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.
…The folly of pursuing guilt as goal is fully recognized. And idols are not wanted [in a world with forgiveness as its purpose], for guilt is understood as the sole cause of pain in any form. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.V.1:1-5;2:3-4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Today we remember that forgiveness is our only purpose here. We do not try to find guilt in ourselves in another. We understand that guilt in any form is the cause of our suffering. We would free ourselves from the pain of guilt and judgment. Seeing innocence, with Holy Spirit’s Help, is our practice for today.
