To teach is to demonstrate. ²There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. ³From your demonstration others learn, and so do you. …¹⁰Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. ¹¹No more than that, but also never less.
⁷Teaching but reinforces what you believe about yourself. ⁸Its fundamental purpose is to diminish self-doubt. ⁹This does not mean that the self you are trying to protect is real. ¹⁰But it does mean that the self you think is real is what you teach.
Except for God’s teachers there would be little hope of salvation, for the world of sin would seem forever real. …⁴This is a manual for the teachers of God. ⁵They are not perfect, or they would not be here. ⁶Yet it is their mission to become perfect here, and so they teach perfection over and over, in many, many ways, until they have learned it. (A Course in Miracles, M-in.2:1-3,10-11;3:7-10;5:1,4-6)
Everyone here has the same mission: We must learn that we are Love, united in that Love with every brother and our Creator. But when we see anyone as different from our self, we teach ourselves that we are not Love, for there are no differences in Love’s oneness. We teach ourselves to believe we are what we could never be in truth.
Beliefs can be changed. We can learn that we are Love by letting the Holy Spirit teach us to let go of our beliefs that deny the Love we truly are. With His help we see past the images of separation to Love’s Presence that stem from our belief that we are separate. We learn to see a forgiven world with Christ’s vision, the vision of our true Self.
Today we welcome His lessons by asking about our perceptions, “Am I seeing this with Love?” We pause to let Love inspire our perceptions. And we will teach Love while learning that we are Love.
