ACIM Lesson 262 Contemplation

"Let me perceive no differences today."
This lesson emphasizes that we all share one life with God, and encourages us to look beyond the apparent differences of form to see the oneness of God's Child in everyone. It teaches that by perceiving no differences, we can recognize our unity and experience the peace that comes from this recognition. The lesson suggests that seeing others as strangers to ourselves or to God reinforces separation, while seeing the sameness in all allows us to remember our true identity as part of God. It concludes by affirming that we are eternally united in God's love as the holy Child of God.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 262 Let me perceive no differences today.

Father,

You have one child.

And it is this child that I would look upon today.

This child is your one creation.

Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one?

Why should I give this one a thousand names when only one name suffices?

Father,

Your child must bear your name,

For you created this child.

Let me not see your child as a stranger to myself.

Father,

Your child is part of me,

And I am a part of your child.

We,

Your children,

Are part of you,

Who is our Source.

Father,

We are eternally united in your love.

We are eternally the holy child of God.

We,

Who are one,

Would recognize this day the truth about ourself.

We would come home and rest in unity.

In our home there is peace,

And nowhere else can peace be sought and found.

Nothing unreal exists.
