I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.
Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception.
!!!!!!!! Amazing.
What my brother IS is far beyond perception. So what my body’s eyes show me is NOT what my brother is.
“What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings.”
I got a phone call this morning that disrupted all my plans for the day. Now I am practicing the lesson to see what comes next. It is never about trying to change external factors, but rather to take a quiet moment, relax, to realize “there are no accidents. Something is being offered to me” and then to allow the new plan to be revealed.
I’m not going to push my own agenda in this situation. I am simply going to remember the truth. I am going to remember my brother’s sinlessness. I am going to remember my own sinlessness. I am remembering THIS MOMENT is the only moment there is. There is nothing else. There are no plans. There is no today. There is no this week. There is no this year and there is no next year. There is only the memory of God, given back to me when I choose to remember it.
I am the light of the world.
From A Course in Miracles, Chapter 8, Section 5:
I am come as a light into the world which does deny itself everything. It does this simply by dissociating itself from everything. It is therefore an illusion of isolation, MAINTAINED by fear of the same loneliness which is its illusion. I have told you that I am with you always even to the end of the world. That is why I am the light of the world. If I am with you in the loneliness of the world, the loneliness is gone. You cannot maintain the illusion of loneliness if you are not alone.
My purpose, then, is to overcome the world. I do not attack it, but my light must dispel it because of WHAT IT IS. Light does not ATTACK darkness, but it does shine it away. If my light goes with you everywhere, you shine it away with ME. The light becomes ours, and you CANNOT abide in darkness, any more than darkness can abide anywhere you go. The remembrance of me is the remembrance of yourself and of Him Who sent me to you.
What tremendous freedom to not respond to events that my body’s eyes show me! What joy! A huge weight is lifted off you when you allow things to be EXACTLY as they are, without trying to change it.
What I see is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings.
I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.
Memory of God is restored to me as I see my brother’s sinlessness. His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.
