A Course In Miracles Lesson 265

Creation’s gentleness is all I see

The Point — The frightening world was not simply observed; the mind projected its own guilt onto it and then saw that guilt looking back. This is why the world seemed fierce. Jesus asks you to reverse the projection. If fear came from the interpretation rather than from creation itself, then another state of mind can reveal another world. Creation’s gentleness becomes visible as the mind stops covering it with its own accusation.

Where It Fits — Lesson 263 introduced holy vision. Lesson 264 placed everything within Love. Lesson 265 shows what perception begins to look like when guilt is no longer projected over that Love.

The Takeaway — The world looked fierce because you projected fear onto it; withdraw the accusation and creation’s gentleness can appear.
