‘And you will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what YOU want, and needs the SAME as you. It takes, perhaps, a different FORM in him, but it is NOT the form you answer to. He asks and YOU receive, for you have come with but ONE purpose; that you both may learn you love each other with a brother’s love. And AS a brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself. Together is your joint inheritance remembered and accepted by you both. Alone it is denied to both of you.’
Who has already forgiven me through His Son being also a Son
Forgiveness and Pardon
He that is without Sin cast the first stone !!!
‘Forgiveness RECOGNIZED as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to OVERLOOK illusions. This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too. There CAN be no appearance that can NOT be overlooked. For, if there were, it would be necessary FIRST there be some sin which stands BEYOND forgiveness. There would be an error that is MORE than a mistake; a special FORM of error, which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond correction or escape. There would be one mistake which had the power to UNDO creation, and to make a world which could REPLACE it, and DESTROY the Will of God. Only if this were possible could there be SOME appearances which could withstand the miracle, and NOT be healed by it.
There is no surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness forgiveness CANNOT cure. This means that you prefer to keep SOME idols, and are not prepared, as yet, to let ALL idols go. And thus you think that SOME appearances are real, and not appearances at all. Be not deceived about the MEANING of a fixed belief that SOME appearances are harder to look past than others are. It ALWAYS means you think forgiveness must be limited. And you have set a goal of partial pardon and a limited escape from guilt FOR YOU. What can this be, except a false forgiveness of YOURSELF, and everyone who seems APART from you?’
Forgiveness is Healing
Healing is Wholeness
Wholeness through Forgiveness is
A Miracle
This all stems from
Unconditional Love
By Faith
Totally Merited
From the FATHER
Through the Son
Freely Given
Freely Received
If you cannot forgive others their mistakes
How can you forgive yourself of your own mistakes ???
Only God can forgive through His Son
We are all His offspring one blood one flesh one Spirit
‘It MUST be true the miracle can heal ALL forms of sickness, or it CANNOT HEAL. Its purpose cannot be to judge which FORMS are real, and which APPEARANCES are true. If one appearance must remain APART from healing, one illusion must be part of truth. And you could NOT escape all guilt, but only SOME of it. You must forgive God’s Son ENTIRELY. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole, and will remain afraid to look within, and find escape from EVERY idol there. Salvation rests on faith there CANNOT be some forms of guilt which you can NOT forgive. And so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the truth about God’s Son.

Fear cannot ARISE unless attack is justified. And if it HAD a real foundation, pardon would have none. The real world is achieved when you perceive the basis of FORGIVENESS is quite real and fully justified.’
Therefore we are to be the merciful
We are to forgive our brothers and sisters their sins ‘seventy times seven’ !
We are to Love even as our FATHER is LOVE
I am forgiven of the past mistakes by the FATHER through the Son
Therefore who am I to hold back that forgiveness from you too?

Look on your brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole. And what is whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. Forgiveness rests on recognizing this, and being GLAD there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must LACK the power to heal. God’s Son is perfect, or he cannot be God’s Son. Nor will you KNOW him, if you think he does not merit the escape from guilt in ALL its forms and ALL its consequence. There IS no way to think of him but this, if you would know the truth about yourself:
“I thank you, Father, for your perfect Son, And in his glory will I see my own.”
Here is the joyful statement that there are NO forms of evil which can overcome the Will of God; the glad acknowledgment that guilt has NOT succeeded, by your wish, to make illusions real. And what is this, except a simple statement of the truth? Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he COULD not make an error that could change the truth in him. It is NOT difficult to overlook mistakes that have been given no effects. But what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of God, you will NOT pardon. For he has become to you a graven image, and a sign of death. Is THIS your Saviour? Is his Father WRONG about His Son? Or have YOU been deceived in him who has been given you to heal, for YOUR salvation and deliverance?’
All Sickness can be healed
All Sin can be forgiven
Idols cannot be attacked only exposed by the truth !!!
What Is My Will ???
I Call You My Friend
GOD sees you as His Son His Daughter
Therefore I also see you as my Brother and Sister
‘You WILL attack what does not satisfy, and thus you will not see you made it up. You ALWAYS fight illusions. For the truth behind them is so lovely and so still in loving gentleness, were you AWARE of it, you would forget defensiveness entirely, and rush to its embrace. The truth could never BE attacked. And this you knew when you made idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack but FALSE ideas, and NEVER truthful ones. All idols ARE the false ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and what is true. And you attack them for the things you think they REPRESENT. What lies BEYOND them cannot BE attacked.
