Forgiving the Wish for Specialness

The face of Christ has to be seen before the memory of God can return. ²The reason is obvious. ³Seeing the face of Christ involves perception. ⁴No one can look on knowledge. ⁵But the face of Christ is the great symbol of forgiveness. ⁶It is salvation. ⁷It is the symbol of the real world. ⁸Whoever looks on this no longer sees the world. ⁹He is as near to Heaven as is possible outside the gate. ¹⁰Yet from this gate it is no more than just a step inside. ¹¹It is the final step. ¹²And this we leave to God.

…the unity that [forgiveness] reflects becomes His Will. ³It is the only thing still in the world in part, and yet the bridge to Heaven.”

“How lovely does the world become in just that single instant when you see the truth about yourself reflected there. ²Now you are sinless and behold your sinlessness. ³Now you are holy and perceive it so. ⁴And now the mind returns to its Creator; the joining of the Father and the Son, the Unity of unities that stands behind all joining but beyond them all. ⁵God is not seen but only understood. ⁶His Son is not attacked but recognized.” A Course in Miracles, (C-3.4;5:2-3;8)

The world we seem to live in is a diversion. It is an outward picture of an inward wish for specialness. The body we perceive this through is the ego’s principle instrument to make our perceptions seem real. Yet we are learning nothing we perceive outside us can be true. Nothing exists outside the unity of God’s Love.

The practice of true forgiveness is the means to let go of our wish for specialness. When we let go of all the forms of differences we perceive, with the Holy Spirit’s help, we will perceive the oneness of Love in all things, including our true Self. This is the face of Christ. Today we take the Holy Spirit’s Hand and let Him guide us in all our doings.
