T-12.VI:The Vision of Christ

1. 1The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own soul. 2The Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your soul and there is no gain in the world, for of itself it profits nothing. 3To invest without profit is surely to impoverish yourself, and the overhead is high. 4Not only is there no profit in the investment, but the cost to you is enormous. 5For this investment costs you the world’s reality by denying yours, and gives you nothing in return. 6You cannot sell your soul, but you can sell your awareness of it. 7You cannot perceive your soul, but you will not know it while you perceive something else as more valuable.

2. 1The Holy Spirit is your strength because He knows nothing but the spirit as you. 2He is perfectly aware that you do not know yourself, and perfectly aware of how to teach you to remember what you are. 3Because He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it. 4Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. 5For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. 6God is in your memory because of Him. 7You chose to forget your Father but you do not really want to do so, and therefore you can decide otherwise. 8As it was my decision, so is it yours.

3. 1You do not want the world. 2The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with love. 3This gives it the only reality it will ever have. 4Its value is not in itself, but yours is in you. 5As self-value comes from self-extension, so does the perception of self-value come from the extension of loving thoughts outward. 6Make the world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.

4. 1Correction is for all who cannot see. 2To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy Spirit’s mission, for He knows that they have not lost their vision, but merely sleep. 3He would awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of God. 4Christ’s eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as yours. 5The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. 6In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. 7He will show you the real world because God gave you Heaven. 8Through Him your Father calls His Son to remember. 9The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will learn to re-invest in himself. 10For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.

5. 1When you have seen this real world, as you will surely do, you will remember Us. 2Yet you must learn the cost of sleeping, and refuse to pay it. 3Only then will you decide to awaken. 4And then the real world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. 5He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of you. 6He looks quietly on the real world, which He would share with you because He knows of the Father’s Love for Him. 7And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. 8In perfect peace He waits for you at His Father’s altar, holding out the Father’s Love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit’s blessing. 9For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as his Self.

6. 1Every child of God is one in Christ, for his being is in Christ as Christ’s is in God. 2Christ’s Love for you is His Love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father’s Love for Him. 3When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension. 4Love transfers to love without any interference, for the two are one. 5As you perceive more and more common elements in all situations, the transfer of training under the Holy Spirit’s guidance increases and becomes generalized. 6Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability is universal. 7When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God.

7. 1What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. 2At the altar of God, the holy perception of God’s Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the spirit of God’s Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. 3Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself that is His Son. 4The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. 5For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it has always been. 6There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect love of God and of each other. 7Heaven is your home, and being in God it must also be in you.

