⁶God is the Alternate to dreams of fear. ⁷Who shares in them can never share in Him. ⁸But who withdraws his mind from sharing [dreams of fear] _is_ sharing Him. ⁹There is no other choice. ¹⁰Except you share it, nothing can exist. ¹¹And you exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might create.
It is the sharing of the evil dreams of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering and pain and loss, that makes them real. ²Unshared, they are perceived as meaningless. ³The fear is gone from them because you did not give them your support. ⁴Where fear has gone there love must come, because there are but these alternatives. ⁵Where one appears, the other disappears. ⁶And which you share becomes the only one you have. ⁷You have the one that you accept, because it is the only one you wish to have.
You share no evil dreams if you forgive the dreamer, and perceive that he is not the dream he made. ²And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you both are free. ³Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil dream, and thus releases him. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.V.1:6–3:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
When we insist that bodies and what they do are real, we lock ourselves in dreams of fear. Only in dreams of differences, where some images are valued more than others, can fear seem justified. Such dreams are quests for value to reign supreme over those of lesser value.
Forgiveness withdraws the value given to differences. It releases our mind to accept the oneness of Love that is its natural state. Here we share in the peace and happiness of knowing our unity with all Creation.
