The Transformative Power of Christ’s Vision

³Christ’s vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there. ⁴The darkened glass the world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. ⁵The real world pictures Heaven’s innocence.

³It [Christ’s vision] is the bond by which the giver and receiver are united in extension here on earth, as they are one in Heaven. ⁴Christ beholds no sin in anyone. ⁵And in His sight the sinless are as one. ⁶Their holiness was given by His Father and Himself.

Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds. ²And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness. ³Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows there; transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them. ⁴Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can see.

This is the Holy Spirit’s single gift; the treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for all the things that can contribute to your happiness. (A Course in Miracles, W-159.3:3-5;4:3–6:1. See also ACIM Lesson 159 Insights.)

We have the means within our minds to see a world that is a clear reflection of Heaven. This cannot be seen with the body’s eyes, which deny reality and can only see illusions. What we choose to see is determined by what we value. The wish for specialness denies Heaven.

Today we step back from our judgments of the world. We open our mind to receive Christ’s forgiving vision, which sees only innocence. It accepts the truth in everyone as Love and nothing else. With our emphasis on Christ’s vision, the images the body’s eyes present fade into the background. We welcome the happiness and peace of the real world in which we live.
