I will not use the body’s eyes today.
Father, Christ’s vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body’s eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time which ends forever, as Your memory returns to him. And now [Your Son’s] will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your Own, and every thought except Your Own is gone.
The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole; the holy Son whom God created one. (W-pII.270)
The world we see reflects the identity we have chosen as our own. The body’s eyes are part of the separate identity we believe we are. This “seeing” can only show us images of separation which confirm what we believe we are. The world we seem to see is a dream built upon the belief that we have lost our connection to our Source. As long as we continue to believe what the body’s eyes show us, we are unaware of our true Self, which remains forever at Home in the Mind of God.
We need to question everything the body’s eyes show us. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us see beyond what the body’s eyes see with the vision of Christ. Christ sees only the reality and innocence of Love or calls for Love. As we practice seeing with Christ vision, the appearances in the world have diminishing effect on our peace of mind. We learn that nothing can harm our true Identity. Loss is impossible. Fear has no foundation in Love’s Reality. We become increasingly secure in the knowledge that we are safe at Home in God’s Love.
