…[God] wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him.
⁴God does not perceive at all. ⁵Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it.
These are the lessons God would have you learn. …They are the same in fundamental content. ⁶It is this:
⁷Forgive, and you will see this differently.
Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but unforgiveness. ²Yet that is the content underneath the form. (A Course in Miracles, W-193.1:2;2:4-5;3:1,5-7;4:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 193 Insights.)
The ego always emphasizes form and disregards its true content. In truth there is no content in form, so the ego gives the form meaning through its interpretation of perception. This process keeps us locked into the ego dream unless we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive the ego’s interpretations of form.
When we forgive our interpretations in the world, what remains is the Light of Love, seen clearly as It Lights the world. This Light shows us that in fact we dwell in the eternal joy and peace of God’s Love. With forgiveness, forms are recognized as meaningless and nothing. As forms fade from our awareness, we recognize our unbreakable unity with our Creator.
