Christ’s is the vision I will use today.
Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the Witnesses to what is true in God’s creation. In Christ’s sight, the world and God’s creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death, for nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified.
Father, Christ’s vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I choose, to be what I would look upon today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 271, W-pII.271. See also ACIM Lesson 271 Insights.)
In every instant we make a choice between two perceptions. If we choose to believe what the body’s eyes show us, we perceive separation, differences, lack, loss and vulnerability. If we choose the perception of Christ’s vision, we see the innocence of Love that unifies us with our brothers. We see a world of kindness, helpfulness and innocence. We feel the safety that comes with the assurance that our true Self, created by Love, is changeless and eternal.
One choice brings fear and guilt. The other choice brings Love, peace and joy, for it brings us to a state of mind so close to Heaven that the images seen by the body’s eyes fade away. We remember we are eternally at Home in Heaven.
Today we practice welcoming Christ’s vision by asking the Holy Spirit to help us see beyond the images of the world to the presence of Love’s oneness.
