Christ’s vision has one law. ²It does not look upon a body, and mistake it for the Son whom God created. ³It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. ⁴It sees no separation. ⁵And [Christ’s vision] looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings and all events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.
This can be taught; and must be taught by all who would achieve it. ²[Christ’s vision] requires but the recognition that the world can not give anything that faintly can compare with this in value; nor set up a goal that does not merely disappear when this has been perceived. ³And this you give today: See no one as a body. ⁴Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness.
Thus are his sins forgiven him, for Christ has vision that has power to overlook them all.
…in your brother you but see yourself. ⁴If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. ⁵Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ’s vision shine on you, and offer you the peace of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-158.7:1–9:1;10:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 158 Insights.)
It sees only the reality of Love. Today we practice pausing to welcome peace in our mind. It is from a mind at peace that the Light of Love shines brightly, allowing Christ’s vision to look beyond worldly appearances.
As we let Love Light our way, we see our unity with every brother. Seeming conflicts fade, for Christ’s vision shows us we are all united in the oneness of God’s Love. With Christ’s vision, we see Love reflected back to us by every brother. The value of individuality is let go and the joy of joining in Love takes its place.
