Learning to See Truly

Do you not want to know your own Identity? …Vision is freely given to those who ask to see.

Your brother’s sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit’s vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come to all who ask for [vision] with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother’s body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of him. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.2:1,10;3:1-6)

Sin and separation are synonymous. The body is an image of separation and is therefore an image of sin. Thus to see our brother truly, we must not identify him as a body. This means that we need to learn to disregard the images our body’s eyes show us and give full regard to the Holy Spirit’s vision. This is a radical shift from the values we have learned in the dream of separation. But it is the only way that we can learn to release our attachment to the values of the world and remember that we are only Love, along with all our brothers.

We ask, today, to receive Holy Spirit’s vision, moment by moment. Thus will we learn to recognize that our brother is not a body, but remains the Love that Love created Him to be. We will learn to see only innocence and thereby learn of our innocence. In this vision, we will find the peace we seek.
