How can you tell when you are seeing wrong, or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the lesson is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind that sees the pain through eyes the mind directs.
…let us think about all things we saved to settle by ourselves, and kept apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they will disappear.
This is the lesson God would have you learn: There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and to salvation of the world. To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:
I will forgive, and this will disappear.
To every apprehension, every care and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven’s gate, and brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.193.7:1-4;11:4-5;13:1-5)
Pain and fear are not natural. They are simply the effects of hanging on to a false image of ourselves. The joy of Heaven is available to us in every moment. We simply need to be willing to turn over our false ideas about what we are and what everyone is to the Holy Spirit. When we are willing, He will show us how to see beyond the false image, the false belief, to the truth.
Pain and fear become valuable signals that show us where there is a need to turn over our perception for His loving correction. We can experience peace and happiness in our lives. We need only be willing to turn every disturbance over to the Holy Spirit for Him to help us forgive and the disturbing perception will disappear.
Today we will be mindful of the signals that show us the need for forgiveness and bring them to the Holy Spirit to help us see truly.
