Offering Love to the World

Projection makes perception. ²The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. ³But though it is no more than that, it is not less. ⁴Therefore, to you it is important. ⁵It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. ⁶As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. ⁷Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. ⁸Perception is a result and not a cause. ⁹And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. ¹⁰Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. ¹¹Nothing perceived without it means anything. ¹²And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.

Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. ²See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. ³If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. ⁴If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. ⁵There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. ⁶And you will see the witness to the choice you made, and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. ⁷The world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to see in you, and to accept as yours. ⁸And, if this _is_ its meaning, then the power to give it joy must lie within you. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.in.1–2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

To know what we believe about ourselves, we need only observe what we see in the world. Our perceptions give us immediate feedback about our beliefs. Our judgments about the world reinforce our sense of separation and isolation. They keep us bound to a dream that could never be true.

The way to wake up from this dream is to let the Love within lighten our vision to show us Love’s Presence. It is everywhere to be seen because it is all that is real. Today we choose Love to guide our seeing. We want to remember the Love we are and offer It to the world.
