Learning to Recognize Love’s Eternal Presence

Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. ²And from this dream the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. ³Dream of your brother’s kindnesses instead of dwelling in your dreams on his mistakes. ⁴Select his thoughtfulness to dream about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. ⁵Forgive him his illusions, and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave. ⁶And do not brush aside his many gifts because he is not perfect in your dreams. ⁷He represents his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you.

Brother, He gives but life. ²Yet what you see as gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to you. ³Let all your brother’s gifts be seen in light of charity and kindness offered you. ⁴And let no pain disturb your dream of deep appreciation for his gifts to you. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.VII.15–16. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Contrary to what our dreams of separation portray, our Father gives us only eternal life. God could no more take away the life He extends to His Son than could He cease to exist. His Love is eternal and changeless.

Together, we are God’s one Son. In the dream of differences, we can learn to see the kindness and blessings every brother offers us, no matter what appearances we may perceive. With the Holy Spirit’s help we can learn to see the Love that unites us with every brother. He will help us see beyond all appearances of form to the Love that continuously flows between our Father and the Son, whom He loves without limit. We are grateful for His Love.
