Receiving the Blessing of Our Brother’s Love

Today we practice differently, and take a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to love. …³Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had prevailed before.

⁵The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. ⁶All hearing but brings to your mind the sounds it wants to hear.

Thus were specifics made. ²And now it is specifics we must use in practicing. ³We give them to the Holy Spirit, that He may employ them for a purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. ⁴Yet He can use but what we made, to teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in everything.

One brother is all brothers. ²Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one.

⁶Ask this of [your brother], that he may set you free:

⁷Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. ⁸I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my perfect sinlessness in you. (A Course in Miracles, W-161:1,3;2:5–4:2;11:6-8. See also ACIM Lesson 161 Insights.)

The body’s eyes and ears were made to perceive differences, which the ego mind interprets according to its wishes. But we are asked to give these tools to the Holy Spirit to be used for a different purpose.

The Christ Mind, our true Self, recognizes only the Love that is the truth in every brother. Instead of interpreting based on the ego’s wishes, the Christ Mind interprets all as one, for It only recognizes Love as real. When we recognize the Love that is our brother, we receive His blessings, for we see the Love in our true Self.

Asking our brother to give us his blessing is accepting the Love that unites us all as one. When we see with the eyes of Christ, we have let go of the ego’s wishes and accepted our Identity as universal Love.
