Choosing Christ’s Vision as Our Guide

It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the Mind is His. And so it must be yours. [Christ’s] Holiness directs the body through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto Himself; nor any differences perceived to stand between the aspects of [Christ’s] Holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting Love.

You are the means for God; not separate, nor with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in love celestial and so complete it wishes only that it may release all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each body that it looks upon, and brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and nothing hides the face of Christ from its beholders. You and your brother stand before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you separate and apart. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.I.1;4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Christ is the part of our mind that knows the Son of God is one. Christ’s vision sees past bodies to the truth in every brother. In the dream of separation, the one Son of God appears as many in separate bodies. But Christ’s vision in our minds overlooks the images of separation and sees the oneness we all share as God’s one Son. With this vision we automatically join with our brothers, for the veil of separate images is lifted and we see the truth. This vision cannot be seen with the body’s eyes, but only with the vision of Christ in our mind.

To know our true Self, we must use Christ’s vision to look upon the Light in our brothers. What we see with this vision shows us what we are. As we let this vision guide us we release the world from our dream of separation and we join with the one Son in the heart of God. Here we know that we are Love and nothing else; we know and experience God’s peace and joy. Today we choose Christ in our mind as our Guide for seeing.
