Opening to Receive Love’s Blessings

The real world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness. ²Fear is not its goal, for the escape from guilt becomes its aim. ³The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of idols, which are sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not held dear. ⁴No rules are idly set, and no demands are made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear. ⁵Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as they really are. ⁶And it is recognized that all things must be first forgiven, and then understood.

⁷The world becomes a place of hope, because its only purpose is to be a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. ⁸And no one stands outside this hope, because the world has been united in belief the purpose of the world is one which all must share, if hope be more than just a dream.

²The real world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go when they are still perceived but wanted not. ³How willingly the mind can let them go when it has understood that idols are nothing and nowhere, and are purposeless. ⁴For only then can guilt and sin be seen without a purpose, and as meaningless.

Thus is the real world’s purpose gently brought into awareness, to replace the goal of sin and guilt. ²And all that stood between your image of yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.V.1;2:7-8;5:1–6:2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

We cannot understand God’s Creation as long as we want to maintain a unique identity. As long as we want separation to be real, we cannot understand the oneness of Love. Thus forgiveness of our mistaken wish for specialness opens our mind to receive Love’s blessings of peace and happiness.

When we are willing to learn, the Holy Spirit will teach us to recognize that all conflict is based on illusions that are nothing and nowhere. We forgive our mistaken perceptions and we see a world united in the limitless extension of Love.
