Seeing My Brother as My Counselor

My holy Self abides in you, God’s Son.

Father, You gave me all Your Sons, to be my saviors and my counselors in sight; the bearers of Your holy Voice to me. ²In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self. ³Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. ⁴Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. ⁵Let not Your Son forget his Name is Yours.

This day we enter into Paradise, calling upon God’s Name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us; united in the holy Love of God. ²How many saviors God has given us! ³How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the world with those who point to Him, and given us the sight to look on them? (A Course in Miracles, W-266. See also ACIM Lesson 266 Insights.)

Everyone we meet has the potential of being our counselor as the bearer of God’s Voice, if we see him truly. How we see our brothers depends upon our willingness to see the truth in him. His Self is our Self, for we are one in the Mind of God.

If instead we choose to see our self separate from our brother, we see him reflecting our belief that we are separate, different and in competition for the specialness we seek. Our wish for specialness denies the one Self we share with our brother. That Self is hidden by our projections.

Today we ask ourselves, “Am I seeing the truth in my brother or am I seeing images of my mistaken beliefs reflected back to me?” In either case every brother has the potential of teaching us the truth of What we are. If we see him truly, we see that he is what we are. If we see our projection with willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s interpretation of it, our brother becomes our teacher.

Today I choose to recognize every brother as my counselor, offering me the opportunity to heal my fear-based thoughts with the Holy Spirit’s help.
