Forgiving Our False Perceptions

²Neutral thoughts are impossible because all thoughts have power. ³They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. ⁴But thoughts cannot be without effects. ⁵As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. ⁶My thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. ⁷They must be one or the other. ⁸What I see shows me which they are.

²What I see witnesses to what I think. ³If I did not think I would not exist, because life is thought. ⁴Let me look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. ⁵I know that my state of mind can change. ⁶And so I also know the world I see can change as well.

³I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has been changed. ⁴I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace tears, and abundance to replace loss. ⁵I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one. (A Course in Miracles, W-54.1:2-8;2:2-6;5:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 54 Insights.)

The world we see with the body’s eyes is false perception. It is the effect of a mind that has chosen to believe that separation is real. We are always free to make a different choice.

When we let the Holy Spirit help us forgive our mistaken choice, the real world reflects this choice. We see the reality of Love everywhere. We feel the certainty of Love’s oneness which protects us from all change. We are at peace knowing that we dwell in the Heart of Love.

We have help to choose this different way of seeing. We need only be willing to accept the help. The Holy Spirit does the rest. In gratitude our minds are healed. We remember we are Love and nothing else.
