Lesson 295 ”The Holy Spirit looks through me today.”
Reframe: I choose to see through the lens of truth, love, and clarity.
Suggested Practice:
From now on:
Once in the morning and once in the evening for however many minutes feels sufficient. Then every hour remember/recite the idea for the day.
Prayer For today:
(feel free to swap out the wording to whatever resonates with you best)
“My Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. ²Help 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.(ACIM, W-295.2:1-2)
OR… “I see through the eyes of love today.”
For Lessons 291-300: What is the Real World? is the theme for the next 10 days. Read the whole article here.
”The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. ²Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made.³Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. ⁴The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found. (ACIM, W-pII.8.1:1-4).
OR put another way…
”The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace.”
From the PART II Introduction: Read the whole introduction here.
“Words will mean little now. ²We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. ³For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. ⁴The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace. ⁵Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set, and find the end toward which our practicing was always geared.” (ACIM, W-pII.in.1:1-5)

Message
From the Lesson:
“²Help 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.” (ACIM, W-295.2:2)
I had a full day of driving today, which gave me plenty of opportunities to ask for this kind of help. I didn’t use those words specifically. I mainly used my new mantra from Lesson 292: slow down. It’s my simple way to have the Holy Spirit look through me instead of the ego mind.
Instead of the hourly routine I had initially set up, I set my smartwatch to go off every 30 minutes. Most of the time it was a great reminder to say it aloud and then take a deep breath to get myself grounded in the moment and back to calm. Other times, while still a great reminder, it was a bit more challenging—heavy traffic, wild drivers—but it at least stopped me from letting my anxiety escalate any further until the situation eased up and I could breathe again.
I imagine it had to be a wild ride for the Holy Spirit to observe my seven-hour experience. It was for me. However, considering my day, I’m feeling at peace and I’m happy to have arrived at my destination in One Peace.
