free to love as God loves.
