Lesson 20 of A Course in Miracles introduces the lesson: “I am determined to see.” This teaching challenges us to recognize the power of our intention in shaping our perception of the world. By acknowledging our determination to see beyond illusions and perceive with spiritual clarity, we open ourselves to transformation and deeper understanding.
This practice invites us to become aware of our commitment to spiritual sight and inner vision. By understanding that our determination influences our ability to perceive truth, we can start to cultivate a steadfast resolve to see beyond the ego’s limitations.
Jesus emphasized the importance of clarity of vision and spiritual discernment. In Luke 11:34-35, He says, “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.” This teaching aligns with ACIM’s guidance to strengthen our commitment to seeing through the eyes of love and truth.
By practicing Lesson 20, we align ourselves with Christ’s message of spiritual determination and clarity. We learn to release the obstacles to clear vision and open ourselves to a deeper connection with divine wisdom and guidance.
