Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here. Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.
Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dream. No light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 333, W-pII.333. See also ACIM Lesson 333 Insights.)
We have been given the ultimate gift — the means to free ourselves from the bondage of fear and guilt. This gift was given to us by our loving Creator Whose compassion does not want His Creation to suffer. Forgiveness is the means. The Holy Spirit, our True Self, is the Guide we must follow to learn to truly forgive.
True forgiveness comes with the recognition that in truth, nothing in the world we perceive can change what we were created to be. Nothing can change the Love we and all our brothers are. Constant extension of Love is our natural state of being. Forgiveness clears the way for us to be what we have always been, free of self deception and limitation.
Today we choose to put the Holy Spirit in the driver’s seat on our journey of awakening. We yield our perceptions to Him with willingness to receive His vision. His Light will shine away all conflict and we will remember that we have always been united in one Love.
