Remember that in every attack [seeing separation] you call upon your own weakness, while each time you forgive [see oneness] you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.62.3)
To see clearly we need to remove the barriers to seeing. If a window is dirty, we clean the window so we can see more clearly. Likewise, if we want to see truth clearly, we need to clear away the false images that interfere with seeing truth. Images of separation are interferences that keep us from seeing the truth of our oneness in Love.
Forgiveness is the means for clearing away the interferences to seeing the truth. Through forgiveness we let go of our focus on images of separation and clear the way for Christ’s vision, which shows us our oneness with all things in Love. The ego cannot help us with this. In fact the ego is the interference that blinds us to Christ’s vision.
We need to turn to the Guide in our mind given us by our Creator to lead us out of the dream of being separate. If we are willing, our inner Guide will show us what lies beyond the images of separation. This inner Guide offers us the strength of God to help us redirect our focus from false images to the truth that we remain Love as Love created us. This strength supports us in seeing that Love everywhere.
Joining with our inner Guide as we go through the day so that we can be shown the vision of Christ is the path to happiness. It is the path to remembering and accepting our true Self. It is the path that leads us Home.
