Creation’s gentleness is all I see.
I have indeed misunderstood the world, because I laid my sins (belief in separation) on it and saw them looking back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world, instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my sins obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. What is reflected there is in God’s Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God’s. And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness.
In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your Thoughts, and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see creation’s gentleness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 265, W-pII.265. See also ACIM Lesson 265 Insights.)
Everything in the world is a reflection. If we believe we are separate, we perceive separation reflected back to us. But when we accept Christ’s vision, Creation’s gentleness is all we see. We are seeing the reflection what is in God’s Mind.
Let us dedicate this year to the practice of going to the center of peace in our mind throughout the day so that we perceive Creation’s gentleness. It is a gift we give to ourselves and the world.
