Forgive

Forgive: 

it's such a simply declaration, tucked away in lesson 193 of A Course in Miracles, and yet it contains the essence of what the Course would have us learn through the entirety of its teaching. The lesson itself is titled All things are lessons God would have me learn, a valuable idea to keep in mind as a means to reframe any experience that's causing pain, or keeping our thoughts ensnared in suffering long after the event has passed. But it's this line, repeated twice, that captures the spirit of the Course for me...

forgive, and I will see this differently. 

such a gentle reminder that, indeed, forgiveness will transform the entire world for me, with my perspective changing just as quickly as I'm willing to let my every judgement go. This is the forgiveness that the Course offers, not bound by time, a transcendental moment of experiencing my original innocence within a holy instant - and all done by request. 

that's the lesson, truly, the only one given throughout the Course.

everything is given over to the Holy Spirit,

our right mind.

and then innocence is immediately restored.

our world transformed.

forgive, 

and I will see that this is so.

I love you, Eric
