Learning to Offer Only Gifts of Love

As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays shining from them, so unlimited that they reach to God. ²It is this shift to vision that is accomplished in the holy instant.”

Our task is but to continue, as fast as possible, the necessary process of looking straight at all the interference and seeing it exactly as it is. ²For it is impossible to recognize as wholly without gratification what you think you want. ³The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. ⁴And both are nothing more than attempts to limit communication, and thereby to make it impossible. ⁵For communication must be unlimited in order to have meaning, and deprived of meaning, it will not satisfy you completely. ⁶Yet it [communication] remains the only means by which you can establish real relationships, which have no limits, having been established by God.

²Love would always give increase. ³Limits are demanded by the ego, and represent its demands to make little and ineffectual. ⁴Limit your sight of a brother to his body, which you will do as long as you would not release him from it, and you have denied his gift to you. ⁵His body cannot give it. ⁶And seek it not through yours. ⁷Yet your minds are already continuous, and their union need only be accepted and the loneliness in Heaven is gone. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.IX.1:1-2;2;4:2-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

While we identify with a body, the symbol of the ego, we believe bodies, and what they seem to do, are real. Unreal itself, the body can only see illusions. It cannot see the truth in anyone.

To break free from this cycle of belief and misperception, we need to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to look directly at the ego’s interference. With His help we see the nothingness of images of separation, and look past them to the Love that unites us with all Creation. As we let Love guide our seeing, we will rest in God’s peace and joyously offer only Love to all.
