Seeing Beyond the Masks with Christ’s Vision

The Holy Spirit reaches from the Christ in you to all your dreams, and bids them come to Him, to be translated into truth. He will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every Son of God, what could there be to keep things separate, for what remains to see except Christ’s face?

And how long will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning now is over, and the goal of the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ’s face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory, will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His Son. (A Course in Miracles What is the Christ?, W-pII.6:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson Insights.)

A body is the ego’s mask to hide the face of Christ. The more we recognize that the mask is nothing more than a false persona and let ourselves see beyond it to the face of Christ, the greater will be our peace and our joy. As we identify with the face of Christ instead of the mask, we see that same face in every brother. The mask our brother seems to wear and our own diminish. They remain in our awareness, but their appearance interferes less with the vision of Love that shows us our brother at one with us, innocent and a holy extension of God’s Love.

Today let us practice overlooking the mask and welcoming Holy Spirit’s help to see with Christ’s vision.
