Christ’s vision is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love which never dies, but has been kept obscure. Christ’s vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real world pictures Heaven’s innocence.
Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows there; transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can see.
Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His gift, whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life; from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 159, W-pI.159.3;5;10:4-8. See also ACIM Lesson 159 Insights.)
Christ’s vision does not use the body’s eyes. This vision comes from the part of our mind that remembers its unity with Love. It sees all things from Love’s perspective. Being the denial of Love, the ego cannot see from Love’s perspective. All that the ego sees is made up images that attempt to give reality to illusions. The means to see our way out of the ego’s darkness is Christ’s vision. It is through Christ’s vision that we forgive.
To open our minds to Christ’s vision today, we will ask ourselves frequently, “Is Love directing my seeing?” If the answer is no, we will ask for help to see through the forgiving eyes of Christ, for we desire to join with Christ’s dream of the forgiven world.