1. 小我企图教你如何赚得整个世界却赔上你的灵魂。
圣灵所教你的却是：你不可能丧失自己的灵魂，世上也无利可图，因世界本身根本无利可言。
投资于毫无利润的生意，根本是浪费资源，它的代价太高了。
这投资不只毫无利润可言，还会害你血本无归。
它会害你否定自己的真相，因而赔上了世界的真相，却一无回报。
你无法出卖自己的灵魂，但你却能出卖你对灵魂的觉知。
你的灵魂本来就不是肉眼可见的，只要你仍然重视其他东西，保证你更加无由得知灵魂的真相。
2. 圣灵是你的力量，因为祂只知道一件事：你是灵。
但祂同时清楚你并不知道自己的真相，祂也完全清楚该如何教你忆起本来面目。
祂爱你，乐于告诉你祂所爱的究竟是什么，因为祂一心想要分享此爱。
祂始终记得你，绝不会让你忘却自己的价值。
由于天父随时提醒圣灵上主之子的真相，圣灵也会随时提醒上主之子天父的真相。
上主是透过圣灵而永存于你记忆中的。
你一度决心忘掉自己的天父，其实那绝非你真正的意愿，你是可以改变自己的决定的。
我既能作出这一决定，你也能作出同样的决定。
3. 你并不想要这个世界。
它的唯一价值只在你爱的眼神所注视的那一部分。
是你的眼光赋予它绝无仅有的真实性。
它的价值不在它自身内，但你的价值却在你自己内。
自我的价值源自自我的延伸，为此，你的自我价值“观”必然源自你的善念延伸之物。
让你的世界愈来愈真实吧，因为真实世界乃是圣灵的礼物，而它非你莫属。
4. 凡是视而不见的，都是有待修正之人。
圣灵的使命即是开启盲者的眼睛，因为祂深知这些人并未丧失视力，只是睡着罢了。
祂要将他们由遗忘之梦唤醒而忆起天父。
基督的眼睛永远明亮，只要你接纳祂的慧眼，祂爱的眼神便会落于你所见之物。
圣灵为每一个沉睡的圣子护守着基督慧见。
在圣灵的慧眼里，上主之子完美无缺，祂一心只愿与你共享这一慧见。
祂要帮你看清真实世界，因为上主已将天国赐给了你。
你的天父愿透过圣灵而唤回圣子的记忆。
圣子觉醒的第一步乃是开始投资真实世界，如此，他才会学到如何重新投资自己。
因为真相必与天父及圣子同在，圣灵是藉圣父圣子之名而祝福了这个真实世界。
5. 你迟早会看到真实世界的，你一看到它，即刻便会忆起我们。
然而，你必须学会看清沉睡的代价，并且拒绝支付才行。
唯有如此，才能显出你苏醒的决心。
真实世界便会出现于你眼前，因为基督从不入睡。
基督一直等着你的眼光转向祂，祂的眼光片刻不曾离开你。
祂安详地凝视着真实世界，一心只愿与你同享，因为祂深知天父对祂的爱。
基督就是在此一真知下给你那原属于你的礼物。
祂在天父的祭坛上，宁静安详地等着你回头，祂在圣灵的祝福之光下，默默地将天父之爱传送到你身上。
圣灵会引领所有的人回归天父的家园，基督在那儿等着与自性团圆。
6. 上主的每一个孩子在基督内都属于同一生命，因为他的生命存于基督内，一如基督存于天父内。
基督对你的爱就是祂对天父的爱，祂知道自己对天父的爱，因祂知道天父对祂的爱。
当圣灵终于由天父祭坛将你领回基督那儿时，知见便会转为真知；它变得如此神圣，自然融入了神圣之本体。
爱延伸到爱内，有如水乳交融，因为两者原是一物。
当你在各种人生场景中愈来愈能认出它们的共通性，表示你在圣灵的指点下，不仅增强了举一反三的能力，且能普遍用在现实生活中。
你慢慢学会了如何将此知见套用于每个人及每件事上，显示出它放诸四海皆准的实用价值。
一旦臻至此境，知见与真知变得极其相似，因两者都具备了上主天律的结合能力。
7. 凡是一体的，就不能视为分裂的，否定分裂就等于重申真知。
圣子的知见在上主祭坛前显得如此神圣，洋溢着悟性光明，圣子的灵性同时返照回天心，与它融为一体。
上主的光辉温柔地照在自己身上，深深爱着由祂生命延伸而出的圣子。
当世界融入上主的终极目标后，它的存在目的便告终了。
真实世界会悄悄地滑向天堂，回归它千古不易的永恒之乡。
救主与得救之人就在那儿结合于上主圆满之爱以及彼此的爱中。
天堂是你的家，它既在上主之内，必也在你内。
1.小我企圖教你如何在得到整個世界後失去自己的靈魂。
