The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world, that it may be healed along with me.
“Suggestions for specific forms for applying this idea are:
Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].
I share the light of the world with you, [name].
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 82, W-pI.82.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 82 Insights.)
God’s Love is the Light of the world, and It is What we are. Grievances block this Light from Its expression in the world. We fill the dark shadows cast by our grievances with hallucinations of attack, loss, separation and death. These hallucinations spawn fear and guilt which make a world in which we believe we are vulnerable and weak.
But this dark world we perceive is not real. Nothing that seems to happen in it has any effect whatsoever on the truth that we, the Son of God, are Love and nothing else. Love can neither harm nor be harmed, for It is one and eternally changeless. What God created one with Him shares all His attributes. Our true nature as Love is revealed when we forgive our grievances. Love is the foundation for forgiveness, for Love sees only Its own harmlessness. Love sees only Itself, for nothing but Love exists in truth.
To let this reality dawn upon our minds, we need to practice, moment by moment, being open to the vision of Love that shows us Truth. We remind ourselves often today to ask of Love, “What would You have me think, what would You have me see, what would You have me say, what would You have me do?” Thus will we bring Light to the world.
