VI. The Vision of Christ, P 4
4 Correction is for all who cannot see. To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy Spirit’s mission, for He knows that they have not lost their vision, but merely sleep. He would awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of God. Christ’s eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as yours. The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will learn to re-invest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.

Christ will look on what I see with love, and this will be the real world. My eyes will be opened to the truth and how glorious it will be to see my illusion transformed! This is not hard because nothing needs to change, really. My eyes are closed in sleep and I dream of conflict, of anger and fear and guilt. I am being awakened ever so gently, by one who knows me and loves me.
Christ is awake and He sees the real world, and will share that vision with me. But for me to see it, I must become convinced that what I see now is not reality, then I must become convinced that I don’t have to see it anymore and that I don’t want to see it. Until I believe this, I will keep my eyes closed and continue to dream.
I am ready to wake up, though. That is why the Course is in my life and why I do the work asked of me. I look at my story and realize it is a reflection of the beliefs I am holding in my mind. I ask the Holy Spirit what it all means and He judges it as all simply not true. It is not true. I am not vulnerable. I am not a victim. I am not sad or afraid. The world is not a threat. No people are attacking me, and I don’t want to attack them.
That is the simple truth. I mostly believe it now, because I am no longer in a deep sleep. I am rousing from my long slumber. But I still am not fully awake, and so I continue to dream and sometimes to become confused about the dreams and believe in them. Some ideas still attract me, and some stories still scare me. But I continue to look with Holy Spirit and my sleep becomes lighter, reality closer. God so loves me that through the Holy Spirit He blesses the world I made, and the ego world is transformed right before my eyes.
