We are eternally whole and One. There is no separation. We are as much One with God as God is One with us and we are One with each other. Nothing can change this. Nothing can take away from this. God’s creation is all-encompassing and all-encompassed. There is no other truth. And perception has no purpose in reality and truth.
But perception does have a purpose for each of us who have mistaken ourselves as anything other than who we really are. And all of us who think we are a body that feels, sees, hears, and touches are using the means of perception. We use perception every moment of every day. Though perception has no purpose in Reality, it has a Divine purpose in our journey back to the awareness of who we really are. Learning and understanding how we perceive is crucial to understanding how to correct our perception and see with the eyes of Spirit.
We must keep in mind that all perception is still not reality. It is never more than a means. But we tend to use perception to tell us that what we believe is real. Perception is the outward picture of what we want to be true. Understanding what perception is is the first step to returning to the awareness of who we really are. Perception is a means by which we evaluate all we experience and see. Once we realize we can change how we perceive, we can begin to move our perception closer to Truth and Reality. Though it will never take us all the way to Truth, it will bring us close enough for us to reach out and grasp God who will take the last step to wholeness for us.
Perception is not bound to specialness. Only our choice to make it so makes it appear so. We can choose to perceive differences, or we can choose to perceive Oneness. At any moment we can choose how we perceive. We can choose what we will use to perceive. Will we choose to use what the body sees, hears, and feels? Or will we allow the Spirit to show us with Spirit eyes and ears how to perceive and see the wholeness within each other? It’s our choice. Understand perception and choose well the means to return to the awareness of who we really are and have always been.
