The Holy Spirit’s Loving Correction

The Holy Spirit forgives everything [that is not Love] because God created everything [Love]. Do not undertake His function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the function of healing in time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the function to create [extend Love] in eternity. You do not need to learn that, but you do need to learn to want it. For that all learning was made. This is the Holy Spirit’s use of an ability [to learn] that you do not need, but that you made. Give it to Him! You do not understand how to use [learning]. He will teach you how to see yourself without condemnation, by learning how to look on everything without it. Condemnation will then not be real to you, and all your errors will be forgiven.

Atonement is for all, because it is the way to undo the belief that anything is for you alone. To forgive is to overlook. Look, then, beyond error and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your brother is [only Love], if you would know yourself. Perceive what he is not and you cannot know what you are, because you see him falsely. Remember always that your Identity is shared, and that Its sharing is Its reality. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.III.8;IV.1. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

It is helpful to remember that only Love is real and only Love creates. To give everything is to extend only Love. The ego is the denial of Love, everything that is Real. This is why forgiveness overlooks the ego’s errors. What is not real deserves no attention. While we perceive ourselves as an individual, different from our brothers, we are engaged with the ego. This is the core error that must be corrected. The ego is incapable of true correction because it cannot dismiss itself as unreal.

This is why we must rely on the Holy Spirit for true correction. He will teach us to overlook the ego’s perceptions and antics and show us the reality of Love in our brothers and ourselves. Love is our true Identity and unites us with every brother and with God.

Today we have the joyous opportunity to walk with the Holy Spirit, letting Him guide our perceptions to see only Love or calls for Love.
