Forgiveness Restores Peace to Our Mind

⁶How foolish to believe you can attack! ⁷How mad to think that you could be condemned, and that the holy Son of God can die!

The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need forgiveness. ²Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the truth. ³And what but truth could have a Thought which builds a bridge to it that brings illusions to the other side?

²The truth bestows these words upon your mind, that you may find the key to light and let the darkness end:

³Only my condemnation injures me.
⁴Only my own forgiveness sets me free.

⁵Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. ⁶Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.

Accept the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God’s Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face of Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. ²This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. ³Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as well. ⁴Be kind to Both, as you forgive the trespasses you thought Them guilty of, and see your innocence shining upon you from the face of Christ. (A Course in Miracles, W-198.7:6–8:3;9:2–10:4. See also ACIM Lesson 198 Insights.)

Our judgments are the source of all our stress, unhappiness, sickness, hate, fear and guilt. They are key tools in the ego’s box of tricks to keep our mind from recognizing that only God’s Love is real. It hides the fact that all our judgments are self-condemnation by disguising them as judgments on external images disconnected from ourselves.

We can free ourselves from our judgments by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our fear-based thoughts which deny the Love or our Father. With His help, we will remember we remain at Home in the Heaven of God’s Love.
