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 it 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.3)
It is impossible to see anyone as a body without judgment. Yet Love does not judge. So to see a brother as a body is to look upon him without Love. This is what the ego does, because the ego is the denial of Love.
Conversely, the Holy Spirit is the Messenger of Love. His vision looks past the body to the one Self that is the Identity we share with all our brothers. To remember our Identity, we need to accept the Holy Spirit’s vision as our own. His vision is the means God has given us to awaken from the dream. We need only be willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s vision to replace the ego’s limited perception that we have called our own.
Today’s practice is to be vigilant for peace. It is in peace that the way is made for Holy Spirit’s vision to enter. In peace we remember our holiness as we see it in every brother.
