A Happy Practice

Father, Christ’s vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body’s eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. ²How glorious and gracious is this world! ³Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. ⁴The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time which ends forever, as Your memory returns to him. ⁵And now his will is one with Yours. ⁶His function now is but Your Own, and every thought except Your Own is gone.

The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. ²Christ is our eyes today. ³And through His sight we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole; the holy Son whom God created one. (A Course in Miracles, W-270). See also ACIM Lesson 270 Insights.

If we want to experience our unity with our Creator, we need to change our allegiance from a body identity to the Self God created as His Son. The body is a false image made by the ego as a substitute for God’s Creation. Our allegiance to the body blocks our awareness of our Self, Who is God’s Son.

When we give prominence to Christ’s vision in our minds, the images of a body and what it sees recede into the background. In the world those images still seem to be there. But through forgiveness, we pay less and less attention to them. We depend on Christ’s vision to show us the truth of Love’s presence beyond the ego’s images of separation. As we are willing to accept It, the Light of Love grows brighter and we experience the joy of joining with our brothers in the oneness of God’s Love. It is a happy practice.
