Do not underestimate the appeal of the ego’s demonstrations to those who would listen. ²Selective perception chooses its witnesses carefully, and its witnesses are consistent. …⁹The ego looks straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has denied His Son.
Would you remember the Father? ²Accept His Son and you will remember Him.
Every brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him. ²Everyone convinces you of what you want to perceive, and of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance. ³Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. ⁴Every brother has the power to release you, if you choose to be free. ⁵You cannot accept false witness of him unless you have evoked false witnesses against him. ⁶If he speaks not of Christ to you, you spoke not of Christ to him. ⁷You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks through you, you will hear Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.V.16:1-2,9;17:1-2;18. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
If we want specialness to be true, we see a loveless world of conflict and loss. In the oneness of Love there is no place for differences and division.
If we want to be Love, we will see every brother as one with us in that Love. Today we choose to be vigilant for Love. We want to see the Love of Christ, our one Self, in every brother. In this recognition we will remember the Love that unites us with our Father.
