We Have the Power to Bless the World

Projection makes perception. ²The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. ³But though it is no more than that, it is not less. ⁴Therefore, to you it is important. ⁵It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. ⁶As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. ⁷Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. ⁸Perception is a result and not a cause. ⁹And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. ¹⁰Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. ¹¹Nothing perceived without it means anything. ¹²And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.

Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. ²See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. ³If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. ⁴If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. ⁵There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. ⁶And you will see the witness to the choice you made, and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. ⁷The world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to see in you, and to accept as yours. ⁸And, if this is its meaning, then the power to give [the world] joy must lie within you. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.in.. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our world seems to be a chaotic place of conflict, attack. Fear and guilt, attack and defense seem justified. But we see this only because we chose to value specialness over our unity with the Love of our Creator. We see only a reflection of what we believe we are.

In every moment we have the opportunity to join with the Will of God to see the reality of Love all around us. We ask the Holy Spirit help us see with His vision. As we accept His help, we will see a loving world, filled with joy and hope. With this vision we bless the world.
