Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.
I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. ²Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. ³Perception is a mirror, not a fact. ⁴And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. ⁵I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. ⁶And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. ²Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. ³It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him. (A Course in Miracles, W-304. See also ACIM Lesson 304 Insights.)
Our perceptions are always a reflection of what we believe we are — our state of mind. This means every perception teaches us. Either it reinforces our belief in being separate or it teaches us to see the Light of Christ in our brother. What our perceptions teach us depends on which guide we use to interpret our perceptions.
The ego always uses our perceptions to teach us that we are separate. The Holy Spirit offers us another way of seeing, Christ’s vision, which sees the holiness in everyone; the reality of Love and nothing else. The ego’s guidance always leads to pain and suffering, fear and guilt. The Holy Spirit always leads to salvation from the ego and the recognition that only Love is real.
Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance, for we would see with Christ’s vision and recognize that we are united as God’s one Son, eternally at Home in His Love.
