Now let a new perception come to me.
Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. ²And love will come wherever it is asked. ³This vision is Your gift. ⁴The eyes of Christ look on a world forgiven. ⁵In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. ⁶Now let His true perception come to me, that I may waken from the dream of sin and look within upon my sinlessness, which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar to Your holy Son, the Self with which I would identify.
Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ. ²How beautiful we are! ³How holy and how loving! ⁴Brother, come and join with me today. ⁵We save the world when we have joined. ⁶For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us. (A Course in Miracles, W-313. See also ACIM Lesson 313 Insights.)
The new perception we can receive is really simply a recognition of what has always been true. We seem to live in a world of self-deception. We have convinced ourselves that we are a body, a unique individual. This identity seems to be under constant threat. Loss and harm are possible and guilt is justified for what we take and even receive when we believe we don’t deserve it.
Compared to the real world, this is a world of misery. It need not be. In any moment we can call upon Christ’s vision to receive His true perception. It shows us the reality of Love and overlooks the deceiving images.
We ask for help to see with Christ’s vision today. For we would see the beautiful Light of Love in every brother. We would see this Light everywhere. We want to know that we are Love and nothing else.
