Blessings Come with Holy Spirit’s Vision

Judgment is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the idle game of death in your imagination. But vision sets all things right, bringing them gently within the kindly sway of Heaven’s laws. What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see, if you accepted this? And would you see it?

Hallucinations disappear when they are recognized for what they are. This is the healing and the remedy. Believe them not and they are gone. And all you need to do is recognize that you did this. Once you accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the power you gave [hallucinations], you are released from them. One thing is sure; hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that purpose is no longer held they disappear. Therefore, the question never is whether you want them, but always, do you want the purpose that they serve?

Only two purposes are possible. And one is sin [separation], the other holiness [unity]. Nothing is in between, and which you choose determines what you see. For what you see is merely how you elect to meet your goal. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.7:1-8:7;9:1-4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Judgment requires perception of differences. It separates off what is judged as different, making separation seem real. Judgment is the ego’s favorite toy because it justifies its seeming existence. The cost of playing with this toy is loss of awareness of our true Identity as Love and nothing else.

We have a choice between playing with the toy of judgment or accepting the Holy Spirit’s vision, which shows us the Love we share with everyone and everything. The choice for vision brings us the comfort of knowing we are loved without limit. It brings us the joy of sharing our Love with everyone. It brings us the certainty that nothing has changed God’s Son, our true Identity. We are truly invulnerable, for the Love and power of God is ours.
