Our purpose in this world is to bring peace. This is not a superficial peace where there appears to be peace, but conflict ripples beneath the surface. This is a deep peace where all conflict is gone despite what appears on the surface. One might call this a deep knowing of the reality of our true peaceful nature. There is nothing but peace in Heaven. There is nothing but love in Heaven. There is no conflict in reality – none at all. This may be hard to accept when we seem to see conflict all around us. The conflict around us is an illusion. It is a distorted, twisted look at peace that appears as conflict only because we believe it is real. Why do we continually offer each other conflict? No one likes it. However, instead of refusing to be in conflict – looking beyond conflict – we look at conflict as the problem and thus try to resolve the symptom rather than the problem. The problem is unforgiveness.
Child of peace, the light has come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny themselves the vision that they bring to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift they let be laid in Heaven through themselves? The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now Spirit’s means must love all that Spirit loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can long remain in a mind that serves the timeless. And no illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship that has become the means of peace. T-22.VI.6:1-9
Look upon the one you are in relationship with in this moment. Look on them with complete forgiveness, excluding no error and hiding nothing. There is no mistake anywhere you cannot overlook from complete forgiveness. No form of suffering can block our sight, preventing us from seeing past it. Recognize each form of illusion as a mistake; a shadow through which we may walk completely undismayed. Remember, forgiveness is not tolerance of anyone’s mistakes, it is looking beyond the appearance of mistakes to the truth of who they really are – to see the love, light and peace that is their true being. We may think they have sinned, but it is our own mistaken perception that sees them as sinful. Complete forgiveness is looking beyond the appearance of sim to their holiness which lies beyond the unholy appearance we think we see through our own judgment of them.
You will see your value through another’s eyes, and each one is released as they behold their savior in place of the attacker who they thought was there. Through this releasing is the world released. This is your part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your function here, and have been answered. Seek not to change it, nor to substitute another goal. This one was given you, and only this. Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the Holy Spirit does with gifts you give another, to whom Spirit offers them, and where and when, is up to Spirit. Sprit will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. Spirit will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost to anyone. T-22.VI.8:1-10
We need not worry if the appearance of the healing appears in time, for Spirit directs the healing we offer to another to occur when another is ready to receive it. This is the holy purpose of the illusion of time. Know that you have completely forgiven another and looked beyond any appearance of nonacceptance to their holiness. In this way we are another’s savior. A holy relationship is one that has been transformed by one or the other through complete forgiveness – excluding no one error or mistake. It is universal blessing to look on what our Creator loves with charity. Leave to Spirit the function to extend forgiveness in It’s own time. We need only concern ourselves with offering forgiveness. Offer the tiny gifts that extend forever. Spirit will take each tiny gift and make it a potent force for peace. Each little gift of love is a source of healing for everyone. Each little gift we offer to each other lights up the world. Look away from darkness and toward the holiness in each other. Light is lain gently in each quiet smile of faith and confidence with which we bless each other. Be the blessing you are.
