ACIM T-21.III Faith, Belief and Vision

September 25, 2018

Faith and belief are tools that can be used to support separation or healing. We have believed we are limited to support our choice of separation. We can use the same faith and belief – guided by Spirit – to support the return to the awareness of our wholeness and limitlessness and Oneness. The guidance of Spirit is the key that makes the difference. Our journey to separation is taken alone, for it is guided by our egouc thought system, which has no real power. Our journey to joining is taken with all the support and guidance of Oneness and Spirit. Once we choose the journey to Oneness we cannot fail in that journey. We may take some off course junkets, but we will eventually get to our chosen destination as we allow our minds to be guided by Love and Peace.

Those who would free each other from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. As they desire to look upon each other in holiness, the power of their belief and faith sees far beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to recognize how much their faith had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. The miracles that follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness.   T-21.III.8:1-6

What are you willing to choose? Faith in limitation or faith in limitlessness. It is our choice to make whenever we choose. Though we may think the opposite, there is no sacrifice in aligning with Oneness and limitlessness, where aligning with limitation sacrifices everything real and true. Are you willing to give up sacrifice? We think we want our own little world where no one can touch or affect us. This world is very limited and small. Yet it has no power and cannot protect us from sacrifice. We give up so much for this limited world that results in misery and loneliness. Joining in Oneness with all of Heaven is truly the end of misery and limitation.

Our faith in sacrifice has given us the sight we see from our body’s eyes. It is so limited. The world we see is a distortion of reality. Our egoic thought system is incapable of perceiving what the body’s eyes see correctly. Its sight is forever skewed and distorted. It’s no wonder we are miserable and lonely. We do not see each other as we really are from this perspective. We have blocked the vision of holiness that permeates everything real. Wouldn’t you rather see the light of holiness than suffering and loneliness? We can redirect our faith and belief to align – just a little – with the holiness we are. We can be willing to see through the light of our holy eyes, unclouded by misperception and the belief in separation.

The body was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the light of vision it is looked upon quite differently. You can have faith in it to serve the Holy Spirit’s goal, and give it power to serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their seeing they look past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given back to what produced them, and can use them still to save itself from what it made.   T-21.III.12:1-7

Turn to the Spirit and what is holy in you. Look beyond the appearance of the world that is so distorted and allow your light of vision to rise within you. Sprit will guide you in aligning your mind with the light of holiness. Your sight will be transformed, and your vision of the world will be made new. No more need you dwell in darkness, when the light that dispels all darkness is within you as it has always been. Say yes to the light of holy vision.
