The Practice That Leads to Love

You look still with the body’s eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers; only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves.

You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior [brother] stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been given the strength to look upon this final obstacle, and see no thorns nor nails to crucify the Son of God, and crown him king of death.

Your chosen home is on the other side, beyond the veil. It has been carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you now. You will not see it with the body’s eyes. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.II.5;7:1-8:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Every brother is our savior when he is seen truly with the Holy Spirit’s vision. His vision sees only the Love that is the true Self in everyone, including ourselves. This Self unites us all in Love’s oneness.

When we believe what the body’s eyes see is our reality, we do not see our brother truly. We see the ego-made barrier which hides the presence of Love. As long as we rely on the body’s limited vision, we are bound to the dream of pain, lack, guilt and fear.

In every instant we can choose the Holy Spirit’s vision. This choice brings Light to our mind, dispelling the barriers to Love’s presence. We open our hearts and minds to this healing Light by frequently asking Love to guide our seeing. The more we practice the more we free ourselves from the dream. It is a journey that takes us Home to the peace, joy and Love of Heaven.
