When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look back, and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from idols toward reality. For when they joined their hands it was Christ’s hand they took, and they will look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the Love of God. Yet is the Love of Christ accepted first. And then will come the knowledge They are One. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.V.7)
When we look through the ego’s eyes, we are not shown the face of Christ in every brother. The ego’s goal is to project the unconscious guilt we feel within onto “others” we see as outside us. The world was made up to make ourselves look like the innocent victim of a guilty outer world. We feel very separate from “others.”
As we learn to choose a better way, we open to the Holy Spirit’s way of seeing every brother. The Holy Spirit helps us see past the body to the truth of the eternal Spirit of Love that lies behind the illusion of separation. The Holy Spirit sees the illusions of separate bodies but does not believe in them. He joyfully shows us the face of Christ that is eternally there in everyone. The Holy Spirit shows us innocence where we once saw guilt. He dissolves the fearful projections and helps us see the Truth that only Love is there. Our only purpose today is to join with Holy Spirit to see the face of Christ in every brother.
