Seeing with the Vision of Christ

Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today.

Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 254, W-pII.254.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 254 Insights.)

While we perceive the world through the body’s eyes, ego thoughts will pass through our minds. Our practice needs to be to disconnect from those thoughts and let them go. We are not the ego, and the thoughts of the ego thought system are not ours. The key to release and forgiveness is to not see value in the ego’s thoughts. As we withdraw the values we have given the world of separation, we are less and less disturbed by appearances. They become more easily recognized as having no substance and being unable to harm us in any way.

Our practice today is to observe the ego’s thoughts, recognize that we do not want to keep them and turn them over to the Holy Spirit. He will shine the Light of Love upon them and they will fade away. In their place the vision of Christ will come forward in our minds and we will see our brothers as one with us in Love.
