Forgiveness Is Our Only Function Now

The real world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, for the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of idols, which are sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not held dear. No rules are idly set, and no demands are made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as they really are. And it is recognized that all things must be first forgiven, and then understood. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.V.1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

To understand something, we must recognize its true meaning. When we project our past and our beliefs on what we look at, we are covering over the true meaning with our projections. The true meaning is hidden beneath the veil of guilt and fear. This is why we must first forgive before we can understand the truth of our brothers and ourselves.

Our top priority must be to let go of all our false beliefs and the history we try to bring with us from our past experiences. As long as we hang on to the past, we cannot be aware or understand the blessing and joy that is with us and in us now. Forgiveness is our only function now. It is how we clear the way for true vision to show us that only Love is real.

Today we practice again offering all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit to be purified of what is false and to let the truth be brought to the forefront of our minds. This is how we will let ourselves understand the real world.
