Sins Are Mistakes (WB lesson 134)

Today’s lesson was: Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.

The first sentence in ¶ 4 stood out to me:
“Because you think your sins are real, you look on pardon as deception.”

Then Spirit continued with:
Your “sins” are only mistakes—-mistakes are illusions. Mistaken thoughts make a world that in itself is meaningless. Accept only that there have been mistakes, poor choices, unguided thinking, and wrong perception—-they are all the same. There is no sin! There is no sin because you have not left your Source. The idea of separation was corrected the instant it was made. The dream of separation is only a dream. It is the dream you can wake from. Is it not more fearful to remain in a nightmare than to wake from it?

Forgiveness is real only in the sense that it undoes all false perceptions; it undoes illusion.
Thus will it undo the idea of separation. Hide no thought from the gift of forgiveness.
Forgiveness can be “done” any where and any moment. It is your choice for real or unreal.
Your choice to be happy (real) or right (unreal). Surely you have noticed by now how being right has never brought peace, happiness or love to you or anyone.

Forgiveness undoes the belief that your definition or meaning of anything has truth.
Forgiveness is the way to truth.
Forgiveness brings the experience of love to your awareness.
Forgiveness releases the false.
Forgiveness offers everything you want.

Accept this gift—-the means by which you are released.
It is the means by which you wake from the dream.

Me: Thank you Holy Spirit!
