The purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness, and provide you with a justification for forgetting it. It is the temptation to abandon God and His Son by taking on a physical appearance. It is this the body’s eyes look upon.
Only by fulfilling the function [of forgiveness — seeing past separate forms to the truth] given you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness becomes inevitable. There is no other way. Therefore, every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether or not to be happy.
Let me not forget my function.
Let me not try to substitute mine for God’s.
Let me forgive and be happy.(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 64, W-pI.64.1:2-4;4;6:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 64 Insights.)
Holy Spirit, I open my mind to Your healing vision… I want to see the world as You see it… I want to be truly helpful… I hand over all my belief in separate bodies to You… I am willing to see only the Light of eternal Love behind every separate body I see now.
Letting You show me the truth behind every form of separation I see brings me deep happiness and peace… I choose to be vigilant today to keep Your memory of the truth in the forefront of my mind… This is my practice today.
