The Forgiven World

Holy Spirit to Mary:
You can remember that the past is gone and that you are in Heaven now. The way you do this is to hand over all your thoughts to Me. I will show you the difference between the real and the unreal. As you see separation’s unreality, peace will return to your conflicted mind. You need no longer struggle with illusions. Just hand them over and be open to receiving the truth.

The Light has come. As you allow the veil to be lifted, the truth that is always there is allowed to return to your mind. Fear disappears and what is true remains. The Love and peace of God are true for eternity and you along with every brother deserve to return to what is true. Let today be a day of practice in allowing Me to return your mind to what is forever true. Forgiveness is the means. Let that time be now.

Robert:
What stood out to me today as we read A Course in Miracles, Chapter 17, Section II. The Forgiven World, was this:

The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this world, and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason that He brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason here at all. (T-17.II.5:1-3)

This makes it very clear to me that to experience the real world of complete forgiveness, I need the real reason that the Holy Spirit brings. Within the thought system of separation there is no reason. So while I am aligned with the thought of separation, I have no reason to use for forgiveness. If I attempt to search my mind on my own, it simply becomes the ego examining itself. Then this self-examination is used for self-judgment, since that is all the ego does.

Forgiveness requires the help of the Holy Spirit. As I am willing to bring all my thoughts and perceptions to the Holy Spirit, He will work with me to show me the mistaken ideas and uncover the seeming reasons on which these perceptions are based. As I allow myself to accept His real reason, I will learn that there is no reason for any of my perceptions. With this recognition, these perceptions will be easily let go, making way for perception of the real world. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being ever present, ready to offer your kind and gentle transformation.
