This is a term from A Course in Miracles which states that every encounter with a brother or sister is a holy encounter. Every exchange between two people should be thought of as Angels meeting Angels, Christ meeting Christ, Buddha meeting Buddha, God meeting God, etc. This is called innocent perception - seeing the innocence in each person, that which is divine - and has been one of my main daily committments to expanding my enlightenment, Christ consciousness, and spiritual growth.
When you follow this practice, it will lead to unconditional love. This ideal means that you are seeing beyond the appearances of the physical, emotional, and mental bodies and to see the true core of every person.
The world is a mirror of our own thinking. What we see in our brothers and sisters is in truth, what we are seeing in ourselves. To heal oneself, one must see God in every person as oneself.
This applies to how one sees members of the opposite sex. Do you see a person in a physical body first -- or as God living in a physical body?
When we think of people as God living in a physical body, our thinking and talking will start to change because we are literally encountering God with everyone we are around, talk to and meet.
Since God is total unconditional love, to speak and act unkindly or with a mean spirit or lustfully or in an offensive way only hurts, confuses, or deeply wounds the person as well as ourselves. It is much better to go through life thinking that every person you encounter is God. It is also very necessary and therapeutic for a person's growth and healing so they can move toward enlightenment.
