³You cannot judge. ⁴You merely can believe the ego’s judgments, all of which are false. ⁵It guides your senses carefully, to prove how weak you are; how helpless and afraid…
Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize yourself, and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own belief.
He will select the elements in them which represent the truth, and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. ²And He will reinterpret all you see, and all occurrences, each circumstance, and every happening that seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. ³And you will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven’s blessing on the world.
²As we give thanks, the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts, which Heaven has corrected and made pure. ³Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that truth has no illusions, and the peace of God, through us, belongs to everyone. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 151, W-1.4:3-5;7:1;11;17:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)
As long as we believe that we are a separate identity, different from everyone and everything, we believe we need to protect this identity. Loss and harm seem real. Pain seems to be part of our lives. Yet this need not be our experience.
There is a better way to perceive the world. We can learn it from the Teacher provided by our Creator. The Holy Spirit sees every moment as a learning opportunity in which His lessons teach us to look beyond appearances. Under His guidance we learn to see the Love that binds us eternally to our Creator and every brother as God’s one Son.
The practice of choosing the Holy Spirit to judge all things on our behalf awakens us to the Love we are and in which we dwell. In truth we are safe, wholly loving and loved without limit. Love is our Home and our very Being. Love is our Reality.
