| '''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. | | '''Christ's vision''' has one [[law]].

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]] that 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]]. - [[ACIM Workbook - Lesson 158|Lesson 158]] | | This can be taught; and must be taught by all who would [[achieve]] it.
