My sinless brother is my guide to peace.
My sinful brother is my guide to pain.
And which I choose to see I will behold.
I love this lesson. Somewhere in the Course it says something about your brother is designed to imprison/trap you to the dream/time and space AND to save you from the dream you made. Both functions. He is both your enemy and your savior depending on how you are using him for your own purposes. Are you letting him trap you in time in space with all his demands and questions and excuses OR are you seeing him as the Christ, realizing he is your ticket out of here??
In searching for this section on A Course in Miracles Online, I stumbled upon something else spectacular. I typed in the search words “your brother” and found these sections:
These sections all stand in shining brilliance as reminders of your function along with your relationship with your holy brother.
As you see yourself, you will see your brother.
If you see yourself as beautiful, your brother will look beautiful to you.
If you see yourself as guilty, ugly or limited … you will see your brother as treacherous.
If you think you are a body, you will think your brother is a body too … and it will not occur to you that among us are angels and messengers.
If you think you are human, you’ll think everyone else is human too. And you’ll feel threatened and afraid of everyone and everything.
But when you know there is nothing outside of you, you’ll be happy all day long. You’ll be crazy head-over-heels in love with everyone, and in this kind of bright light … all your problems disappear. Automatically and spontaneously.
As see yourself as a Mind, you will realize everything else is Mind also – alive and creative and magnificent.
As you see yourself as the Christ, you will recognize your brother as the Christ and it would NOT occur to you to condemn him, confound him or question him. You would simply love him. You would give him everything – all your attention, all your love, all your care – in the recognition that he is you.
Without attack there could be no forgiveness.
What you choose to see you will behold.
