What need has such a mind [that has forgiven itself] for thoughts of death, attack and murder? What can it perceive surrounding it but safety, love and joy? What is there it would choose to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind, and only kindness does it look upon. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.8.3. See also ACIM Lesson 291 Insights.)
Belief in harm cannot coexist with recognition of our innocence. It is the belief that we could possibly harm anything that we need to forgive. Forgiveness cannot be justified in the world of separation because it is based on the belief that we have separated from the oneness of Love. When we let the Holy Spirit show us that only Love is real and that we are only Love, forgiveness is fully justified, for in Oneness, harm is impossible.
Holy Spirit, help me to see that only Love is real and that I am that Love. Help me to see that I share Love with all that Is, for nothing is outside the Love of God. With Your help I will see truly that there is nothing to forgive, for harm is impossible and never has occurred in truth. With Your help, I would see past the gossamer veil of illusions of separation to the joy and peace of unity in Love.
