The Bridge to Heaven

Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness.

This is the Holy Spirit’s single gift; the treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for all the things that can contribute to your happiness. All are laid here already. All can be received but for the asking. Here the door is never locked, and no one is denied his least request or his most urgent need. There is no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet within this golden treasury of Christ.

No one will be turned away from this new home, where his salvation waits. No one is stranger to him. No one asks for anything of him except the gift of his acceptance of his welcoming. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 159, W-pI.159.5:1-2;6;7:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 159 Insights.)

Christ’s vision is in the mind. It does not see through the body’s eyes. When we focus our attention on Christ’s vision, we overlook the forms and things that appear to happen in the world. We do not deny what the body’s eyes seem to see, but we recognize they have no significance. What appears to happen in a world of form cannot affect the mind that remains an extension of the Mind of God.

Christ’s vision is still in the realm of perception, the part of the mind that believes in separation. But it is true perception because it recognizes that separation is meaningless and therefore no harm can happen in truth. Knowing harm is impossible in truth, Christ’s vision sees only innocence. Christ’s vision sees a forgiven world, the real world. This purified perception brings us to the door of Heaven, where we are welcomed into the unified Love of our Creator. We are welcomed Home.
