Resolution for All Conflict

Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.

Conflict must be resolved. ²It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. ³It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. ⁴For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.

Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. ²No light but this can end our evil dream. ³No light but this can save the world. ⁴For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-333. See also ACIM Lesson 333 Insights.)

The ego tells us that the way to resolve conflict is to suppress it, sidestep it, avoid it, but never face the cause. This is because when we fully recognize the cause of all conflict and let it go, the ego would simply cease to seem to exist.

Here we have the only answer to all conflict. Forgiveness lets the cause of conflict be released. It opens the door to the free flow of Love. We can recognize conflict in our mind because it always disturbs our peace. The recognition of this disturbance alerts us to the need for forgiveness.

The practice of bringing all our disturbing perceptions to the Holy Spirit helps us shine the Light of forgiveness on misperception. He will bring true perception which sees the oneness of Love that joins us with all that is real. Forgiveness is the one defense that leads us Home as we recognize there is nothing we need to defend in truth.