The wearying, dissatisfying gods you made are blown-up children’s toys. A child IS frightened when a wooden head springs up as a closed box is opened suddenly. Or when a soft and silent wooly bear begins to squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he made for boxes and for bears have failed him, and have broken his control of what surrounds him. And he is afraid because he thought the rules PROTECTED him. Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did NOT deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his world is made chaotic and unsafe. HE WAS MISTAKEN. He misunderstood what MADE him safe, and thought that it had left.
The gap that is not there is filled with toys in countless forms. And each one seems to break the rules you set for it. It never WAS the thing you thought. It MUST appear to break your rules for safety, since the RULES are wrong. But YOU are not endangered. You can laugh at popping heads and squeaking toys, as does the child who learns they are no threat to him. But while he likes to play with them, he still perceives them as obeying rules he made for his enjoyment. So there still are rules which they can seem to break, and frighten him. Yet IS he at the mercy of his toys? And CAN they represent a threat to him?
Reality observes the laws of God, and NOT the rules you set. It is His laws which GUARANTEE your safety. All illusions that you believe about yourself obey NO laws. They seem to dance a little while, according to the rules you set for them. But then they fall, and cannot rise again. They are but toys, my children. Do not grieve for them. Their dancing never brought you joy, but neither were they things to frighten you, nor make you safe if they obeyed your rules. They must be neither cherished NOR attacked, but merely looked upon as children’s toys, without a SINGLE meaning of their own. See ONE in them, and you will see them all. See NONE in them, and they will touch you not.
Appearances deceive BECAUSE they are appearances, and not reality. Dwell not on them in ANY form. They but OBSCURE reality. And they bring fear BECAUSE they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have made to LET you be deceived. For thus you prove that you HAVE BEEN deceived. Attack HAS power to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing.
Who could be made fearful by a power that can have no REAL effects at all? What could it BE but an illusion, making things appear like to itself? Look calmly at its toys, and understand that they are idols which but dance to vain desires. Give them not your worship, for they are not there. But this is EQUALLY forgotten in attack.
God’s Son needs NO defense against his dreams. His idols do not threaten him at all. His ONE mistake is that he thinks them real. What can the power of illusions DO?
Appearances can but deceive the mind that WANTS to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that will forever place you far BEYOND perdeception. You need not concern yourself with HOW this will be done, for this you cannot understand. But you WILL understand that mighty changes have been quickly brought about, when you decide one very simple thing; you do not WANT whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And thus IS he free.
Salvation is a paradox indeed! What could it be EXCEPT a happy dream? For you are asked but to forgive all things that no-one ever did; to overlook what is not there; and not to look upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your will be done, and seek no longer for the things you do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you never were, and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will of God.
Here does the dream of separation start to fade and disappear. For here the gap that is not there begins to be perceived without the toys of terror that you made.
No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so little, NOT so much. It asks for NOTHING in reality. And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is the ONLY rule for happy dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for NOTHING. And the Son of God CAN have no need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could ever want. He is delivered from illusions by his will, and but restored to what he IS. What could God’s plan for his salvation BE, except a means to give him to Himself.’
It takes two to tango.
Which Two ???
Which two parties are tangoing in this contract ?
He that has the greatest sin/error/mistake/a falling short/a missing the mark, cast the first stone of judgement.
You are forcing us to operate in an unlawful and illegal way
By pretending to be the debtors when we know that we are the Creditors
We discredit ourselves
We are doing it to the least of our Brothers and Sisters
We have nailed Christ on the cross
We have considered unworthy that which was offered up to the FATHER in LOVE through the SON
In fact we also were introduced to
OUR FATHER
AS THE SON
THE BODY
THE BRIDE
THE ARMOUR
SONS BY INHERITANCE
ALL
Nations, Tribes, Kindred,
ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS
In fact we all are JOINT Creditors
IN THE SON
Some have to defraud, steal, cheat, lie, and hide the truth:
Just to find out
THAT
We All Are One
So what I am doing to someone else
I Am doing it to me
Why am I punishing myself and my family ?
Why am I defrauding myself of my inheritance ?
Which is exactly the same as anybody else’s.
Stake your claim
Put a division a separation between
One
Place a time stamp upon Eternity
Then tell me who/what/where/when/why
I AM THAT I AM
When you reach this side
Tell me Who You are
I AM THAT I AM
IT IS WHAT IT IS
All is Transmitted
All Is Received
As One
Tell me which separate part can exist ?
Whose origin is not of our FATHER ?
Whose Creation is of Man ?
Nothing can exist now except this moment in Eternity
This Work in itself to maintain
Must take ALL OF CREATION
IN THE CREATOR
Working on the same wavelength
For Good
For Peace
For Love
For Forgiveness
For Joy Unspeakable
For Grace
For Strength
For Love
For
GOD IS LOVE
