The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world, that it may be healed along with me.
Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].
I share the light of the world with you, [name].
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 82, W-pI.82:1,2:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 82 Insights.)
The Holy Spirit knows that the body and everything we experience or perceive in the world through the body are not real. He knows that we remain Love as Love created us and this can never change. This recognition is the foundation of true forgiveness. If what appears to happen in the world is unreal and cannot affect us in any way, then there is really nothing to forgive. This is the lesson He must teach to the part of our mind that is dedicated to believing separation is real.
As we practice asking the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive the things that offend, anger and bring fear and guilt to our minds, He will patiently and gently teach us to see that these things could never be true. With His kind lessons we will learn to overlook our grievances because we will realize that their seeming justification never really happened. This is how we learn to free ourselves from the bondage of fear and guilt. This is how we save the world and ourselves. We remember our Self as God’s one Son.
