Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what they hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind.
Let us come daily to this holy place [with our gifts forgiveness], and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is being born again in new perspective. Night has gone, and we have come together in the light. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 231, W-pII.2.3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 231 Insights.)
The image of spring with new growth and birds singing is a great metaphor for what we will experience as we let go of supporting illusions of separation in the dream of separation. We experience peace and a happy awakening to the awareness of God’s gifts as we let go of our judgments, our fears and our guilt.
The daily practice of forgiveness will bring us to our inner springtime. Our minds and hearts will remember the Love of God and see it everywhere. This practice is what time is for. It is the journey Home.
