…if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release that lies in [all that I give is given to myself], this is a day of glory for the world.
It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the thought that will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means, and let you realize its worth to you.
…seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat [“all that I give is given to myself”], and ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He speaks, and recognize He speaks your words to you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 126, W-pI.126.8:5;9:2-3;10:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 126 Insights.)
The basis of true forgiveness is the recognition that nothing can happen to change or harm God’s Son. To the part of our mind that believes separation is real, this is impossible. So we need to turn to the Holy Spirit, the part of our mind that knows the truth, for help to recognize that harm is impossible and nothing has happened to separate us from eternal Love.
When we are willing to receive the Holy Spirit’s lesson and see with His vision that there is nothing to forgive because nothing happened, forgiveness is automatic. We are able to see that only the Love in our brothers is true. We are able to see our brother as one with us, wholly harmless and truly loving. This is why giving and receiving are the same. When we see the love in our brothers, we experience the love in ourselves.
