God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
Perception is not an attribute of God. ²His is the realm of knowledge. ³Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. …⁵With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge.
In God you cannot see. ²Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. ³Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. ⁴Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. ⁵Perception has no meaning. ⁶Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God’s. ⁷Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother, and thus forgives himself.
“You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. ²Whatever you do you do in Him, because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. ³If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit’s purpose, then you cannot see apart from God. (A Course in Miracles, W-43.1:1-3,5;2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 43 Insights.)
Perception is only needed where separation is believed to be real. But belief does not make real; it only makes illusions. God’s plan for our salvation saves us from our illusions. Illusions have no effect on Reality but if we believe they are true, Reality is unknown to us.
To provide a path of return to our Reality, God created the Holy Spirit as a bridge to lead us to true perception. This true perception shows us a forgiven world where we no longer hold illusions dear. Now our minds welcome our eternal unity in Love with our Creator. We return to the holiness we share with God.
