We Have Help to See Past Our Illusions

The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. ²The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. ³Nothing but rest is there. ⁴There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. ⁵And the sights are gentle. ⁶Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

The real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over, and God’s Son no longer sleeps. ²His waking eyes perceive the sure reflection of his Father’s Love; the certain promise that he is redeemed. ³The real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time purposeless.

…as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our forgiveness has restored to us. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.8.2;4;5:4)

Forgiveness brings peace to our mind troubled by conflicting images in a dream of specialness. Judgment reinforces the seeming reality of pain, fear, loss and lack of love.

The real world is seen through forgiving eyes, the eyes of Christ. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our fear-based thoughts. We want to see past our illusions to the presence of Love that is everywhere to behold.
