Lesson 295 –
The Holy Spirit looks through me today.
Our journey in this world consists of the healing of our mind – learning to allow our mind to perceive correctly. Part of this healing is learning to allow our mind to see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, which abides within our mind. The Course often refers to this as seeing with Spirit eyes or Christ Vision. The Workbook lessons teach us to see differently. Another teaches, “I could see peace instead of this.” The practice is to learn to look beyond the appearance of things and allow our holy mind to show us realty rather than illusion or misperception.
Christ asks that Christ may use my eyes today, and thus redeem the world. Christ asks this gift that Christ may offer peace of mind to me, and take away all terror and all pain. And as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one. W-pII.295.1:1-7
Redemption is simply the correction of our vision, the healing of our mind. Redemption is our return to the awareness of who we really are. It is the recognition and remembrance of who we really are in Oneness. Something that has always been, is now, and always will be. We are complete, whole, and holy – nothing more and nothing less. We have denied our true essence and thus see ourselves separate for awhile. But our true nature is within us waiting for our recognition. The essence of our Higher Self remains in us. The only reason we don’t see this is our belief that we are not as we are created. A simple recognition and shift in thinking will reunite our mind in correct thinking. Though the world is no more than a dream, its holy purpose is to be the classroom where we learn to allow ourselves to return home to the truth of our natural essence.
Each person and each situation is an opportunity to allow ourselves to approach it with Spirit eyes, with Christ Vision and see clearly. The world we see transforms in this light. All darkness disappears in this light. We begin to understand and thus help each other on this journey we travel together. The lesson gives us this prayer to help us ask for guidance:
My Creator, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ today, and thus allow the Holy Spirit’s Love to bless all things which I may look upon, that Christ’s forgiving Love may rest on me. W-pII.295.2:1-2
Love is where this seeing will take us. Real Love is not a burden. It rests lightly on us yet carries us in holiness. The blessings of Oneness and love are infinite. They have no limit. And when we allow these blessings to flow into us, they flow to all the world. As it is blessed, the world transforms before our eyes to reveal that love is all there is. Be willing for this truth to be unfolded before you. This idea may seem insane at first, but it will become evident as we allow our eyes to be opened. Allow yourself to be blessed with Oneness and Love. You will find healing and wholeness there. And there you will find the greatest peace.
