Letting the Holy Spirit Heal Our Misperceptions

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)

The thought of separation makes a world where every perception brings with it an underlying fear. Even our happiest perceptions seem unstable, temporary at best. There seems to be a constant need to protect against loss and harm. But there is another way of seeing the world.

If we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help, our perceptions can be given a new purpose. His Light in our minds will reveal the certain foundation of peace that was hidden behind our false perceptions. As these perceptions are forgiven, we remember our Father’s gifts of perfect peace and universal Love without limit.
