The world you see is an illusion of a world.
The body’s eyes are therefore not the means by which the real world can be seen, for the illusions that they look upon must lead to more illusions of reality. ²And so they do. ³For everything they see not only will not last, but lends itself to thoughts of sin and guilt. ⁴While everything that God created is forever without sin and therefore is forever without guilt.
²The one correction possible for false perception must be true perception. ³It will not endure. ⁴But for the time it lasts it comes to heal. ⁵For true perception is a remedy with many names. ⁶Forgiveness, salvation, Atonement, true perception, all are one. ⁷They are the one beginning, with the end to lead to Oneness far beyond themselves.
O my brothers, if you only knew the peace that will envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is. ²Hallowed your Name and His, for they are joined here in this holy place. ³Here He leans down to lift you up to Him, out of illusions into holiness; out of the world and to eternity; out of all fear and given back to love. (A Course in Miracles, C-4.1:1;2;3:2-7;8)
We have accepted an identity as a body, which is not real. Separate from other bodies and the world, it is incapable of recognizing the reality of Love’s oneness. We need a means to awaken from this mistaken identity. True perception is the way to return to awareness of our true Identity.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit, our true Self, to help us let go of our mistaken belief in a false identity. We want to see the Light of Love that unites us with every brother and our Father. We want to remember the peace that is our natural state. We want to return to Love.
