You see the flesh or recognize the spirit. ²There is no compromise between the two. ³If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite. ⁴There is no choice in vision but this one. ⁵What you decide in this determines all you see and think is real and hold as true. ⁶On this one choice does all your world depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or spirit in your own belief. ⁷If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. ⁸But choose the spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your holy sight, that you may see the world of flesh no more except to heal and comfort and to bless.
Salvation is undoing. ²If you choose to see the body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no sense at all. …⁶Salvation is undoing of all this. ⁷For constancy arises in the sight of those whose eyes salvation has released from looking at the cost of keeping guilt, because they chose to let it go instead.
Salvation does not ask that you behold the spirit and perceive the body not. ²It merely asks that this should be your choice.
Your will be done, you holy child of God. ²It does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. ³What your Father wills of you can never change. ⁴The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as light, as innocent as love itself. ⁵And you _are_ worthy that your will be done! (A Course in Miracles, T-31.VI.1:1–2:2,6–3:2;7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
We see a world of bodies and differences because we have identified with the ego thought system of separation. This choice prevents us from recognizing the reality of spirit, our true Identity. The grandeur of this Identity is so vast that the world of separation would disappear when we choose to accept spirit as what we are.
To free ourselves from a limited self identity we only need to let go of our defenses against our reality as spirit. Forgiveness is the way we make this choice. As we forgive the wish for a special identity, we open our mind to recognize the Love that unites us with all of Creation. This unity is the will we share with our Father eternally.
