Forgiveness Ends All Suffering

When the time comes to let it all go, will you be ready? To let go is to relinquish all attachment, all need to hold on to something. The end of suffering is the release of all that causes it. What are the causes? False beliefs about yourself and the world. What else could bring about a state of suffering in the mind created perfect by God? Suffering is illusion; the mind that thinks suffering real, has forgotten what it is and imagines itself to be something else entirely. That something else is a body, housing a mind with which it is identical. Could such an identity shift truly occur? Only in dreams where you seem to be as you are not. All authentic spiritual thought systems attempt to teach that you are not a body, separate from everything you see and your creative Source. You are Mind and Reality Itself. Only your ignorance of your eternal Reality, a kind of amnesia that is actively maintained, keeps the true experience of your Self from your awareness. (From the Christ Mind Book II, page 174)

A painful sense of profound loss is inevitable if we believe we are separate from our Source of Life and Love. A world of separation is a loveless and lonely world, experienced only because of accepting this false belief in separation. We made the choice to accept the belief. Likewise, we can make the choice to change our minds and reject the belief.

Forgiveness is the means to let go of all that is false. When we have let it all go, we will remember that we, along with all our brothers, are Love and nothing else. We will experience the infinite joy of our oneness in the Source of all Love. Forgiveness is the means to end all suffering. It is worth the moment by moment practice of letting Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts.
