Condemn and you are made a prisoner. ²Forgive and you are freed. ³Such is the law that rules perception. ⁴It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge. ⁵To condemn is thus impossible in truth. ⁶What seems to be its influence and its effects have not occurred at all. ⁷Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. ⁸Illusion makes illusion. ⁹Except one. ¹⁰Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest. Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. ²All illusions save this one must multiply a thousandfold. ³But this is where illusions end. ⁴Forgiveness is the end of dreams, because it is a dream of waking. ⁵It is not itself the truth. ⁶Yet does it point to where the truth must be, and gives direction with the certainty of God Himself. ⁷It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are one. Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally away from death. ²How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of God Himself? (A Course in Miracles, W-198.2:1–4:2. See also ACIM Lesson 198 Insights.) Forgiveness set us free from fear and guilt, from revenge and depression. The ego resists forgiveness because judgment and condemnation are essential to maintaining its rule of our mind. Unforgiveness maintains the divisions that make separation seem real. When judgments are forgiven, God’s Love lightens our mind. It dispels the dark thoughts that have blinded us to the eternal presence of His Love. It restores our awareness of our unity with all of God’s Creation. We remember that we have one Life which we live in the Heaven of God’s Love. https://www.pathwaysoflight.org/daily_inspiration/13384
