“My holy vision sees all things as pure.”
In reflecting upon "my holy vision [which] sees all things as pure", a few instances come to mind when I have seen as God sees -- purely and without judgment. The commentary to today's ACIM lesson asks us to "Let all appearances seem pure .. that we may pass them by in innocence ...". Wow! I want to do that, don't you? Every day we have opportunities to see situations with "holy vision". Recently I've been involved in a circumstance which seemed to have no happy resolution, with someone being left out regardless of the good intentions held by all involved. I allowed about a hundred possibilities of action to pass through my head, before catching on to the futility of pondering these intellectual choices. After turning from the material picture, I settled into a quiet space of listening. Almost immediately an interesting possibility came to thought! And it was a very exciting option for all involved. Who knows where this will lead these two dear people when the idea is presented to them? I sure don't! But I have complete trust that the situation will be viewed through the pure vision of our real Being, allowing all the seeming problems to disappear into their actual nothingness, while revealing new perceptions and possibilities.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The age has not wholly outlived the sense of ghostly beliefs. It still holds them more or less. Time has not yet reached eternity, immortality, complete reality. All the real is eternal. Perfection underlies reality. Without perfection, nothing is wholly real. All things will continue to disappear, until perfection appears and reality is reached. We must give up the spectral at all points. We must not continue to admit the somethingness of superstition, but we must yield up all belief in it and be wise. When we learn that error is not real, we shall be ready for progress, ‘forgetting those things which are behind.’”