聖靈則會教你，你無法失去自己的靈魂，而在這個世界裏，你什麼也得不到，因為它無法自行獲利。
一旦投資而無法獲利，你就一定會變窮，成本卻相當高昂。
你的投資不僅缺乏收益，還會令你付出巨大的代價。
它令你看不見世界的真相，因為它否定了你的真相，卻沒有帶來任何回報。
你無法出賣自己的靈魂，但你能出賣自己對它的覺知。
你無法感知自己的靈魂，但你的感知一旦認定其他的事物更有價值，你就無從了解它。
2.聖靈就是你的力量，因為祂只了知靈性，也就是真實的你。
你並不了解自己，這點祂心知肚明，而祂也心知肚明該怎麼教你憶起自己的真面目。
祂既然愛你，就樂於教你祂所愛的一切，因為祂願共享這一切。
祂一向惦記著你，因而無法讓你忘卻自己的價值。
畢竟天父不停地讓祂惦記自己的聖子，而祂也會不停地讓聖子惦記著天父。
因為祂，上主留在了你的記憶裏。
即便你選擇遺忘自己的天父，卻不真想如此，為此，你也可以做出相反的決定。
那既是我曾做出的決定，便也是你的決定。
3.你不想要這個世界。
只有你以愛的眼光看待的部分，才是這世上唯一有價值的東西。
這給了它它所能擁有的全部真實性。
它的價值不在自身之內，但你卻是如此。
自我價值既然來源於自我延伸，你對自我價值的感知便來源於把愛的念頭向外延伸。
讓這個世界在你眼中顯得真實吧，因為真實世界便是聖靈的禮物，所以也非你莫屬。
4.修正乃是為了所有看不見的人而有的。
讓瞎子睜開雙眼即是聖靈的使命，因為祂知道他們並未喪失視力，只是睡著了而已。
祂會將他們由遺忘的沉睡中喚醒，從而憶起上主。
基督的眼是雪亮的，一旦你接納了祂的慧見，祂就會以愛的眼光看待你眼裡的一切。
聖靈會替睡夢中的每一位聖子保存基督的慧見。
在祂的目光下，上主之子完美無瑕，而祂也渴望和你共享自己的慧見。
祂會令你看見真實世界，因為上主賜給了你天堂。
你的天父會藉著祂來呼喚自己的聖子憶起實相。
祂的聖子若能投資於真實世界，就會開始覺醒，而他也會藉此學習該怎麼重新投資於自己。
畢竟，不論是對聖父或是對聖子，實相都只有一個，而聖靈則會以二者之名來祝福真實世界。
5.你一定會見到這個真實世界，而你一旦做到這點，就會憶起我們倆的真面目。
但你必須明白沉睡的代價，並拒絕付出這一代價。
只有這樣，你才會決定醒來。
於是，真實世界便會映入你的眼簾，因為基督從未沉睡。
祂等著被你看見，因為祂從未把自己的目光從你身上移開。
祂默默注視著真實世界，而祂也願和你共享，因為祂知曉天父對祂的愛。
祂既知曉這點，就會樂於賜你非你莫屬之物。
懷著完美的平安，祂在天父的祭壇跟前等你，在聖靈的祝福與寧靜的光照之下，祂要把天父之愛交給你。
因為聖靈會把所有的人都領回天家，而基督作為他們的自性則在那兒等著。
6.上主的每個孩子在基督裏都是一個，因為基督蘊含著他們的存在，一如上主蘊含著基督的存在。
基督對你的愛即是祂對天父的愛，祂心裡明白這點，因為祂明白天父對祂的愛。
一旦聖靈最終領你來到了基督與天父的祭壇那兒，感知就會融入真知，因為它已變得無比神聖，只會自然而然地延伸並轉換為神聖性。
愛可以不受阻撓地轉換為愛，畢竟二者即是一個。
一旦你能在所有情境中感知到愈來愈多的共同元素，你在聖靈指引之下的操練就能有所轉換，而且會與日俱增並推擴出去。
逐漸的，你會學習將它運用到一切人與一切事上，因為它本就一體適用。
一旦做到這點，感知與真知就會變得極其相似，從而得以共享上主之律的一體性。
7.沒有人能把一體感知為分裂，而對分裂的否定則是在重申真知。
在上主的祭壇跟前，聖子的神聖感知將會變得光明無比，以致光明不斷流入，而聖子的靈性則在聖父的天心裡熠熠生輝，並與之合一。
上主極其溫柔地照亮了自己，並愛著祂的延伸——那就是祂的聖子。
世界則在融入了上主的目的後失去了目的。
因為真實世界已悄然滑入了天堂，在那兒，一切永恆之物均永恆如是。
在那兒，拯救者及其拯救的對象將在上主和各自的完美愛中合而為一。
天堂才是你的家，它既在上主之內，必然也在你內。
