…the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not, and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely.
As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call for God, and all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light, and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away, but Heaven has preserved for you in Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 241, W-pII.3.2:4-6;4. See also ACIM Lesson 241 Insights.)
The Holy Spirit is teaching us that the body is incapable of showing us the truth because the body itself is not true; it’s an illusion. We are being asked to shift our attention to our inner vision and hearing, which receives the messages the Holy Spirit has for us — the messages of truth. These messages cannot be received by the body, for they are given to us in our minds.
Because we believe in the idea of separation, our minds are confused about what is true and what is false. The Holy Spirit can shine His Light on our misperceptions so that we can take His bridge out of the false world and into the Light of God’s Love. Here is the absolute certainty of God’s changeless creation, where we can trust that only Love is real. We learn that the forms in the world are simply calls for Love and these calls are always answered by the Holy Spirit with Love.
Today we practice giving our attention to our inner vision and hearing so that we can recognize that Love is everywhere and we are eternally safe.
