Seeing Beyond Appearances to Truth

Your brother has a changelessness in him beyond appearance and deception, both. It is obscured by changing views of him that you perceive as his reality. The happy dream about him takes the form of the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect freedom from all forms of lack, and safety from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is proof he is not bound by loss or suffering in any form, because it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it was never real, and could not stem from his reality. For that is changeless, and has no effects that anything in Heaven or on earth could ever alter. But appearances are shown to be unreal because they change. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.VIII.2:3-9)

While we believe we are separate individuals, we cannot see beyond appearances. We need help from beyond the thought system of separation to see the Truth that is hidden by appearances. The Truth in everyone is the one Self that God created. If we are willing to open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s vision, He will show us the changeless Love that is the Truth in every brother and ourselves.

This vision shows us only innocence, wholeness and changeless Love. Because it is changeless and whole, the truth of perfect freedom, health and total abundance is seen clearly.

From this perspective, it is clearly recognized that no appearance has an effect on the Reality of our brothers and our self. Forgiveness comes naturally when we realize that no appearance has any effect, harm is impossible, there is no cause for guilt and we remain Love as Love created us.

Today we again practice letting the Holy Spirit be our Interpreter of all appearances throughout the day.
