Perception, guided by Spirit, leads us to knowledge. The One gave us Spirit to guide our perception, for perception is of the world. As with an\ything of the world, perception has a correct use and an incorrect use. Left to our egoic thought system, which is aligned with the belief in separation, perception is based on an error that believes the past is real. But guided by Spirit, perception can guide us to the awareness that all reality is One and that there is no separation. Reality can be seen in all aspects of the world if we will allow Spirit to guide our perception. Glimpsed in parts, Reality resonates within us for we never really left frailty. But while we believe we are separate, Spirit will show us glimpses of reality until we completely relinquish the past and our belief that the past is real.

The very real difference between perception and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all knowledge. Perception, at its loftiest, is never complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. Perception can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last forever. T-13.VIII.1-8

The miracle is our release from the past. This is our healing. Spirit is the only healer in the sense that Spirtit os our guide in changing our perception. Healing is the return of our awareness to our reality and our eternal nature. Knowledge is the knowing without any doubts that all creation is One and that we are complete and One with each other right now as we were created. Nothing other than completeness and wholeness is real. Allow perfect perception to rise in your mind as Spirit guides your thoughts and find yourself at the edge of knowledge. This miracle has no function in Heaven, but is needful here in this world. See the aspects of reality where Spirit replaces the aspects of unreality. As we allow more and more aspects of reality to rise in our mind, they gather together as one to bring us into the awareness of eternity.

Be the vision of the Spirit. See with Spirit eyes and hear with Spitt ears. Miracles occur and we see differently.

This is the miracle of creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Child of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness, and enabling the world to see. For light must come into the darkened world to make Christ’s vision possible even here. Help Spirit to give the gift of light to all who think they wander in the darkness, and let the One gather them into the quiet sight that makes them one. T-13.VIII.5.1-6

Return to the awareness of Oneness. Share that oneness with all you encounter. See it in all you see and hear. The awareness of your wholeness is there for you to embrace. Let your mind be guided by Spirit’s clear bright light and you will surely remember who you really are.
