Look on your brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole. And what is whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. Forgiveness rests on recognizing this, and being glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must lack the power to heal.
God’s Son is perfect, or he cannot be God’s Son. Nor will you know him, if you think he does not merit the escape from guilt in all its consequences and its forms. There is no way to think of him but this, if you would know the truth about yourself.
I thank You, Father, for Your perfect Son,
and in his glory will I see my own.Here is the joyful statement that there are no forms of evil that can overcome the Will of God; the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your wish to make illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of the truth?
Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he could not make an error that could change the truth in him. It is not difficult to overlook mistakes that have been given no effects. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.VI.8:1-10:2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The ego is the belief that it is possible for separate parts, disconnected from each other, to exist. This is the world we see while we identify with a body as our self. We see it only because we have made illusions seem real through our belief. But illusions cannot have real effects. Healing comes when we welcome the Holy Spirit’s vision that shows us only the oneness of Love is real. This vision makes whole the fragmented parts the ego would show us.
With the Holy Spirit’s teaching, we learn to see past the veil of illusions to the truth in our brother. Through this vision we learn of the truth in ourselves. The Love that we are automatically joins with the Love that is our brother. We shift from the ego’s dedication to division to the Holy Spirit’s conviction that we remain one in the Love that God created us to be.
Today we choose to accept Holy Spirit’s vision and remember our true Self.
