Miracle-minded forgiveness is only correction. ²It has no element of judgment at all. ³The statement “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” in no way evaluates what they do. ⁴It is an appeal to God to heal their minds. ⁵There is no reference to the outcome of the error. ⁶That does not matter.
⁵Time is under my direction, but timelessness belongs to God. ⁶In time we exist for and with each other. ⁷In timelessness we coexist with God.
You can do much on behalf of your own healing and that of others if, in a situation calling for help, you think of it this way:
²I am here only to be truly helpful.
³I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
⁴I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
⁵I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
⁶I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal. (T-2.V-A.16:1-6;17:5–18:6)
Judgment is the ego’s primary tool to maintain belief in separation. True forgiveness dismisses judgment altogether. It sees beyond form to the eternal presence of Love.
A separate identity is an illusion. Illusions don’t know anything, for they are unreal. When we evaluate any appearance in the world on our own, we are engaging in judgment and believing we are the ego. To free ourselves from the ego’s false image, we must resign as judge. As we turn over all interpretation of appearances to the Holy Spirit, Christ’s vision replaces the ego’s image-making. We see that even the appearance of crucifixion is forgivable because no harm to the Son of God is possible.
When we commit to being truly helpful, we commit to letting the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts and actions. We relinquish judgment to the Holy Spirit. He judges all things as either real or unreal, Love or nothing. With that willingness, we learn of the Love we are, united with the Love of every brother, existing wholely in the Love of God.
