To forgive is to overlook. Look, then, beyond error and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your brother is [God’s Son], if you would know yourself.
…You do not understand how to overlook errors, or you would not make them. It would merely be further error to believe either that you do not make [errors], or that you can correct them without a Guide to correction. And if you do not follow this Guide, your errors will not be corrected.
Follow the Holy Spirit’s teaching in forgiveness, then, because forgiveness is His function and He knows how to fulfill it perfectly. (A Course in Miracles T-9.IV.1:2-4;2:2-4;6:1)
It is time to give up trying to forgive. Instead, it’s time to give all our unforgiving thoughts to the Holy Spirit, Who will guide us truly to see beyond the seeming errors to the truth that we are one in God’s Love. This can never change.
The Holy Spirit will always show us the truth in our brothers and ourselves. The ego cannot see the truth because it is itself a lie. It is time to turn our backs on the ego and look solely to the Holy Spirit as our Guide for all our seeing. This is how we accept the Atonement for ourselves and remember that we remain innocent and whole, safely within God’s Love.
