The Path to Certain Safety and Peace

Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined.

Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. ²Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. ³For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. ⁴Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. ⁵Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. ⁶For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.

In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. ²Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart. (A Course in Miracles, W-336. See also ACIM Lesson 336 Insights.)

Without belief in separation, there is no need for perception. Perception involves a perceiver and something separate to be perceived. When we forgive the wish for specialness and separation, the need for perception fades. When forgiveness is complete, perception is no more. With complete forgiveness, all that is acknowledged is Love’s oneness.

In Love there is nothing external to perceive. In this recognition we find perfect peace. The path from conflict to peace, from fear to Love, is forgiveness. We have been given a Guide to help us follow the path that is lit with Love and brings us Home to It’s certain safety, It’s peace and joy.
