Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but unforgiveness. Yet that is the content underneath the form.
How can you tell when you are seeing wrong, or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the lesson is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind that sees the pain through eyes the mind directs.
God would not have you suffer thus. He would help you forgive yourself.
There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and to salvation of the world. To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:
I will forgive, and this will disappear.
To every apprehension, every care and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven’s gate, and brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. (W-pI.193.4:1-2;7:1-8:2;13:1-5)
The Holy Spirit brings us God’s training program to set us free from fear and guilt, from pain and suffering. The lesson exercises of this program are given to us all day, every day, in every moment. Every perception that seems to bring pain or disturb my peace brings us the lesson that will set us free.
The first step is to remind ourselves, “I will forgive and this will disappear.” With this, we need to bring willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s replacement perception which will show us what we have perceived is not real and that what is real is Love.
If we are willing to receive Holy Spirit’s vision, the appearances of attack and defense will fade away as we learn the lesson of true forgiveness. With our willingness, today promises to be a day of release and recognition of our true Self as our Identity. We will learn that only Love is real.
