Christ’s vision is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love which never dies, but has been kept obscure. Christ’s vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real world pictures Heaven’s innocence.
Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness.
This is the Holy Spirit’s single gift; the treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for all the things that can contribute to your happiness.
Behold the store of miracles set out for you to give. Are you not worth the gift, when God appointed it be given you? Judge not God’s Son, but follow in the way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His gift, whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life; from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 159. W-pI.159.3;5:1-2;6:1;10, See also ACIM Lesson 159 Insights.)
Christ’s vision carries us from seeing a world of separation and guilt to a world made holy through forgiveness. Like forgiveness, Christ’s vision is an illusion, but one that leads to Reality and lets illusion go. While we believe in a world of separation, we need this bridge.
We access Christ’s vision by being willing to bring all our perceptions to the vision of Christ within our minds. This vision sees past illusions and shows us the innocence and Love that is ever present, beyond appearances.
As we offer this vision to our brothers, we teach him of his innocence and love. And as he learns of his innocence and love, the gift is automatically returned to us. We recognize our wholeness as we recognize our brother is one with us. The gift given to our brother is given to ourselves. Today we welcome Christ’s vision that we may learn of our wholeness and our oneness with our brothers.
