The world you see is an illusion of a world.
The body’s eyes are therefore not the means by which the real world can be seen, for the illusions that they look upon must lead to more illusions of reality. ²And so they do. ³For everything [the body’s eyes] see not only will not last, but lends itself to thoughts of sin and guilt. ⁴While everything that God created is forever without sin and therefore is forever without guilt.
²The one correction possible for false perception must be true perception. ³It will not endure. ⁴But for the time it lasts it comes to heal. ⁵For true perception is a remedy with many names. ⁶Forgiveness, salvation, Atonement, true perception, all are one.
This is the shift that true perception brings: What was projected out is seen within, and there forgiveness lets it disappear.
O my brothers, if you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is. ²Hallowed your Name and His, for they are joined here in this holy place. ³Here He leans down to lift you up to Him, out of illusions into holiness; out of the world and to eternity; out of all fear and given back to love. (A Course in Miracles, C-4.1:1;2;3:2-6;6:1;8:1-3)
If we want true perception, we must be willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s gift of Christ’s vision. His is the vision that sees past the veil of illusions to the presence of Love everywhere. This is the healing everyone in the world yearns for in their heart. For the Love we are desires only to be acknowledged.
The world is the expression of the ego’s denial of Love. All its illusions are built upon the one idea that separation from the Love of God is real. Yet this could never be because only Love is real. Nothing else can exist, except in fantasy.
We choose the vision of Christ today by holding our heart and mind open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Under His lead we will have a joyful, peaceful day.
