Perhaps it is not yet quite clear to you that each decision that you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a dark shield of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances instead.
For every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts you see the Son of God where he has always been. He stands in light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance made the darkness deeper, and you could not see.
We ask [the Holy Spirit] in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as Himself:
Let me behold my savior in this one You have appointed as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy light in which he stands, that I may join with him.
What you have asked for cannot be denied. …The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God’s Son. And what you see through Him will free you both. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 78, W-pI.78.1;3:2-4;7:2-3;8:1,4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 78 Insights.)
Our insistence on believing the body is our identity is a barrier to the vision that shows our unity with everyone as God’s holy Son. Trusting what the body’s eyes see blinds us from seeing the Light of Love that is everyone’s true Self. The body represents the ego’s grievance against the oneness of Love. It imposes a limit on vision because it cannot see Love’s presence.
This is why we need to consistently ask the Holy Spirit to help us see with His vision, which overlooks the images of separation. His vision brings with it the Light of Love to shine away the darkness that blinds us from seeing the truth.
The Light of Love is our inheritance. It is What we are. As we let the Holy Spirit show us what Love sees, those whom we judged become our saviors. For we see the Holy Son of God in everyone, rather than the ego’s grievances represented by images of separation.
We are one Self, united in the Love of our Creator, free to be Love without limit.
