*IAMBIC PENTAMETER*
WHAT IS IAMBIC PENTAMETER?

 

<AUDIO><VIDEO> 

 Voice and Music by CIMS SonShip Radio

   What has been given you? The knowledge that

   you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind,

   sinless forever, wholly unafraid

   because you were created out of Love.

   Nor have you left your Source, remaining as

   you were created. This was given you

   as knowledge which you cannot lose. It was

   given as well to every living thing,

   for by that knowledge only does it live.

 

   You have received all this. No one who walks

   the world but has received it. It is not

   this knowledge which you give, for this is what

   creation gave. All this cannot be learned.

   What, then, are you to learn to give today?

   Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme

   found early in the text. Experience

   cannot be shared directly in the way

   that vision can. The revelation that

   the Father and the Son are One will come

   in time to every mind. Yet is that time

   determined by the mind itself, not taught.

 

   The time is set already. It appears

   to be quite arbitrary. Yet there is

   no step along the road that anyone

   but takes by chance. It has already been

   taken by him, although he has not yet

   embarked on it. For time but seems to go

   in one direction. We but undertake

   a journey that is over. Yet it seems

   to have a future yet unknown to us.

 

   Time is a trick; a sleight of hand, a vast

   illusion in which figures come and go

   as if by magic. Yet there is a plan

   behind appearances which does not change.

   The script is written. When experience

   will come to end your doubting has been set.

   For we but see the journey from the point

   at which it ended, looking back on it,

   imagining we make it once again,

   reviewing mentally what has gone by.

 

   The teacher does not give experience,

   because he did not learn it. It revealed

   itself to him at its appointed time.

   But vision is his gift. This he can give

   directly, for Christ's knowledge is not lost

   because He has a vision He can give

   to anyone who asks. The Father's Will

   and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is

   a vision which the Holy Spirit sees

   because the mind of Christ beholds it too.

 

   Here is the joining of the world of doubt

   and shadows made with the intangible.

   Here is the quiet place within the world

   made holy by forgiveness and by love.

   Here are all contradictions reconciled,

   for here the journey ends. Experience,

   unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there.

   This is beyond our goal, for it transcends

   what needs to be accomplished. Our concern

   is with Christ's vision. This we can attain.

 

   Christ's vision has one law; it does not look

   upon a body and mistake it for

   the Son whom God created. It beholds

   a light beyond the body; an idea

   beyond what can be touched, a purity

   undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes,

   and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin.

   It sees no separation. And it looks

   on everyone, on every circumstance,

   all happenings and all events, without

   the slightest fading of the light it sees.

 

   This can be taught, and must be taught by all

   who would achieve it. It requires but

   the recognition that the world can not

   give anything that faintly can compare

   with this in value, nor set up a goal

   which does not merely disappear when this

   has been perceived. And this you give today;

   see no-one as a body. Greet him as

   the Son of God he is, acknowledging

   that he is one with you in holiness.

 

   Thus are his sins forgiven him, for Christ

   has vision which has power to overlook

   them all. In His forgiveness they are gone.

   Unseen by One, they simply disappear

   because a vision of the holiness

   which lies beyond them comes to take their place.

   It matters not what form they took, nor how

   enormous they appeared to be, nor who

   seemed to be hurt by them. They are no more,

   and all effects they seemed to have are gone

   with them, undone and never to be done.

 

   Thus do you learn to give as you receive.

   And thus Christ's vision looks on you as well.

   This lesson is not difficult to learn

   if you remember in your brother you

   see but yourself. If he be lost in sin

   so must you be; if you see light in him

   your sins have been forgiven by yourself.

   Each brother whom you meet today provides

   another chance to let Christ's vision shine

   on you and offer you the peace of God.

  

   It matters not when revelation comes,

   for that is not of time. Yet time has still

   one gift to give in which true knowledge is

   reflected in a way so accurate

   its image shares its unseen holiness;

   its likeness shines with its immortal Love.

   We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ

   today. And by the holy gifts we give

   Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well.

ACIM Edmonton - Sarah's Reflections 

ACIM Edmonton, CA

LESSON 158
Today I learn to give as I receive.
      
Sarah's Commentary:

I have spent a big part of my life trying to get approval, affirmation, recognition, and love from others. I wanted to be seen as helpful, smart, loveable, creative, supportive and a million other things. It was not until this Course came into my life that I learned that how I see myself is not dependent on how everyone sees me, but how I see them! Everyone is just a reflection of my mind! The only way that I can know the Self that I am as innocent and whole is to see my brother in the same way. It is to see with Christ's vision and not with my own interpretation of who my brother is. This learning is dependent on taking responsibility for my projections on others, by seeing that they all come from my own mind. In other words, the judgments I have about myself are what I see in others. They are shadows of what I don't want to acknowledge in myself. The people in our lives that we tend to attract that are particularly annoying to us are those who reflect this shadow side of ourselves that we are unwilling to acknowledge. We would rather blame them and judge them than take responsibility for our projections, yet healing happens when we take back our projections and bring them to the Holy Spirit, Who will shine them away. Now space is made for the miracle.

