The Course equates our vision or lack thereof with the two emotions; fear which we made and love which we are given. When we chose to “see” with the body’s eyes which perceive incorrectly we feel fear in some form. When we choose to see with spirit vision, our higher vision, we feel love in all its wonder and compassion. The world we made when we chose separation and the denial of who we really are is devoid of the light of spirit and thus is darkness. It does nothing but reflect our perceptions of the past and thus we live in fear of the past recurring. We adapted our body’s eyes to see our perceptions of the past projected on the limits of this little world we made. Yet, we have the ability to see clearly when we allow the light of sprit to shine in our world and reveal the correct perception of everything we have misperceived. Within us is the Christ Spirit which is our true One Self hidden from our sight by our belief that we are less than our One Self. Once we choose to allow ourselves to be even a little willing to allow Spirit to show us the Christ Spirit within us, our true vision rises to our awareness and we begin to understand all that we have misperceived and thus believed about the world and ourselves.
We begin to realize that it is our own state of mind and our own belief about ourselves that has limited our world because it has limited our idea of ourselves. We have perceived the world around us as limiting and destructive when it has been offering us opportunity after opportunity to heal our sight and recognize the wholeness and completeness and divinity of who we really are. The way to tell where our mind is at is by what we are feeling. Are we feeling love or fear? If we feel fear in any form, our mind is set on the choice to deny our true identity by believing we are less than who we really are. Yet, a simple shift in our belief will bring the feeling of unconditional love into our mind, changing our perception of all those challenging things in our world. Love is what our true vision is about. Love is the basis of our true purpose and function. Love is what brings our world together with worlds of others in true harmony as we share love with each other. Turning to and allowing Spirit to guide us is the path to the remembrance of who we really are. We never un-became who we are – that is impossible – but we can block our awareness of who we are by denying or believing we are less than who we are. The emotions we feel then indicate where our mind is at and nothing else.
We are asked to let the light of Spirit shine in our world. Where there is darkness, it will vanish in the light for darkness cannot be seen in light. As we allow the barriers to light we have made to fall, there are no shadows left to remind us of the darkness of the world we made. This light is within us. We have been denying it as we made and reinforced our beliefs that the world we made of our misperceptions is real. The Christ Spirit within us is the true identity we share with all our brothers and sisters. It is the whole complete, limitless and divine nature we really are. And our shift to this awareness is in the present moment. It is not in the past nor is it in the future. It is in the light of now. This is the Course’s promise:
The Holy Spirit is the light in which Christ – our true Self – stands revealed. And all who would behold their true Self can see their true Self, for they have asked for light. Because they saw their true Self, they have risen in Spirit to the Creator. And all this will they understand, because they looked within and saw beyond the darkness the Christ – their true Self – in them, and recognized themselves. In the sanity of their true Vision they looked upon themselves with love, seeing themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the truth in them came all the beauty of the world to shine upon them. T-13.V.11.1-2, 4-7
We are love. We are light. We are the Divine beings we really are. Nothing can change that fact. Experience love and allow that joy to rise within you and be who you really are.
