Seeing with Forgiving Eyes

I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.

Forgiveness is a choice. ²I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. ³What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. ⁴It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. ⁵I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. ⁶My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. ⁷And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.

What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? ²His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. ³In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-335. See also ACIM Lesson 335 Insights.)

This world is a dream, and we are the dreamer of the dream. Everything we perceive is a reflection of what we believe we are. If we believe we are separate and different, we will see a world of separate images and differences.

When we forgive the wish to be separate, we will see the universe of Love in which we live. In this universe, all is one; there are no differences. We are united with all there is as the one Son of our Father.

Forgiveness is necessary in the dream because it releases the judgments that reflect our belief in separation. Today we choose to see our brother as the Love he is. With this vision, we see our brother forgiven and learn that we are released along with him. We remember the one Self God created eternally one with Himself.