It is not about striving to get others to see me in the way I want to be seen, but to clean up my projections on others instead and see that it is all coming from my own unhealed perceptions. Thus, everyone is a mirror in which I see myself. "This lesson is not difficult to learn, if you remember in your brother you but see yourself." (W.158.10.3) It is not how you see me, but how I see you, that reflects the state of my mind.
 
"If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself." (W.158.10.4) Our practice today is about seeing with the eyes of Christ. "Today I let Christ's vision look upon all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead." (W.349) Or, as the prayer in Lesson 295 says, "Help me to use the eyes of Christ today, and thus allow the Holy Spirit's Love to bless all things which I may look upon, that His forgiving Love may rest on me." (W.295.2.2) To see with Christ's vision is to see the innocence in our brothers.
 
The Lesson starts with the reminder that we get over and over in this Course. It is that our reality is totally sinless, purely spirit, invulnerable, created out of love and that there is nothing that we can do or have done to change our reality. That is what the Atonement Principle is about: assuring us that we are still the same as we were created, holy, pure and innocent.  Regardless of what terrible things we judge ourselves for, we can't change the truth of who we really are. Yes, we have blocked awareness of our reality, but that does not mean that we can change the Self that we are. Our entire work with the Course is to remember the truth about ourselves that we have kept hidden from awareness. It can only be accomplished when we look at our misperceptions and bring them to the truth.

We believe that our reality is a body and a personality with a story that we tell of our lives in the world. None of this is true. We are not these bodies that we identify ourselves with. Neither are we our past, our mistakes, our 'sins,' our sadness, our roles, our self-concepts, or our stories. Nothing I believe that I have done in my years on this planet have changed anything about my reality as a Mind, which is and always has been forever sinless. Christ's vision looks past the body to the Son of God as He really is and sees the light of holiness there. Christ's vision "beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin." (W.158.7.3) There is no specialness in this love, as it is not selective. Everyone is the same. Everyone has the same light of divinity within and shares the same need to wake up from this dream.
 
Differences were made by the ego so that we could project our own guilt onto others. Thus, we see the guilt in them. That way we could claim our innocence at the expense of our brother's perceived guilt. It is innocence that is bought at their expense in the belief that we can avoid punishment from a wrathful god whom we hope will see us as the victim of attacks that are not our own. This is just a ruse, and somewhere in our minds we know that this is so.

When we see bodies and what they seem to do in the world, we see a lot of sinful behavior with acts of attack, murder, wars, betrayals, competition, and thievery, etc. It is important to recognize that, while the form of the attacks differs, in the end it is our sins that we are putting onto others. No, I have not murdered anyone, nor have I killed anyone in war, but the murderous thoughts are the same. They kill my peace of mind and make me forget who I am. While I prefer to see the wrongdoing in my brothers, the error in the mind is the same. It is my own guilt that I conveniently projected out there, and now see it in my brothers while seeing myself as white as the driven snow. This is a false picture of myself. It is one that keeps me from seeing the guilt in my own mind. The only way that we can see beyond all these behaviors, and thus see with Christ's vision, is to bring the projections that we see out there back into our own minds and see the enemy within. Now we have the power to choose again. Only in this way can we clear the way for Christ's vision, and only in this way can we awaken to who we are.

Christ's vision will then overlook all the seeming sins that we see in the world so that "In His forgiveness are they gone." (W.158.9.2) Further, the form of the sins does not matter, or how enormous they appear to be, or who seems hurt by them, because the effects are completely undone. There is no hierarchy in illusions. All illusions can be put in one category, which is that they are not true. And, even more amazing, he says that they are no more and "never to be done." (W.158.9.6) Through forgiveness, what appeared to happen is wiped away, and the only way we can really understand this is to realize that this world and our experiences here are all illusory. They are all dreamt by the mind that seemed to fall asleep to who it really is. This is the only way that forgiveness makes sense. It is forgiving our brothers for what they have not done. Ultimately, nothing real has happened. It is a pretty amazing thought, when we look at some of the horrors of the world, to accept that in truth it all never happened. It was all just a dream, no different than what we see when we awaken from our nighttime dreams and realize their unreality.
 
