My holy brother, think of this awhile: The world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your thoughts. And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind, and choose the joy of God as what you really want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable, forever and forever.
Lay down your arms, and come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven’s peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay down the cruel sword of judgment that you hold against your throat, and put aside the withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.190.6:1-5;9:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 190 Insights.)
We can only judge if we first believe that we are separate from what we judge. Thus all judgment carries a built-in self-condemnation that we are separate, alone and lack God’s Love and joy and peace. This is why letting go of judgment is the key to happiness. It is the key to release from the hell of a world made to deny Love.
To look on the world with forgiving eyes, we must align with the Holy Spirit’s vision instead of seeing with the ego thought system of separation. Today we ask the Holy Spirit for His help to see all things as He sees them. As we accept His vision, we see the Love beyond all form. We see the peace beyond conflicting images. We feel the joy beyond the depressing appearances of being alone and incomplete. As we join with Holy Spirit, we take the path that leads us Home to Love.
