…forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is now at hand.
Suffice it, then, that you have work to do to play your part. …For your part is still what all the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune with God.
Forgiveness is the central theme that runs throughout salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful relationships, the course it runs directed and its outcome sure. And now we ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven….
What is the face of Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness, and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it forever, while a part of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as witness to the truth?
Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant, and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them back to yourself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 169, W-pI.169.7:2;11:1,4-5;12:1-3;13:3-14:2. See also ACIM Lesson 169 Insights.)
Forgiveness is the role assigned to everyone who believes they are alone in a world of separation. The forms of forgiveness is the special function that is unique for each of us. We each have our own set of beliefs that influence our perceptions in a dream of separation. It is these beliefs we must forgive through the help of the Holy Spirit.
When we have achieved true forgiveness of a mistaken belief that has brought us fear and guilt, the release changes the way we see the world. With each release, the oneness of Love beyond every form is seen and felt more clearly. We respond differently to circumstances in our experience. And our enlightened response extends the lesson we have learned. The ongoing practice of this process is our role in which we bring salvation to our brothers, who are one with us.
