The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose.
Be lifted up, and from a higher place look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have chosen to be part of it. Here murder [separation] is your choice. Yet from above, the choice is miracles [extensions of Love] instead of murder [separation from Love]. And the perspective coming from this choice shows you the battle is not real, and easily escaped. Bodies may battle, but the clash of forms is meaningless. And it is over when you realize it never was begun. How can a battle be perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the truth of miracles be recognized if murder [separation] is your choice? (A Course in Miracles, T-23.IV.4:7-5:11. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
When we engage in any form of conflict in the world — in thoughts of judgment, in words or in actions — we cannot experience the peace of God. But in every moment we have a choice: We can step back from the conflict and, with the Holy Spirit’s help, overlook the appearances in the world.
As we welcome and accept the Holy Spirit’s point of view, we will always be shown the opportunity to extend Love. As we let the Holy Spirit, our true Self, extend Love through us, the appearances of conflict fade. The blessing of letting Love flow through us brings us great joy and deep peace.
Today we practice choosing the vision of our true Self from above the battleground where we will see the Love that is always present.
