Seeing Past Appearances to Reality

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. It 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 has given us a very clear benchmark to help us recognize what is real and what is illusion: If it changes, it is not real. Everything we see with the body’s eyes changes. A rock seems to be changeless, but the Grand Canyon demonstrates that even stone changes over time.

With this benchmark, we can say unequivocally that the world we see is not real. This is good news. It means that we are not stuck with the world we see. If we are willing to receive the miracle offered us by the Holy Spirit, we will be given a new way of seeing.

This new way of seeing does not use the body’s eyes. It is the vision of Love that sees only formless Love everywhere in everything. It is why the early lesson states, “God is in everything I see.” We cannot see God with the body’s eyes, but we can know God through the Love that is our true Self. Nothing else exists.

Today we are willing to receive the Holy Spirit’s gift of miracles.
