How to Bring Peace to the World

When you have looked upon your brother with complete forgiveness, from which no error is excluded and nothing kept hidden, what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot overlook? What form of suffering could block your sight, preventing you from seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you will not recognize as a mistake; a shadow through which you walk completely undismayed? God would let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His, and they will recognize their wills are His, because they serve His Will. And serve it willingly. And could remembrance of what they are be long delayed?

You will see your value through your brother’s eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his savior in place of the attacker who he thought was there. Through this releasing is the world released. This is your part in bringing peace. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.VI.7:1-8:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Complete forgiveness brings peace to the world. This is why forgiveness is our only function. Judgment always brings conflict with it because it is based on the belief in being separate. Conflict is impossible in what is one and the same throughout. There are no differences in God nor His Son, Who remains forever one with Him.

For forgiveness to be complete, we must relinquish all our judgments to the Holy Spirit. He will judge truly on our behalf. The Holy Spirit’s judgment sees all things as real or unreal, Love or a call for Love. There is no other choice. From our perspective as a separate identity, our judgments are based on the false premise that separation is real. These judgments will always be wrong because they are based on a lie.

Today we do our part to bring peace to the world by putting Holy Spirit in charge of all our interpretations. Thus we will recognize illusions for what they are and look past them. We will learn to recognize Love and calls for Love. With this clear vision, we will be messengers of Love and peace in the world.
