The Answer to Every Problem

The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. ²The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. ³Nothing but rest is there. ⁴There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. ⁵And the sights are gentle. ⁶Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

The real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over, and God’s Son no longer sleeps. ²His waking eyes perceive the sure reflection of his Father’s Love; the certain promise that he is redeemed. ³The real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time purposeless.

…as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our forgiveness has restored to us. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.8.2;4;5:4)

Forgiveness is the answer to every problem we perceive in the world. The payoff is spectacular. It brings us perfect peace, freedom from all pain and sorrow and joy beyond description. Perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the realization that we live and have our being in Love.

Forgiveness seems difficult only because we have convinced ourselves that there is something else we can have than the real world, which we value more. But only in a dream can this seem to be true.

We have help to forgive, given us by our Creator, Who holds a place in Heaven for us, His beloved Son. Today we are vigilant for thoughts of lack of Love and we ask the Holy Spirit to help us heal these fear-based thoughts. With our open mind, we welcome His vision to help us see with forgiving eyes.

With His help, we will see the presence of Love. Where Love seems absent, we will recognize it as our call for Love, and let Him answer the call with Love. With this practice, this day can be a beautiful day of extending and being Love.
