My Errors

My errors: 

it seems a sobering thought though, a reminder given in lesson 115 of a Course in Miracles that my only function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made - and who could blame me for not being ready for such a heavy task? This could definitely feel like a burden, believing that is's my job to the do the work of fixing all of the innocent mistakes I've made, and worse, that there are many grievances I feel completely justified to carry with me. Yet, indeed, these are all my errors, every perceived sin is a mistake I've made in judgement on the world. It's all me. And now, many years into my practice of forgiveness, I find that this isn't a burden at all, but a great joy that frees me from having to carry the weight of my own misjudgment. The truth is, there's only one thing to forgive and that's  the misperception that there's a world actually here that needs forgiveness. What I'm forgiving is the singular belief that created the world to begin within - that I am separate from the love of God, and worse, that I have caused this separation through my wish to feel more special. 

that's the one error.

multiplied through the illusory appearance of t's aftereffects. 

and the great news is that the separation didn't really happen, the impossible never actually occurred, and I am guilt free and at home in God right now. And with this in mind forgiveness simply becomes a joyous remembering of my own innocence. The world is full of opportunities to remember, and yes, some feel very painful in their blessing, and it's okay to not feel ready to receive them - but what a relief to deeply know that when I'm ready, whenever that might be....heaven is revealed in a forgiven world.

and my only function here is to see it. 

as often as I'm able.

I love you, Eric
