How to Bring Peace to the World

The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world, that it may be healed along with me.

Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].
I share the light of the world with you, [name].
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.

Let me not use this to hide my function from me.
I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function.
This may threaten my ego, but cannot change my function in any way.
(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 82, W-pI.82.1;2:2-4;4:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 82 Insights.)

Whenever anything in the world disturbs our peace, we are believing something really happened to cause a change that we do not want. Yet this is a belief that an illusion can have a real affect. But illusions do nothing. What is unreal cannot affect what is real.

When we let Holy Spirit help us truly forgive, we learn that what we thought happened to disturb our peace did not really occur. Because we now know that nothing has happened to cause a change, we easily overlook the appearance. We let it pass by without causing a ripple on the quiet calm of our true Self. This is true forgiveness. This is how we let the Light that we are shine forth in the world. With our peace undisturbed, we bring peace to the world.