This has to be understood within the context of discussion of time and the script. First, in relation to time, he tells us that we seem to be on a journey through time, but that journey is already over. To us, time goes in one direction with a lot of events that seem entirely arbitrary, where the future is unknown, with circumstances changing, events taking place, people coming and going, dying and being born. It all seems to flow through time. And it does seem that the unexpected events of our lives, which turn everything up-side-down and create chaos, come out of nowhere. Yet Jesus says, "there is a plan behind appearances that does not change." (W.158.4.2) Further, while things appear arbitrary to us, "there is no step along the road that anyone takes but by chance." (W.158.3.3)
 
It has all already happened since time is over. We are just reliving an experience in our memory, remembering it from the end of the journey. The journey is over. It has already happened, which we will know when we wake up. A fuller discussion of this can be found in Chapter 26, "The Little Hindrance," where Jesus says, "Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time past, and everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness [illusion] was made." (T.26.V.3.3-4) Yet while time is meaningless, we believe in it so "why should you waste it going nowhere, when it can be used to reach a goal as high as learning can achieve?" (T.26.V.2.3) What we can achieve by our learning is vision, or true perception.
 
Furthermore, if "The script is written" (W.158.4.3) and the time has been set for when our experience comes to an end, meaning all of our doubting thoughts are gone, is everything determined? Is it all just fate? Is there nothing we can do? It certainly seems that it is all determined, yet we read that we can save thousands of years, as we do our forgiveness work, and we can skip parts of this mental review, which is what the miracle does. It is not all determined by time. Miracles enable us to save time, and ultimately we will all experience revelation or awakening. When that happens is determined by how willing we are to participate in the process of our salvation. Our part is to let go of our defenses and to look at how we deny taking responsibility. The world can be such an awesome classroom when used for healing purposes. It means that everything that seems to be happening to us can be seen as a wonderful opportunity to learn to undo our untrue selves so that the Christ Self can be revealed.
 
The important thing is not to linger here by being tempted to delay our awakening. We are already at the end of the journey, just imagining that we are making it again. The story is already over, but we won't know that until we are ready to experience it. Another way to see this was explained to me by a friend, who says that he imagines himself sitting with Jesus in a theater and the story they are watching together is some portion of his life that seems to be unfolding. It is a way to recognize that we are the dreamer of this story and not one of its characters. When we identify with the story, as we might identify with a movie we are watching, we forget that the characters are just dream figures and we are drawn into feelings of anxiety, laughter, sadness or grief. In the same way, we can get lost in our own movie of our lives and identify with what is happening, as if it is all real. Unlike the movie where we are released from our identification when the movie is over, in our lives we take it all very seriously. Then, instead of watching the characters, we become those characters. Our healing happens when we remember to step out of the movie and watch it all without judgment. Nothing in the story is right or wrong, good or bad. It is just all unreal. We can now choose to observe what has already happened.

And so we undertake this practice as an important use of time. With each Lesson that we undertake, we are learning to do that. We are learning to see with vision. It is like learning a language, where we do language labs and grammar studies, the purpose of which is ultimately to speak and understand the language. It is the same with the Lessons. We do the Lessons and the meditations, not as an end in themselves, but as a way of strengthening our ability to forgive and to see with spiritual vision, which is precisely the goal of the Course.

The Manual for Teachers, speaks more about the world of time, saying that, "What happened long ago seems to be happening now. Choices made long since appear to be open; yet to be made. What has been learned and understood and long ago passed by is looked upon as a new thought, a fresh idea, a different approach. Because your will is free you can accept what has already happened at any time you choose, and only then will you realize that it was always there." (M.2.3.2-5)
 
Jesus knows that we will have a great deal of struggle trying to understand all this, so he says, "There is no need to further clarify what no one in the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do..." (W.169.10.1-3)
 
We need not be concerned with the final experience of revelation, but only with each act of forgiveness, which brings us closer to that time already set. Everything we experience is perfect for our learning. Nothing is by chance. Everything is as it needs to be. All we need to do is to accept and to allow. There is nothing to strive for. In fact, striving is of the ego. We need not concern ourselves with when the time will come for our awakening. We need not get anxious or feel guilty at our rate of progress. We only need to do what is in front of us each day in applying the Lessons and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit.

For now, let us be comforted by the fact that to learn to give as I receive is a Lesson that we are told is not difficult to learn "if you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin, so much you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you, and offer you the peace of God." (W.158.10.3-5) If anyone seems to be attacking me, it is just another opportunity for me to see my own guilt reflected back at me. What I am seeing are the thoughts that I have already chosen within. It is an outward picture that I am seeing of my own inward condition. "Here is the joining of the world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible." (W.158.6.1) We are bringing our misperceptions, based on our wrong-minded thought system,  to the light of the Atonement, (the intangible). Thus, we can experience the "quiet place within the world made holy by forgiveness and by love" (W.158.6.2) until our journey ends at the real world and Heaven's gate.
 
