The Means to Awaken to Love

I love you for the truth in you, as God does. Your deceptions may deceive you, but they cannot deceive me. Knowing what you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the Holy Spirit in you, Who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in whom God’s Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You will be answered as you hear the answer in everyone. Do not listen to anything else or you will not hear truly.

Believe in [the truth in] your brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is justified. Believe in me by believing in [the truth in] them, for the sake of what God gave them. They will answer you if you learn to ask only truth of them. Do not ask for blessings without blessing them, for only in this way can you learn how blessed you are. By following this way you are seeking the truth in you. This is not going beyond yourself but toward yourself. Hear only God’s Answer in His Sons, and you are answered. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.II.7-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We interpret the words we hear or read based on our past learning. These interpretations perpetuate the ego thought system. It perpetuates the belief in fear, guilt and loss. Most importantly, these perceptions are projections of what we believe is true about ourselves. This process is a closed loop that denies the truth in our brothers and ourselves.

This is why it is essential for our healing to practice turning over all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His true perception. The Holy Spirit knows that we remain only Love as God created us. He is not deceived by perceptions of separation, guilt and fear. If we pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of our brothers, we will learn to see them as one with us in Love. As He disregards the ego’s interpretations of words and behavior, He sees only the truth of Love in every brother.

When we accept the Holy Spirit’s vision, we recognize our brothers as one with us. With this recognition we learn that we are only Love. This is the message every brother offers us if we accept the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of the ego’s interpretations. Thus every brother offers us the means to awaken to the truth of What we are. We need only let the Holy Spirit show us the truth in our brother. This is the practice that will free us from fear and guilt.
