What the body’s eyes behold is only conflict. Look not to them for peace and understanding. M-8.2. Illusions are always illusions of differences.
When he realizes they are all illusions they will disappear.
The body’s eyes will continue to see differences. But the mind that has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be “sicker” than others, and the body’s eyes will report their changed appearances as before. But the healed mind will put them all in one category; they are unreal. This is the gift of its Teacher; the understanding that only two categories are meaningful in sorting out the messages the mind receives from what appears to be the outside world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and place–for differences cannot exist within it–so too are illusions without distinctions. The one answer to sickness of any kind is healing. The one answer to all illusions is truth. (A Course in Miracles, M-8.1:6-2:1;5:7;6)
While we seem to be in the world seeing it through the body’s eyes, it is not useful to deny what the body’s eyes see. But as we let our mind be healed with Christ’s vision, we no longer give credence to what the body’s eyes see. The truth in us takes precedence. Love, in Its oneness, sees only Itself.
Each time we forgive the ego’s judgment of an appearance, we clear the way for Christ’s vision to show us the truth. The veil of unforgiveness becomes less dense and the Light of Love is reflected back to us.
Today we welcome healing in our mind by choosing Christ’s vision instead of the ego’s misperceptions. It is a choice between happiness and depression, peace and conflict, Love and fear. Let us join together in Love to see Love’s reflection in the world.
