⁵Remove your focus on your brother’s sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. …⁷For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. ⁸And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond.
⁵We seek for innocence and nothing else. ⁶We seek for it with no concern but now.
²For the past is gone; the future but imagined. ³These concerns are but defenses against present change of focus in perception. …⁶We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us now. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 181, W-181.2:5,7-8;3:5-6;5:2-3,6. See also ACIM Lesson 181 Insights.)
This lesson describes what our intent needs to be every day, all day. This intention will lead us out of our mistaken identity with the ego belief in separation. We cannot trust what the body’s eyes see, for the body itself is an error. It was made to see only error and overlook eternal truth. The body itself knows nothing. The ego uses our perceptions through the body to draw upon “memories” from the past to give perceptions its meaning. Yet the past is gone and meaning based upon the past is no meaning at all.
The truth can only be recognized in the now moment without intrusions projected from the past. Our intent today is to use Christ’s vision in our mind to see past appearances in the world to the eternal truth that only Love is real. When we let the vision of Christ within show us the innocence of Love in our brother, we learn that same innocence of Love is in us. This lesson learned returns us to our Home in the Kingdom of Love.
Let’s remember the Kingdom of Love today.
