It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he will see only the sinless, who can not attack.
Walk you in glory, with your head held high, and fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth releases everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and fear and happily returned to love. They share the strength of love because they looked on innocence. And every error disappeared because they saw it not. Who looks for glory finds it where it is. Where could it be but in the innocent?
Let not the little interferers pull you to littleness. There can be no attraction of guilt [temptation to judge] in innocence. Think what a happy world you walk, with truth beside you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a little sigh of seeming sin, nor for a tiny stirring of guilt’s attraction. Would you, for all these meaningless distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far beyond them, in the clean place where littleness does not exist. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.in.2:4-4:6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The world of bodies and images of forms only seems real because of our belief in it. Our life experience has shown us that our beliefs can change. This experience assures us that we can change our belief about the world and its seeming reality. Our ability to change our beliefs is the means the Holy Spirit uses to free us from the limitations of the world and open our minds to the truth that only Love is real.
If we are willing to let the Holy Spirit teach us to see as He sees, we can learn to see the innocence of Love everywhere. His vision shows us the reality beyond the images of the world. With His vision, we know there is nothing outside us that can harm us, for Love is one. With His vision, we see the innocence and harmlessness of Love. We are certain of our safety, for we have accepted the strength of God’s Love. The choice for Holy Spirit’s vision in place of what we see with the body’s eyes and the world is the choice of Heaven in place of hell. it is the choice for our Life in God in place of choosing death by believing in separation.
Today we would make no judgments on our own. We let Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf. His singular judgment of everything is that it is real or unreal; what is not real is nothing. As we accept His judgment, we welcome God’s Love as our Identity.
