Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ. I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 304, W-pII.304.1. See also ACIM Lesson 304 Insights.)
The vision of Christ always shows us the truth beyond the appearances of the world. The world of form is the ego’s mechanism for obscuring Christ’s vision. The body’s eyes can never show us what Christ’s vision sees.
To see the world truly, we must shift our attention from the body’s perceptions to the vision that comes into our minds when we are willing to be in peace and lay aside, at least for a moment, our perceptions of the world. As we open our minds to the inner vision of Christ, we see the unity of Love that joins us with our brothers and our Source.
With Christ’s vision we lay aside the obscuring images of the ego. Forgiveness is automatic because Christ’s vision shows us only the innocence of Love.
