Claiming Our True Self’s Reality

Dwell not upon the past today. ²Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. ³You have forgiven the world today. ⁴You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before. ⁵You do not know yet what it looks like. ⁶You merely wait to have it shown to you. ⁷While you wait, repeat several times, slowly and in complete patience:

⁸The light has come. ⁹I have forgiven the world.

Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. ²Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. ³Believe He will not fail you now. ⁴You have forgiven the world. ⁵He will be with you as you watch and wait. ⁶He will show you what true vision sees. ⁷It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. ⁸Wait patiently for Him. ⁹He will be there. ¹⁰The light has come. ¹¹You have forgiven the world.

We dedicate this day to the serenity in which God would have you be. ²Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real. (A Course in Miracles, W-75.6–7;11. See also ACIM Lesson 75 Insights.)

When we experience fear, anger or guilt, it does not seem that we have forgiven the world. Only in the dream of separation does there seem to be a past that needs to be forgiven. Our true Self knows that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son, forever united with Him. This is our only Reality.

Time is part of the illusion; there is no past. This is why we can honestly claim that we have forgiven the world now. As we assure ourselves of this fact, we are claiming the Reality of our true Self and disowning the ego thought system of separation. By accepting that the Light has come, we are welcoming the vision that sees nothing has changed the Love we are. We remain safe in our oneness with God.
