ACIM Chapter 9 The HS Plan of Forgiveness

Perhaps the most difficult thing to comprehend (we cannot understand it) in ACIM is the fact that it is completely 100% uncompromising. This applies to ‘forgiveness’, which is either practiced completely and without reservation or not at all. This is virtually impossible for the ego to accept, as it’s survival is based on being the sole doorway to ‘forgiveness’… in which it interprets as seeing the sinful act and judging the relative ‘sin’ of it then choosing to ‘forgive’ the evil doer. As the course points out however, acknowledging the reality of any ‘sin’ makes it real in our minds, at which point we proceed to ‘forgive’ or give charity to the one who we have just branded as unforgivable. Look, let’s admit it to ourselves, it just doesn’t work that way here or anywhere else. The course looks on ‘forgiveness’ in this way: “Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, and thus keeping it unreal for you.

The Way to Remember

From ACIM ‘The Way to Remember God’ “The light in them shines as brightly regardless of the density of the fog that obscures it. If you give no power to the fog to obscure the light, it has none.

Do not allow your brother not to remember, for his forgetfulness is yours. But your remembering is his, for God cannot be remembered alone. This is what you have forgotten. To perceive the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God’s Answer to your forgetting is but the way to remember.” Click here to view/print as a PDF: The Way toRemember

Milwaukee Police Chief Impromptu Speech
