The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found.
The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 291, W-pII.8.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 291 Insights.)
Today we practice stepping back and seeing the world through Holy Spirit’s eyes. The Holy Spirit helps us see the world differently. With Holy Spirit we are able to see past bodies, past separate forms, to see the simple, uncomplicated Love that is always there.
Complexity and problems are of the ego. We do not have to believe it. As we are willing, we can be carried past the stories of the world to the constant and changeless awareness of Love’s presence, where peace and happiness abide. All this comes to us today as we step back and see the world through Holy Spirit’s eyes. We are so grateful for this help.
