Doing Our Part to Free the World from Guilt

Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free.

The ego makes illusions. ²Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. ³Truth never makes attack. ⁴It merely is. ⁵And by [truth’s] presence is the mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the real. ⁶Forgiveness bids [truth’s] presence enter in, and take its rightful place within the mind. ⁷Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. ⁸Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope, and giving it the means to realize the freedom that is its inheritance.

We would not bind the world again today. ²Fear holds it prisoner. ³And yet Your Love has given us the means [forgiveness] to set [the world] free. ⁴Father, we would release it now. ⁵For as we offer freedom, it is given us. ⁶And we would not remain as prisoners, while You are holding freedom out to us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 332, W-332. See also ACIM Lesson 332 Insights.)

When we experience disappointment, it means some form in the world did not measure up to our expectations. Disappointment is a form of anger that keeps us locked in the the ego’s dream of guilt.

If, instead, we recognize disappointment as a call to forgive, we can use it as a stepping stone to forgive and free the world from guilt and belief in separation. Today we choose to watch for signs of unforgiveness and ask for truth to fill our mind. Thus we do our part to set the world free and return to Love.
