Shifting Our Allegiance from Fear to Love

It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. ²This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. ³It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces. ⁴The miracle is always there. ⁵Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. ⁶It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. ⁷You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.

You do not doubt that the body’s eyes can see. ⁴You do not doubt the images they show you are reality. ⁵Your faith lies in the darkness, not the light. ⁶How can this be reversed?

…instruct yourself that you are not a body. ³Faith goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. ⁴Your will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do what it desires. ⁵You can escape the body if you choose. ⁶You can experience the strength in you.

³Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith.

…your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts. (A Course in Miracles, W-91.1;3:3-6;5:2-6;9:3;10:1. See also ACIM Lesson 91 Insights.)

Christ’s vision is seen through eyes that have forgiven illusions, no longer seeing any value in them. Credence is no longer given to what the body’s eyes see. This is why the most repeated affirmation in the course is, “I am not a body. I am free. I am still as God created me.” This shifts our allegiance to our Creator instead of the ego.

As long as we identify with the ego’s thought system of separation, we join with its dedication to the body. The body is the ego’s central tool for maintaining the illusion that separation is real.

We need to realign our allegiance with the Holy Spirit. He will show us the Presence of God’s Love beyond all appearances of differences in the dream.
