⁵Projection makes perception, and you cannot see beyond it. ⁶Again and again have you attacked your brother, because you saw in him a shadow figure in your private world. ⁷And thus it is you must attack yourself first, for what you attack is not in others. ⁸Its only reality is in your own mind, and by attacking others you are literally attacking what is not there.
…love cannot abide in a world apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. ³If you see your own hatred as your brother, you are not seeing him.
…you see only your own split mind everywhere you look. ⁶God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your own voice. ⁷And the vision of Christ is not in your sight, for you look upon yourself alone.
Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you made your way of seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. ²Beyond this darkness, and yet still within you, is the vision of Christ, Who looks on all in light. ³Your “vision” comes from fear, as His from love. ⁴And He sees for you, as your witness to the real world. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.V.3:5-8;5:2-3;6:5-7;9:1-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The body and what it sees seems so real. It is made by the ego to deceive. It helps keep the ego in the forefront of our split mind. But it does not show us the truth.
The key to relief from fear and guilt is willingness to accept Christ’s vision in place of the body’s seeing. The body’s eyes cannot see Love’s Light. But the Christ in our mind sees the Light of Love everywhere, for it sees only Reality.
Today we choose to let Love guide all our seeing. As we accept It’s Light, we see a world in which we are one with all, united in God’s Love. It is a world of peace and happiness. This is the world we would see today.
