The Christ in [every brother] is perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no dreams about him that you would prefer to seeing this. And you will see the Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your brother and in you.
This will you look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a dream allow uncertainty to enter here. Be not made guilty and afraid when you are tempted by a dream of what he is. But do not give it power to replace the changeless in him in your sight of him. There is no false appearance but will fade, if you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from which he is not free, if you would have him be but what he is. Why should you fear to see the Christ in him? You but behold yourself in what you see. As he is healed are you made free of guilt, for his appearance is your own to you. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.VIII.5:5-6:9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
All the pain, fear, anger and guilt we experience comes from just one mistake: Believing that the appearances we see in the world are real. As we let go of this mistaken belief, the innocence and joy of the Love that is true about every brother, including our Self, shines upon us with the Light of Truth. Fear is gone because it cannot coexist with Love. There is no guilt, for their is no harm in Love.
If we want to know the joy and peace of our true Self, united with all our brothers, we must relinquish our opinions and interpretations of everything we perceive in the world. We choose instead to let the Holy Spirit be our Interpreter of all appearances. He will help us see the Christ in every brother. This is the journey that will lead us to our Home in the peace of God’s Love.
