Remembering the Christ in Our Mind

The Christ in you is very still. ²He looks on what He loves, and knows it as Himself. ³And thus does He rejoice at what He sees, because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father. ⁴Specialness, too, takes joy in what it sees, although it is not true. ⁵Yet what you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. ⁶What you wish is true for you. ⁷Nor is it possible that you can wish for something and lack faith that it is so. ⁸Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. ⁹The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend itself. ¹⁰Except that one deludes; the other heals.

There is no dream of specialness, however hidden or disguised the form, however lovely it may seem to be, however much it delicately offers the hope of peace and the escape from pain, in which you suffer not your condemnation. ²In dreams effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream believes that what he made is happening to him.

Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? ²The Christ in you looks only on the truth, and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. ³He is at peace because He sees no sin. ⁴Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? ⁵[Christ] is your eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. ⁶How gentle are the sights He sees, the sounds He hears. ⁷How 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.V.1:1–2:2;3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We experience a world of separation, of fear and guilt because we identify with the ego. This mistaken identification leads us to believe we are a body, vulnerable and weak.

Fortunately we can change our identification. We can change what we believe we are. Christ is in us, now and forever. When we identify with Christ, we identify with our reality as Love. Love sees no need to forgive anything because harm is impossible in its unity. It is always at peace.

Today we remind ourselves that Christ is in our mind. We follow Christ’s vision and let It show us the Christ in every brother. With His vision, we see a forgiven world. We see Love everywhere and recognize It in ourselves.
