Beyond 'perception' into 'knowledge'

As long as perception lasts prayer has a place. Since perception rests on lack, those who perceive have not totally accepted the Atonement and given themselves over to truth. Perception is based on a separated state, so that anyone who perceives at all needs healing. Communion, not prayer, is the natural state of those who know. God and His miracle are inseparable. How beautiful indeed are the Thoughts of God who live in His light! Your worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One Light where the miracle that is you is perfectly clear.

-ACIM

While perceptions are limited to variations of degree and dimension....'knowledge' is total, one, complete. In the light of the Atonement is the perfect knowledge of ones true being in God, where there is no division, only the One Light of divinity. Herein is ones true worth-ship realized and glorified in the Sonship. One's awareness becomes pristine of the miracle that one IS. The ego-self whose existence springs from the perception of 'seperation' from Reality is surrendered and wholly transcended when one thru the medium of the miraculous is transfered from perception into knowledge. This knowing of Absolute Truth is the haven of Peace. It is being alive and conscious in the One Spirit, where there is Only Spirit. "for he who is joined to the Lord, is one spirit with him".
