Healing Our Mind with Christ’s Vision

Do not, then, be deceived in your brother, and see only his loving thoughts as his reality, for by denying that his mind is split you will heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of God Who is in no way separate from His Father, Whose every thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in God’s Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself.

In the real world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no division. Only loving thoughts are recognized, and because no one is without your help, the Help of God goes with you everywhere. As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for It, you will give It because you want It. …Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother, because this is what you will perceive in him, and you will see your beauty reflected in his.

Do not accept your brother’s variable perception of himself for his split mind is yours, and you will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve your goal. Brother, we heal together as we live together and love together. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.VIII.9:2-5;10:1-3,6;11:1-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

What we experience as a body is not reality. What we see a brother do, hear him say, or what appears to happen to his body or our own, is not real. To heal our mind we need to learn to see the Christ in everyone.

The vision of Christ is in our mind; it cannot be seen with the body’s eyes. As we are willing to forgive our attachment to the body as our identity, we open to Christ’s vision in our mind. With this vision we see the true Self of our brother, which is our own true Self. This Self is the Christ, God’s extension of His Love.

Today we ask for Christ’s vision to see the Reality of Love in everything. As we accept this Reality, our mind is healed for it remembers its unity in the Mind of Love. With this remembering the world is seen anew through the eyes of Love.
