ACIM Lesson 351 Contemplation

"My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold."
This lesson emphasizes the power of perception in our relationships, teaching that seeing our brother or sister as sinless leads to peace, while seeing them as sinful leads to pain. It encourages us to choose a loving and forgiving perspective, recognizing that our perception of others reflects our own self-perception. By choosing to see others as sinless, we affirm our own sinlessness and experience peace, security, and clarity.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 351 My sinless brother is my guide to peace.

My sinful brother is my guide to pain.

Father,

Who is my friend but your holy child?

If I see my friend as sinful,

I proclaim myself a sinner.

If I see my friend as sinful,

I proclaim myself alone and friendless in a fearful world.

This perception is a choice I make.

This perception I can relinquish.

Father,

I can also see my friend sinless as your holy child.

With this choice,

I see my own sinlessness.

With this choice,

I see my everlasting comforter and friend beside me.

With this choice,

I see my way secure and clear.

Choose then for me,

Father,

Through whom my higher self gives judgment alone in your name.
