The Path Leading Us Back to Love

I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.

Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.

What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. (W-pII.335)

The body is an instrument for perception. Everything it sees, hears or feels is limited to the dream of separation. Perception cannot reach beyond the world of form. Forgiveness is the means to bring our perceptions to the point that perception is no longer needed or wanted. Forgiveness recognizes the world as having no meaning of its own and lets go of the meaning we have given it through our belief in separation. Forgiveness releases us from the dream of fear and guilt.

Each time we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see past appearances in the world to the presence of Love’s innocence, we move closer to the end of fear. We take another step in the undoing of the dream and the acceptance of the unity of Love that joins us with our brothers and our Creator.

Today we practice asking for the Holy Spirit’s help to see all things as He sees them. We choose the path that leads us to the remembrance that we remain within the Thought of Love Which created us.
