My sinlessness protects me from all harm.
My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering. And only happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me. What must I do to know all this is mine? I must accept Atonement for myself, and nothing more. God has already done all things that need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God’s Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son; to know I am the Son my Father loves. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.337.1)
Forgiveness brings release from the belief that we have caused harm to our brother, to our Self or to our Creator. Forgiveness is based on the fact that nothing is real but the changeless Love of our Creator and our one Self. There is nothing we need to do but accept this fact and we will be free of the ego — the false belief that we have separated from Love.
Forgiveness makes way for the acceptance of our innocence. Sometimes it looks like we need to forgive a brother. Sometimes it looks like we need to forgive ourselves. The presence of guilt, pain or lack of peace of any kind is a sure sign that forgiveness is needed. Any circumstance in which these feelings are present is a reminder that we need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us the truth beyond these appearances and to help us see beyond them to the changeless Love that is ever present. This is how we free ourselves from the ego.
