Christ’s Vision Is a Gift We Give Ourselves

Think who your brother is, before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy, and has been given the gift of holiness for you. Join him in gladness, and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed and tortured mind. Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you laid upon him and he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly and with happy laughter away from him. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.D.16:2-5 See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The Course tells us to not mistake the body for the Son of God. To see our brother truly, we must disregard what the body’s eyes show us and pay attention to what our inner spiritual vision shows us. Christ’s vision shows us our brother as pure Love, wholly innocent and united with our one Self. Our inner vision shows us the magnificence of our brother that is beyond words. As we accept this vision of our brother, it automatically translates to seeing ourselves in the same Light.

Think what a joyous day it would be if we let Christ’s vision dominate our awareness today. Seeming conflicts would fade. We would be experiencing the gift of Love coming back to us from everywhere because we would be seeing Love everywhere. Guilt would disappear because we would see only innocence with Christ’s vision. Giving our attention first to Christ’s vision is the gift we give the world and ourselves, for giving and receiving are the same. This is our practice today.
