Remembering Our Oneness in Love

…judgment has no value unless the goal is sin [separation].

The body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack vision, and have denied the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is learned from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot look on sin [separation]. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this purpose seems to have a meaning, the means for its attainment will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and so you will not see.

Your question should not be, “How can I see my brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit’s goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he sees is free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision that made his seeing possible. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VII.7:7-9:8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Love does not condemn. It is one, indivisible, unlimited, changeless and eternal. Seeing a brother as a body is an attempt to limit Love, to separate off a part from Love that is different. Yet what is one can have no differences. Bodies cannot exist in the oneness of Love.

The image of a body is neither holy nor unholy. It was made by the ego for its unholy purpose of making separation seem real. We have taught ourselves to believe that this unreal image is real. But what denies the unity of God’s Love must be unholy. This is why the ego’s goal of separation is called sin. Only our belief in separation makes judgment seem justified.

We have the means to undo the ego’s teaching and remember our holiness in the oneness of Love. The Holy Spirit offers us vision that shows us the reality of our unity in Love with every brother. This vision is the means that leads to the acceptance of our holy relationship with every brother and our unity with our Father.

With the Holy Spirit’s teaching, we no longer give credence to the illusion of a body. Our attention now is on the changeless, limitless Love that is everywhere to be seen with the Holy Spirit’s vision. Now we find peace and happiness, for we accept the gifts God has given us.
