Forgiveness First

Understanding the metaphysics of the Course is required in order to understand forgiveness, but it may be helpful to some people if you stress forgiveness first, then bring in the dreamlike nature of the world and other features of the truth gradually.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

No Alternative to God's Peace

There is no substitute for peace. What God creates has no alternative.

It's This Lifetime

When you forgive in one lifetime, you help the Holy Spirit heal all of them.

Trials Are But Lessons

Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn presented once again so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you.

Forgiveness is Freedom

Component of Forgiveness Part 5

An important component of your forgiveness is that you want to teach people, silently, that they are not bodies. That's how your mind learns for certain that you are not a body. As the Course puts it, ‘I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.’ And, ‘As you teach so shall you learn.’

Component of Forgiveness Part 4

An additional component of forgiveness would be that after you forgive, if you feel some kind of action is required, then ALWAYS ask the Holy Spirit if there's anything you should do. Remember, the Holy Spirit doesn't do anything in the world, EVER. But He CAN inspire you as to what you should do.

And even though the Holy Spirit doesn’t do anything in the world, His interpretation of the level of form can help you see more clearly what you should do here. That’s just a fringe benefit of choosing Him as your Teacher, not the main reason, which is salvation.

Component of Forgiveness Part 3

The final major component of the attitude of forgiveness: TRUST THE HOLY SPIRIT AND CHOOSE HIS STRENGTH. The peace of the Holy Spirit will be given to you if you do your job. He will heal the larger, unconscious mind that is hidden from you, and give you His peace at the same time. This peace may not always come right away, and sometimes it will. Sometimes it may surprise you in the form of something happening that would usually upset you – except this time it doesn’t. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Component of Forgiveness Part 2

Another component of forgiveness would be to FORGIVE BOTH YOUR PROJECTED IMAGES AND YOURSELF FOR DREAMING THEM. The Course tells you to forgive your brother for what he hasn’t done. That would be true forgiveness because, as the Course also says, you’re not making the error real. You’re not giving truth to your illusions; you’re bringing your illusions to the truth. Now it’s time to forgive yourself for dreaming this whole mess in the first place. ~The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Component of Forgiveness Part 1

A component of practicing forgiveness when you're confronted by an opportunity would be to REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE DREAMING. You authored the dream and made the figures in it act out for you, so you could see your unconscious guilt outside yourself. If you remember you're dreaming, then there's nothing out there but your own projection. Once you believe that – and belief only comes from practice and experience – then there's no need for what you're seeing and now forgiving to have any impact on you. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

World is not Your Home

Salvation is no more than a reminder this world is not your home.

Set Yourself Free

He is at his own mercy. And where he chooses to be merciful, there is he free. But where he chooses to condemn instead, there is he held a prisoner, waiting in chains his pardon on himself to set him free.

Forgiveness Equals No Fear

What could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven?

Rubber Meets the Road

Forgiveness is where the rubber meets the road. Without forgiveness, metaphysics are useless.

Love is Not Learned

Love is not learned. Its meaning lies within itself. And learning ends when you have recognized all it is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Remembering to Laugh

It's important to remember to laugh. Remember what J says in the Text, "Into eternity where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh."

You See Sin or Heaven

Sin has no place in Heaven, where its results are alien and can no more enter than can their source. And therein lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him IS Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven is lost to you. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Fake Happiness

Elusive happiness, or happiness in changing form that shifts with time and place, is an illusion that has no meaning. Happiness must be constant, because it is attained by giving up the wish for the INconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except through constant vision. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

The Peace of God

The Bible speaks of the "the peace of God which passeth understanding." This peace is totally incapable of being shaken by errors of any kind. It denies the ability of anything not of God to affect you. This is the proper use of denial. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Pain is the Problem

When the Course says you cannot be hurt, it means that practicing the kind of forgiveness that knows you cannot really be hurt will eventually result in the same ability as J had, not to suffer or feel pain. How significant will your problems be then? ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Finding Joy

How else can you find joy in a joyless place except by realizing that you are not there?

The Will of God

One thing is sure; God, Who created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin nor its results. The shrouded figures in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose Will it is they live. They are not following His Will; they are opposing it.

Bodies Can't Keep You Apart

The Holy Spirit's love says that bodies cannot keep you apart. Rejoin with yourself through forgiveness, that you and your brothers and sisters may be one and unlimited. Then, if you should choose to join with bodies on the level of form after that, you are simply doing what you're supposed to do - the same things you would have done anyway. Now you do them with forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit is with you. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Nobody Can Take it Away

Nobody can really take the peace of God away from you except by your own decision.

No Need to Clarify

There is no need to further clarify what no one in the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

You're the One Forgiveness Helps

It might help you to remember that you're the one whom forgiveness helps. You don't always have to care personally about the person you're forgiving. Your job is simply to correct your misperceptions, and it isn't against the rules to know that you can't help but benefit because of it.

Brother, you need forgiveness of your brother, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together.

It's Only a Dream

It's only a dream, and it's actually possible for you to have the kind of peace of mind and lack of fear that would accompany the conviction of that truth. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

No Pain

Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and this He would remove.
