A madman’s dreams are frightening, and sin [separation from Love] appears indeed to terrify. And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his Father shines on him, and loves him with an everlasting Love which his pretenses cannot change at all.
How long, O Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children’s toys? How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, O holy Son of God, how long?
Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory.
He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself. Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with [Your Son]. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 250, W-pII.4.4-5;250.1:1,2:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 250 Insights.)
No matter where we live in the world, we seem to be subject to threats to our safety or at least our happiness. But these threats only seem real when we believe we are a body. The body was made to make separation from Love seem real. Everything that appears to happen to the body supports the “reality” of separation, a.k.a. sin. These appearances are nothing but illusions. To believe they are real is self deception.
Believing we are a body denies that we are God’s Son. To see truly means we do not see our brother as a body, but as an extension of God’s eternal Love. This is the truth of what everyone is. So today our prayer is to see with the eyes of Love. This vision sees no sin (separation), for it sees only Love’s oneness. Any appearance that seems to contradict this is simply a call for Love.
