Healing Is Seeing Beyond Appearances

Appearances deceive, but can be changed. Reality is changeless. It does not deceive at all, and if you fail to see beyond appearances you are deceived. For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form, and capable of change. Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it real, and keeps it separate from all appearances. [Reality] must transcend all form to be itself. It cannot change. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.VIII.1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The Course gives us a clear and easy benchmark to learn what is real and what is illusion. Reality is changeless. Whatever changes is always illusion. The body itself is constantly changing and therefore must not be our reality. What the changing body’s eyes show us is also constantly changing. Thus what we see in the world through the body’s eyes cannot be real.

Accepting this idea shakes the foundation of the world. Nothing in the world can be counted on for stability. The world is inherently unstable and therefore is not real. Recognizing this can be frightening until we realize that our reality is changeless, totally stable. We can count on the strength and certainty of our reality.

Yet if we believe that the world is real, we are unaware of the certainty that we remain changeless Love, as Love created us. We need to redirect our attention from focusing on the changing forms of the world to opening our minds to the vision of the Holy Spirit, which will always show us our changeless, loving foundation. This changelessness is always visible through our inner vision, the vision of our True Self.

We ask the Holy Spirit today to guide our vision. We open our minds to our Spiritual sight, with willingness to be shown the changeless Love that is ever present. With this Vision, we feel at peace because we see the reality that only Love is real.
