I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.
Forgiveness is a choice. ²I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. ³What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. ⁴It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. ⁵I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. ⁶My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. ⁷And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.
What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? ²His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. ³In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-335. See also ACIM Lesson 335 Insights.)
To see our brothers sinless, we must let Christ’s vision show us the Love he is beyond the form of the body. Love is one and has no form. When we let go of our wish for form to be real, which is the wish for specialness, we see the truth that unites us all in the Love of our Creator. When we are no longer attached to our own identity as a body, we are able to accept the one Self we share with every brother.
To help us make the transition from identifying as a body to seeing ourselves as one with all in Love, we have the Holy Spirit to be our Guide. He will help us see with the forgiving eyes of Christ. With this vision, we see past all form to our oneness with our Creator. We identify as God’s one Son. Here is where we find peace and joy.
