Having been raised ‘catholic’… I am well aware of ‘sin’… We were taught several categories of sin… We were born ‘in sin’… We had to ‘fight against’ sin…I had a very ‘extensive’ education on ‘sin and sinners’…

So the process to ‘undo’ this has been extensive…. When I become aware of ‘seeing you’ as a ‘sinner’ in some way… I MUST ASK God for assistance…

From the text…“All this is given you, who would but see your brother sinless. All this is given, waiting on your desire but to receive it. Vision is freely given to those who ask to see. Your brother’s sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit’s vision, and to rejoice in, along with Him. For peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit, and at one with Him on what salvation IS.” (acim, vision of sinlessness)

A ‘breakaway’ moment occurred with my practice of acim… At some point… I ‘Asked’ for Help. Up until this moment… I just ‘assumed’ God Knew I wanted peace. However…’assumptions’ are always of ‘ego’… With an ‘invitation’… my communication With God Became a Living Part of My Mind.

The ‘diagnosis of cancer’… pushed this point …

Lesson 356 in acim is, “Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another Name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him.”

 With God as My Constant Mind Companion, I started to See ‘my judgments’ of just about ‘everything’… I was horrified at the level of ‘insanity’ ‘my judgments’ ‘informed me’… From ‘what we should be doing in the Middle East’… to ‘what color works best on you’… I Judged Every Thing. I became a ‘judgment identifying machine’… I would hear ‘my mind’ make a declaration… and IMMEDIATELY asked God to See this differently…

And here is some of the ‘irony’ in this way of being…

Lesson 357 in acim is, ‘Behold his sinlessness and be you healed’.”

If I can See You as the Innocent Child that You are… I Am Healed… does not make a lot of ‘horizontal sense’… and this process is impeccable in the ‘vertical’…

God cares not for what I eat or what I do to ‘treat’ cancer… I am, as I always have been… ‘sinless’ in God’s Eyes.

However… I judged ‘sinless’… My version of ‘sinless’… was to ‘attempt to sin less’. For the only way I could See ‘Sinless’ (incapable of sin)… is to get Clear… that I have no understanding of ‘sinless’… My judgmental interpretation was to see opportunities to ‘sin less’… Less sin as a catholic is the ‘best it can be’…

Acim is telling me… I am Incapable of Sinning…and… You are incapable of sin…We are incapable of sinning… period… from ‘hitler’ to ‘the lamb’… sin is impossible… only lots of room for me to forgive ‘my self’ for thinking ‘you are wrong’.

So with this New Vision… I had a chance of ‘seeing you’ as not just ‘sinning less’… but as SINLESS… not able to Ever Sin… from the beginning of time through out Eternity. No Matter what ‘my mind’ might tell me. And ‘my mind’ struggles to See sinless in All Things… and Yet… I get… My Salvation (our salvation) depends on me getting ‘my mind’ under ‘love control only’… Instead of Judging… I am Learning Loving All… no exceptions…

And the way to do this for me… STOP MAKING ANYTHING WRONG!!! Period…

So ‘sin’ is no longer a beLIEf that ‘runs me’… I now just ‘see’ a simple correction in mind… Forgive my self for ‘thinking sin is real’… Wow… the World is Immediately Brighter… Thank You and Big Hug…

“Be willing, then, to See your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before Your Vision and give You Joy.” … amen …
