Bringing Healing to Our Unforgiving Mind

Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from hell through you, and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and now.

The unforgiving mind does not believe that giving and receiv­ing are the same. Yet we will try to learn today that they are one through practicing forgiveness toward one whom you think of as an enemy, and one whom you consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we will extend the lesson to yourself, and see that their escape included yours.

Do not forget, throughout the day, the role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every unforgiving mind, with yours among them. Every hour tell yourself:

Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible and full of sin, and know I am the perfect Son of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 121, W-pI.121.7:1-2;9;13:4-7. See also ACIM Lesson 121 Insights.)

The perception of differences is a key tool in the ego’s bag of tricks to convince us that separation is real. Anger at what we perceive someone did seems different from disappointment that someone missed a scheduled meeting. But this range of perception depends on belief in differences which is belief in separation. This belief makes one offense seem more difficult to forgive than another.

We are being taught that the foundation of all differences is the belief in separation. Without this mistaken belief, the world and all of its images fade from sight. Christ’s vision supersedes all the differences the body’s eyes see. The oneness of Love shines away the shadows of separation. We recognize every brother as one with us in Love as we awaken to our Home in God.

Today we remind ourselves to forgive each perception that disturbs our peace and remember we are joined with every brother in the oneness of God’s Son.
