The world is false perception. ²It is born of error, and it has not left its source. ³It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. ⁴When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world be seen in quite another light; and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. ⁵Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.
The world was made as an attack on God. ²It symbolizes fear. ³And what is fear except love’s absence? ⁴Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not, and where His Son could be apart from Him.
As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. ²Sounds become the call for God, and all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. ³Follow His light, and see the world as He beholds it. ⁴Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. ⁵And let Him give you peace and certainty…. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.3.1:1–2:4;4:1-5)
There is a Light in us the world cannot extinguish. It is the Light of our true Self — the Light of Love. As we are willing to take all our perceptions to this inner Light, It will shine upon our world. It shows us the Love that surrounds us. It reflects the Light we are.
To see the world with this true perception, we must forgive our judgments that hide the Light with thoughts of separation and fear. Fear is simply the effect of denying Reality. What it sees cannot be real. As we are willing to pause and step back from our perceptions and let peace return to our mind, we make way for the Light of Love to show us our true Home in the oneness of God’s Love.
Today we practice welcoming peace and letting Love show us the way Home.
