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

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.

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
