Reinterpretation Shows Me Light

In the past 13 years, I’ve written many of these “dailies” based on events which transpire with my next door neighbor. He has been vehement in his condemnation of me for many reasons, all of which I have viewed as fiction. Yesterday he came to my house and asked for advice; today it seems we are friends and he called on the phone with many things to tell me. Oh my. Now, I see this Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson: “Where darkness was, I look upon the light.” At one point in our conversation today, he told me of his church ostracizing him, and he was sad that people see him as a troublemaker. He kept insisting he was a good person, and I was honestly able to tell him that was how I saw him. I told him that no matter the circumstances, I saw him as a reflection of divine Love. By a reinterpretation of events, I found in my memory scenarios in which he was kind and caring. I assured him he was loved by God. I take these events of the past two days to mean that anything is possible, and I will go forward with an expectation of the best possible results. Namaste… 

“Where darkness was I look upon the light. Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own.


“Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the End we seek, and He the Means by which we go to Him.”

A Course in Miracles W-302.1:1–2:3


“Light is a symbol of Mind, of Life, Truth, and Love, and not a vitalizing property of matter. Science reveals only one Mind, and this one shining by its own light and governing the universe, including man, in perfect harmony.”

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 520:27-1
