It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. ²This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. ³It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces. ⁴The miracle is always there. ⁵Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. ⁶It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. ⁷You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.
³You do not doubt that the body’s eyes can see. ⁴You do not doubt the images they show you are reality. ⁵Your faith lies in the darkness, not the light. ⁶How can this be reversed?
…instruct yourself that you are not a body. ³Faith goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. ⁴Your will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do what it desires. ⁵You can escape the body if you choose. ⁶You can experience the strength in you.
³Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith.
…your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts. (A Course in Miracles, W-91.1;3:3-6;5:2-6;9:3;10:1. See also ACIM Lesson 91 Insights.)
Throughout the Course we are encouraged to let go of our attachment to the body. It is a limitation. It was made by the ego to support our belief that we are separate, alone and unique. The body is not what we are in truth.
God is Love and everything He creates is an extension of His Love. True vision comes with acceptance of His Love; with acceptance of the Love we are. Love is the Light that enlightens our world. In Love’s Light, we see the Love our brothers are and recognize It as our own.
We ask the Holy Spirit to help us free ourselves from our mistaken identification with the body. We ask His help to see as He sees, to know only Love is real. With this vision, we will find peace and happiness.
