As witness to forgiveness, aid to prayer, and the effect of mercy truly taught, healing is blessing. And the world responds in quickened chorus through the voice of prayer. Forgiveness shines its merciful reprieve upon each blade of grass and feathered wing and all the living things upon the earth. Fear has no haven here, for love has come in all its holy oneness. Time remains only to let the last embrace of prayer rest on the earth an instant, as the world is shined away. This instant is the goal of all true healers, whom the Christ has taught to see His likeness and to teach like Him. (A Course in Miracles, S-3.IV.2)
A true healer sees with Christ’s vision, which sees only the reality of Love’s innocence. While the body sees separate images, the mind of a true healer overlooks the forms and gives its full attention to the recognition of Love’s innocence everywhere. This clear vision comes through true forgiveness. The mind of a true healer no longer perceives a need to defend a limited identity nor sees any justification to judge against anyone or anything. This is the goal of the practice of true forgiveness.
Each time we accept Christ’s teaching that only Love is real and guilt is never justified, we give a gift to ourself and the world. Forgiveness clears the way for Love’s blessing to extend. It lets Love be Itself without limit. As we let go of the layers of the belief in separation, the Love from the Truth in us flows more freely, with kindness, compassion and helpfulness. The ego’s dedication to division is replaced by Christ’s unifying vision that joins with the truth of Love everywhere. In this vision, peace prevails, for there is no conflict in what is one.
