ACIM Lesson 295 Contemplation

"The Holy Spirit looks through me today."

This lesson emphasizes surrendering our perception to the Holy Spirit, to guide us in how we see the world. It teaches that when we let Christ use our eyes, we see unity instead of separation, love instead of fear, and forgiveness instead of judgment. By offering this gift of perception, we invite peace into our minds and extend it to the world, recognizing that redemption is shared by all.

A Course in Miracles, Lesson 295. The Holy Spirit looks through me today. Christ asks that he may use my eyes today, And thus redeem the world. Christ asks to use my eyes that he may offer peace of mind to me, And take away all terror, And take away all pain. As pain and terror are removed from me, The dreams that seemed to settle on the world are gone. Redemption must be won. As I am saved, The world is saved with me. All of us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms, But love is one. Father, Christ has asked a gift of me. I give this gift, That it be given to me. Father, Help me to use the eyes of Christ today. Using the eyes of Christ allows the Holy Spirit's love to bless all things which I may look upon, So that the Holy Spirit's forgiving love may rest on me.
