Only my condemnation injures me.

“Condemn and you are made prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules perception.” (para.2)

“Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.” (para.9)

I can relate to this line from the lesson as more and more I can see peoples’ reactions are just defensiveness as a means to hide things from themselves. I feel empathy and understanding, but I have no idea how to respond.

What to say when someone is expressing their own illusions about a situation? I will leave this open question to HS to bring the answer in perfect timing.

“Only my own forgiveness sets me free.”

I hurt myself.

“Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fail to hide and unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.”

I can release unforgiving thoughts. These things are unimportant compared to the real eternal life in Love that I seek. It can be here and now.

Forgiveness heals me.

My finding the Presence of Love within me, to look on the Loving innocence of others brings healing to this world.

Holy Child of God.

Forgiveness = seeing things differently
