Forgetting

Forgetting: 

to remember that it's a practice, that forgiveness isn't a one and done deal but an entire lifetime of undoing what we believe is real and lasting. The common theme most often heard now is that one should forgive, yes, yet never forget lest we get hurt again. Of course this only serves to keep the event fresh in mind, we're ego-watchful for the slightest sign of wrong doing. 

never really at peace with ourselves or others. 

from the perspective of A Course in Miracles, forgiveness isn't even of memory, or anything else that makes a hurtful moment seem real. When we forgive, or as we practice doing so, we simply return to the original innocence of the present moment, wise and discerning, yet without a past to hold against anyone. We're free, no longer crucified by a done existence past, and we're now willing to extend this same freedom to others. 

we've chosen the resurrection. 

so the truth here is to forget our own perceived sins, and not to make them seem real again. Once our own innocence is recognized, truly so, we can only offer it to others as an extension of our love. As the Course explains at the very beginning -

only love is real.

nothing unreal exist.

therein lies the peace of God.
