Have I been superimposing my feelings onto my fellow humans? For the last decade, I’ve made a special effort to examine my beliefs and opinions about the political atmosphere. Fully realizing that when I point a finger at anyone, three are pointing back at me, I have made up a mythical me which I think of as above untruth and belief. I’ve convinced myself that I can differentiate between truth and lies, which brings a separation between myself and whomever I deem to be a liar. We all have a personal agenda, which can clash with another person with a personal agenda. I cannot change what anyone else thinks; only myself. As the daily lesson tells us: “I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth.” Today I shall release humanity from my false beliefs, thereby releasing myself. Namaste …
“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. 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 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.
“What could restore Your memory to me, except to 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.”
A Course in Miracles W-335.1:1–2:3
“Reasoning from cause to effect in the Science of Mind, we begin with Mind, which must be understood through the idea which expresses it and cannot be learned from its opposite, matter. Thus we arrive at Truth, or intelligence, which evolves its own unerring idea and never can be coordinate with human illusions."
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 467:29-3
