Truth answers every call we make to God, Responding first with miracles, and then Returning unto us to be Itself.
Forgiveness, truth’s reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word, and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You, as You appointed that the way shall be:
“Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 357, W-pII.357. See also ACIM Lesson 357 Insights.)
Forgiveness works at the level of perception. That is why forgiveness is a reflection, in the world of perception, of the oneness of God’s Love. In oneness, there is no “other” to perceive. But we believe we are in a world of perception. Forgiveness is the Holy Spirit’s teaching aid to help us change our perception from the ego’s frame of reference — its judgments and divisiveness.
As we lay down the ego’s barriers to Love, we see the Love in our brother reflected back to us and we learn that we are Love. Forgiveness shows us the innocence of our brother. This vision heals our guilt because we see that the truth in our brother and ourselves is one and the same. Forgiveness frees us from the ego’s hell of separation and opens the door to recognizing our Self at Home in God.
Today we practice bring all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit for his loving correction.
