A Course In Miracles Lesson 271

Christ’s is the vision I will use today

The Point — Every moment of perception involves a choice about what you want to see confirmed. The ego searches for witnesses to separation, guilt, danger, and bodily identity. Christ’s Vision searches for witnesses to innocence and unity. Jesus asks you to consciously choose the latter. Christ’s Vision does not deny the world’s appearances; it looks through them toward what God created and allows the world to become a bridge back to remembrance.

What’s Undone — The belief that perception is passive—that you simply see what is objectively there without purpose shaping what you notice and how you interpret it.

Where It Fits — “What Is the Christ?” defined Christ as the one Self untouched by the dream. 271 asks, “Which vision will I use to look for that Self today?”

The Takeaway — You do not merely see the world; you choose the purpose that tells you what in the world you will look for.
