Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before.… Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is; a simple teaching aid, to be laid by when learning is complete, but hardly changing him who learns at all.
Only forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home. Only forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon his holiness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 192, W-pI.192.4:1,3;5:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 192 Insights.)
We have the means by which to return to peace and happiness. As our willingness to open to the Holy Spirit grows, we are gently led to wake up from the dream. We are gently led to follow instead of deciding things on our own.
We have the means, right within our mind. Our willingness to forgive opens the door to see the world differently. The more we relax and listen, and follow as we are led, we find a new way of living in this world. Forgiveness paves the way to happiness and peace beyond what we thought possible. And for this we give thanks.
