Learning True Perception

Mary:
This morning we were guided to read A Course in Miracles Text, Chapter 11, Section VIII. The Problem and the Answer. Paragraph 10 stood out to me:

In the real world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no division. Only loving thoughts are recognized, and because no one is without your help, the Help of God goes with you everywhere. As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for It, you will give It because you want It. Nothing will be beyond your healing power, because nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear in the presence of God’s Answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother, because this is what you will perceive in him, and you will see your beauty reflected in his.

My practice for today is to accept the Help of God by asking for It. I need this constant reminder to step back and ask for the real solution, instead of thinking I know on my own. I must not think that I understand what I perceive, because if I do I will forget that I do not know. My practice today is to step back and let Him interpret everything I see. And I give thanks.

Robert:
A key idea for me from today’s reading is that anything I interpret on my own is a self-deception. This is because believing that I am on my own is a self-deception. I have taught myself to believe this and I have taught myself wrongly. It is time to turn to the Teacher within, Who teaches the truth. The more I am willing to let the Holy Spirit be my interpreter of every perception, the happier I will be.

Because the Holy Spirit knows that only Love is real, He will teach me to not value the valueless forms of the world. As I let go of what I have valued in the world, the sense of incompletion and lack in the world will be replaced by the joy of wholeness and Love. This is all I really want. Through the practice of stepping back and being willing to be taught true perception, I will learn where true value lies. This is my practice today.
