Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.  Forgiveness grows and blooms from the understanding that nothing wrong ever happened.  It’s all been a dream.

Cousin Albert never left His Wife and ten Children homeless, hungry and bereft.  There is no Cousin Albert, no Wife, and no ten Children as God’s Reality.  There is but the Son of God, infinitely expressed.  And this Expression includes the Sons who did believe that They were Albert and His “little Woman” and the Kids.

Ditto for all Your stories.  For if You keep hanging around to make sure they turn out well, You’re not focused on Awakening.  And that does include the economy and the election.  Why not wake up before November sixth, for the whole dream is but an empty chair.  There is nothing there.

 

¹ Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. – At first it seems familiar to You so the shift from pain to happiness is not too overwhelming.  It will be like all Your best dreams come true. – It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the Light that it reflects. – This shift will be very natural to You. – And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the Light from Which he came.  And which He never truly left but in His nightmare dreaming

.

² Father, we would return our minds to You. The only Mind We really have is Yours.

 

We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. –These seeming minds were but insanity. – Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.  It’s good to be Home.

What is the World?

It is but a strange attempt to change God’s good Reality that never happened.

^ST241:1The world is false perception.  It is but a very narrowed and oblique point of view of God’s Reality.  It is born of error, – that’s never outgrown – and it has not left its source – which is the ego.

 

It will remain no longer than the thought which gave it birth is cherished. – Thoughts of loneliness and separation. – When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. What is the true forgiveness Father-Mother, Elder Brother?

This is the perfect question that You’ve asked. The word – the way it’s used most commonly – means different things to different states of mind.  The ordinary definition is You being ‘big enough’ to deign to ‘forgive’ another for their terrible transgressions against You.  Transgressions that seem very ‘real’ to You!

This makes You feel very holy and leaves Your Brother still a sinner, albeit ‘forgiven’ One.  This does not heal Your Brother, and it doesn’t heal You either.  It simply feeds the voracious ego.  This won’t heal the world!

You ask Me what will?  Only Your realization that You must forgive Your Brother for what never, ever, really happened.

It’s all been a dream, like Alice going down the rabbit hole.  Your whole world, billions of ‘births’ and ‘deaths’ – and all the stories in between – You’ve dreamed them all belovèd Son of God.  And now it’s time to Awaken.  Wake up sleepy Son!

 

Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.  What was the source but the desire to do things on Your own.  Has it been worth it?  You know it hasn’t.  So why not stop it.  Yes.  Now!  This minute!

Don’t do another thing alone, without listening for Me or Holy Spirit.

² The world was made as an attack on God. – resulting in fear that never leaves You.  The idea of separation is unnatural, and therefore, it is frightful. – It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love’s absence? – To believe that You could separate from God is to seem to lose Your Source of Love.  And thus Your behavior begins to show this, with Your focus on “number One”. Selfishness, quite unknown to God, began. – Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not and where His Son could be apart from Him. – And do as He pleased, (which wasn’t pleasing to all His Brothers).  Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts.  – Because all True Knowing Knows only Good. – But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. – The lovely Son of God now seems deformed. – Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone.  The Son has blocked out His Identity.  He now believes that He is something called a ‘human being’, man made out of dirt instead of Spirit.  He is now insane, although His insanity now seems quite reasonable to Him.

³ The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. – Truth stands right at hand, yet It is ignored, as are Life and Love.  The ‘game’ gets worse every passing moment.  Yet the fallen Son is in His ‘glory’ (or so He believes). – And now they – sleepings Sons of God – go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfil the purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but illusion, which is kept apart from truth.  For the eyes that will not to see are blind.

⁴ As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. – It takes a little willingness to break the mesmerism. – Sounds become the call of God.  –The faithful answer. – And all perception can be given a new purpose by the one Whom God appointed savior to the world. – Let Me, for You, hold wide the door of the Holy Spirit.  His Vision is True. – Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. – Shut up the ego.  Attend only to the Holy Spirit. – And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away but Heaven has preserved for you in Him.  See how You are Loved!

⁵ Let us not rest content until the world has joined our changed perception. – Let Us now understand what it means to be here for giving. – Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. – Until You Love God and All Your Others as You Love Yourself.– And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die be restored to Everlasting Life.   We Who made it must be willing to unmake it.  It is Our minds that need to change.  And as We willingly and joyously choose to change Our minds and then We do it, We will see the world change back into Our glorious Heaven.

[Thank you Dear Brother]
