Opening Our Mind to Love’s Presence

…[God] wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him.

⁴God does not perceive at all. ⁵Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it.

These are the lessons God would have you learn. …⁵They are the same in fundamental content. ⁶It is this:

⁷Forgive, and you will see this differently.

Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but unforgiveness. ²Yet that is the content underneath the form. (A Course in Miracles, W-193.1:2;2:4-5;3:1,5-7;4:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 193 Insights.)

Perception is only needed when separation is accepted as real. This is why forgiving our perceptions is required to restore our awareness to the one Love we are. It is a very simple step. It only seems difficult because of the myriad forms the ego uses to hide the simple fact that perceptions are not real.

This is why all things are lessons God would have us learn. Every perception is used by the ego to support belief in separation. But perceptions can be given a different purpose. Offered to the Holy Spirit, perceptions become a means to forgive our investment in belief in separation.

Each perception forgiven opens our mind to receive the gift of Love God gave us in our creation as His one Son. As we forgive, the barrier to Love’s presence is weakened and Love’s Light is allowed to shine through.

Throughout today we remind ourselves that we can accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our perceptions and see the presence of Love.