Christ's vision is like a stepping-stone between the experience of time and illusion and the world and Heaven. When we have reached the real world, we are done with this journey and "Experience---unlearned, untaught, unseen--- is merely there." (W.158.6.4) We need to only concern ourselves with getting closer to vision, which is true perception, and when that is achieved, experience is just remembered at the appointed time, not learned. The journey ends in the experience of the real world. That is the goal of this Course. We learn that we are all the same, not in form, but in our shared need to wake up from this dream. This is the reflection of the truth that we are One. We just need to be willing to do what is in front of us now instead of worrying about when we will achieve Heaven. "Now you must learn that only infinite patience produces immediate effects." (T.5.VI.12.1)(ACIM OE T.5.VIII.81)

A Course in Miracles 

 

Chapter Fourteen

IV. Perception without Deceit            

25 The search for truth is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with truth. Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there, wherever you are, being within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real or false to you. If you hide it, it becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with fear. Under each cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you look at fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals becomes.

 

26 It is not possible to convince the unknowing that they know. From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is true because God knows it. These are clearly opposite viewpoints of what the "unknowing" are. To God, unknowing is impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a belief in something that does not exist. It is only this belief that the unknowing have, and by it they are wrong about themselves. They have defined themselves as they were not created. Their creation was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty brought to certainty does not retain any conviction of reality.

 

27 You must have noticed that the emphasis has been on bringing what is undesirable to the desirable; what you do not want to what you do. You will realize that salvation must come to you this way if you consider what dissociation is. Dissociation is a distorted process of thinking whereby two systems of belief which cannot coexist are both maintained. It has been recognized that if they were brought together their joint acceptance would become impossible. But if one is kept in darkness from the other, their separation seems to keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their joining thus becomes the source of fear, for if they meet, acceptance must be withdrawn from one of them.

 

28 You cannot have them both, for each denies the other. Apart, this fact is lost from sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with firm belief. Bring them together, and the fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack fear. What needs no protection does not defend itself. Defense is of your making. God knows it not. The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you made them against it. His perception of them, according to His purpose, merely changes them into a call for what you have attacked with them.

 

29 Defenses, like everything you made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the Holy Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation and release. His task is mighty, but the power of God is with Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was accomplished the instant it was given Him for you. Do not delay yourselves in your return to peace by wondering how He can fulfill what God has given Him to do. Leave that to Him Who knows. You are not asked to do mighty tasks yourself. You are merely asked to do the little He suggests you do, trusting Him only to the small extent of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You will see how easily all that He asks can be accomplished.

 

30 The Holy Spirit asks of you but this-bring to Him every secret you have locked away from Him. Open every door to Him and bid Him enter the darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon. For He sees for you, and unless you look with Him, He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him alone but for Him with you. Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him and look upon them with Him. He holds the light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to knowledge.

 

31 You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from double vision but from the gentle fusing of everything into one meaning, one emotion, and one purpose. God has one purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish for all the world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your will, accepting it as His, with all His love as yours. All honor to you through Him, and through Him unto God.

 

32 In the darkness you have obscured the glory God gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All this lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt and in the dark denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the closing of the doors that interferes with recognition of the power of God that shines in you. Banish not power from your mind, but let all that would hide your glory be brought to the judgment of the Holy Spirit and there undone. Whom He would save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the Father that through Him you would be released from littleness to glory. To what He promised God He is wholly faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was given Him to share with you.

 

33 He shares it still, for you. Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or little valued, He will replace with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His Son. For they are not apart, and gifts to one are offered to the other.

 

34 You know not God because you know not this. And yet you do know God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the Holy Spirit shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that God Himself wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the Father and the Son, as both would have it be. And so it is.

 

35 Let your minds wander not through darkened corridors, away from light's center. You may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition. They are joined in giving you the gift of oneness, before which all separation vanishes. Unite with what you are. You cannot join with anything except reality. God's glory and His Son's belong to you in truth. They have no opposite, and nothing else can you bestow upon yourselves.

 

36 There is no substitute for truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place where you must meet with truth. And there you must be led, through gentle understanding which can lead you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the truth. Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the Creator and by His creations. In the holy meeting place are joined the Father and His creations, and the creations of His Son with them together. There is one link which joins them all together, holding them in the oneness out of which creation happens.

 

37 The link with which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are brought together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own.
