III. The Correction of Error, P 3
3 If you point out the errors of your brother’s ego you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be true, since there is no communication between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from it. Since He does not understand it, He does not judge it, knowing that nothing the ego makes means anything.
I long to reach the point that I see as the Holy Spirit sees. I want to learn to disregard errors of every kind as if they did not exist. And surely that is the truth. Errors are not truth and so they are meaningless. Why do I pay attention to them as if they were reality? Only what God created is reality and he did not create errors.
Really, when I give my attention to errors, mine or someone else’s, I am giving my attention to nothing. It would not matter at all except that as I focus on the error, I suffer. I cannot enter into God’s presence if I attack His Son. Being unaware of God’s presence is the very definition of suffering.
Today I am asking the Holy Spirit to bring to my attention those moments when I am staring mesmerized at the error. Help me to “snap out of it,” Holy Spirit. I know this is always about healing my own mind. If I see error it can only be that I am seeing through the error in my mind. I am seeing the error in another because I believe in error, I think it is real, and I think it matters. That is the error in my mind. So no matter where I see error, my only function is to accept the Atonement for myself. That part, at least, is clear and easy for me to understand.
