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. Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows there; transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can see.
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.159.5:1-6:1;10. See also ACIM Lesson 159 Insights.)
Christ’s vision sees past appearances of sin and guilt to the holiness of God’s Son in everyone. Christ’s vision sees what Love sees. It sees only innocence. This is the vision that heals our minds and all our perceptions. It is the vision of forgiveness because Love does not condemn and sees only Itself.
We open our minds to Christ’s vision by asking, “How would Love see this? How would Love respond to this perception?” As we accept Love’s answer to these questions, the guilt that used to be our companion fades away. Hopelessness and sadness are replaced by joy and peace. The world we experience is transformed into the perception of the real world, the forgiven world. This practice is a gift we give ourselves.
