Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him, and not apart.
Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world that death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation rise within you, to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a unity which holds all things within itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God are one. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.VII.9:1-2;10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Judgment depends on believing that what we judge is separate from us. Judgment brings with it fear and guilt, pain and suffering, isolation and a sense of loss. It brings the appearance of Heaven’s opposite. When we let go of judgment, we open our minds to the recognition of Heaven as our Reality. Forgiveness is the willingness to let Oneness be true, and therefore let Heaven be our reality.
As we practice bringing all our thoughts of fear and guilt, of unhappiness and unworthiness, to the Holy Spirit in our minds to receive His healing vision, we move closer to letting the reality of Heaven dawn upon our minds. We choose to remember Heaven with this practice today.
