Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers; only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns but only lilies [of forgiveness], gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves.
You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior [brother] stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.II.5:3-6;7:1-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We have the means to bring peace to the world. Through the Holy Spirit we have the vision to recognize illusion as illusion and know the truth that Love is all that is real. When we accept Holy Spirit’s vision, what we perceived as cause for guilt or fear fades as we welcome the Light of Love.
On our own, believing we are separate, this vision is impossible. But when we accept the Holy Spirit’s help, this vision is inevitable. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to transform every perception we offer him to true perception, which sees only innocence and oneness. It sees no cause for guilt or fear.
We dedicate today to accepting Holy Spirit’s help to transform our mistaken perceptions. For we would be savior to ourselves, our brothers and the world, according to God’s plan.
