Accepting True Correction

Correction is not your function. It belongs to One Who knows of fairness, not of guilt. If you assume correction’s role, you lose the function of forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to forgive, and never to accuse.

Correction must be left to One Who knows correction and forgiveness are the same. With half a mind this is not understood. Leave, then, correction to the Mind that is united, functioning as one because it is not split in purpose, and conceives a single function as its only one. …In His acceptance of this function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single purpose unifies the halves of you that you perceive as separate. And each forgives the other, that he may accept his other half as part of him. (A Course in Miracles, T-27.II.10:1-4;16:1-3,5-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

If we perceive that anything or anyone is wrong, we must believe that we know what is right. But this perception is based on our identification with the ego thought system of separation. It is our perception that is wrong. And we are incapable of correcting the wrong from this viewpoint. This is why all correction must come from the Holy Spirit, Whose only purpose is to bring truth to the part of our mind that believes that separation is true. It is essential that we give up the idea that we know what anything in this world of separation means if we want to find peace.

We ask today for the Holy Spirit’s perception of the Truth to replace our misperceptions based on the belief in being separate and alone. As we accept this correction in our perception, our minds are returned to sanity. We will remember that nothing has happened to change our one Self, God’s one Son. This is how we are healed.
