ACIM T-9.IV The Holy Spirit’s Plan of Forgiveness

abstract background withe sea sunriseOctober 7, 2014

Fear has no place in forgiveness. If we allow fear to enter our mind, we miss the true meaning of forgiveness and make real what is not real. Forgiveness, as guided by Spirit, lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and thus keeping error unreal for us. Any belief that error is real that enters our mind results in the belief that we must undo error, which isn’t real, to be forgiven. In reality, error has no effect for it doesn’t exist. Spirit knows error is not real and systematically and consistently cancels out all perceived effects of any error we are willing to relinquish our attachment to. Spirit is the guide to true forgiveness. Spirit guides us in changing our perception of ourselves and others. Forgiveness is the change from perceiving others as they are not to perceiving others as they truly are. Only Spirit can guide this shift. And we simply need to be willing.

Fear will always block our awareness of truth. Fear is a falsehood. When we feel fear as we look upon another, we are blocking our awareness of who another really is. Just shifting our focus to look beyond that fear illusion will allow the block to fade away into nothingness. In this perception of separateness we have believed that there is something different about another that somehow limits or threatens us. Who we are cannot be threatened or limited. Forgiveness is Spirit’s function, not ours. Our function is to allow Spirit to reveal the truth to us about each other and ourselves and believe that truth. We have nothing to fear! We are whole. We are complete. We are limitless. We are Love in its vast abundance. We are the sharers of Love. What more of an aspiration could we want? It is the perfect aspiration and that is always where Spirit will guide us. Allow all the baggage of beliefs we have piled on the word forgiveness to fall away. Spirit has a new perception of forgiveness for us and will gladly place it back in our awareness as it has never left our true mind. Look beyond all else and see the face of the Christ shining from another’s face no matter what we have seen before. Spirit will always show us the correct perception. Let it rise up in our minds and be aware of its truth and reality.

Behold, brothers and sisters, reality is here. Realty belongs to us and Spirit and God and is perfectly satisfying to all of Us. Only this awareness heals, for it is the awareness of Truth. We can want no more, for this is all there is. Join in the awareness of the miracle of awareness. The forgiveness or the letting go of mis-thoughts and mis-beliefs is the miracle of returning to the awareness of who we really are. Let go of all else and see that we are all truly the One Holy Child of God, whole, limitless, and a creator of Love.
