Perception has a focus. It is this that gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift, to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before. Remove your focus on your brother’s sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond.
We seek for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it with no concern but now.
For the past is gone; the future but imagined. These concerns are but defenses against present change of focus in perception.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 181, W-pI,181.2;3:5-6;5:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 181 Insights.)
As we consistently ask to see as Holy Spirit sees, we see the Light of Truth in everyone… We see the Holy Spirit in everyone… We see that they are still perfect Love as God created them…
We practice this today in each now moment. If we notice our intent slipping away, we just renew our focus and dedication to see as Holy Spirit sees. We want to see the Truth. We want to feel God’s peace and joy as we see with Him. We want to feel and extend the Love for every brother as the Holy Spirit does.
As this practice gets stronger and stronger with our single intent, we feel so loved… This Love overflows continuously to every brother we encounter or even think of. Love carries us through the day and our happiness overflows into every aspect of our lives. All this comes with seeking to see only innocence now.
