VIII. The Problem and the Answer, P 12

12 If you perceive offense in a brother pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in Christ and be not offended by Him, for there is no offense in Him. If what you perceive offends you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God’s Son whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offenses of God’s Son against himself and perceive no one but through His guidance, for He would save you from all condemnation. Accept His healing power and use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son of God, in whom He is not deceived

Journal
If my brother offends me it can only be that I believe in the illusion I see rather than in his reality, and that I am interpreting that illusion according to my own skewed beliefs. My solution is to allow my own mind to be healed. Then I will see differently and I will interpret according to the Holy Spirit. I will recognize the Christ in my brother and in so doing I will heal both him and myself.

No matter what I do or think or say, the Holy Spirit knows the truth of my nature. He knows I was created by God, like God, and that this cannot be altered, not even by the seemingly endless dreams of separation. I can wrack up lifetime after lifetime of unreal experiences, but nothing changes. I am still holy, still perfect innocence.

The Holy Spirit, through His unwavering certainty, saves me, and all of us, from all condemnation. I accept His healing power as He sends it to me, and I offer it to my brothers in place of my offense. As I allow the Holy Spirit to remove all offenses from my mind, I am free to offer this healing to everyone sent to me for that purpose. I am a link in the chain of forgiveness that frees us all.
