Forget not that the motivation for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. Given this state [of peace] the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered is attained.
Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth, and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He is your eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His brother’s, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard, and where he will see nothing and there is no sound to hear. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.in.1:1-2;V.3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The thought system of separation sees “others” as separate, capable of harm, and deserving of judgment. But Love does not condemn and sees nothing to forgive. The Christ in us sees through forgiving eyes and so is eternally at peace.
To attain peace, we need to shift our allegiance from the belief in separation to the Christ within. As we join hands with the Christ and accept His vision, we see our brothers as wholly innocent and remember that we are innocent as well — and we are at peace.
Today we practice holding Christ’s Hand as we go through our day.
