Willingness to See Love’s Reflection in the World

All things I think I see reflect ideas.

This is salvation’s keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. ²From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. ³These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own. ⁴From insane wishes comes an insane world. ⁵From judgment comes a world condemned. ⁶And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.

Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. ²Let me behold what only Yours [ideas] reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth. (A Course in Miracles,W-325. See also ACIM Lesson 325 Insights.)

The world we see reflects our wishes, projections of what we believe we want. The body and what it sees are reflections of the wish for specialness, to be different. Judgment is a constant activity, need to maintain the illusion of differences.

Our Father’s singular idea is that we remain eternally one with Him in His Love. Love is one and the same, always and forever. Love does no judge because It sees only Itself.

When we are willing to see with forgiving eyes, we welcome Love. We see only the Love we are reflected back to us. Today we join with our brothers in the practice of seeing only Love. That is how we will remember that we are Love, and nothing else.
