Rise Above to See Only Love

Forget not that you came this far together, you and your brother. ²And it was surely not the ego that led you here. ³No obstacle to peace can be surmounted through its help. ⁴It does not open up its secrets, and bid you look on them and go beyond them. ⁵It would not have you see its weakness, and learn it has no power to keep you from the truth. ⁶The Guide Who brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes you will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. ⁷But first, lift up your eyes and look on your brother in innocence born of complete forgiveness of his illusions, and through the eyes of faith that sees them not.

No one can look upon the fear of God unterrified, unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. ²No one can stand before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached this far unless his brother walked beside him. ³And no one would dare to look on it without complete forgiveness of his brother in his heart. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV-D.8:1–9:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our release from fear depends on our willingness to forgive our brothers for their illusions. What we see in others is a reflection of what we believe we are. When we can see the Love that is the truth in others, we learn that we are Love.

Vision that heals comes when we are willing to rise above what the body’s eyes see to let Christ’s vision show us Love’s innocence in a brother. No cause for fear is seen, for this vision sees only Reality. In Love, we join with our brothers to bring joy and peace to the world.
