ACIM Workbook Lesson #247
“Without forgiveness I will still be blind."
The sight which appears with forgiveness is our topic today. In this lesson, we are told that sin is the symbol of attack. The words sin and forgiveness, have always been difficult for me to understand. I feel this is because they are not a part of our real Being, and so I recoil at the words as they have been presented in their many forms. Today's workbook lesson is telling us of the nothingness of sin and the meaning of forgiveness. I think of sin as being anything -- anything at all -- which separates us from the Love which is God., and this separation can only occur in belief, as it never really happened. What we call forgiveness isn't some sort of divine pardon, but a yielding within ourselves to the purity of our thought, without the impediments of holding on to memories of wrongdoing, resentment, and pains of all sorts. This yielding includes the release of things which we think have been done to us, and things we think we have done to others, and things going on everywhere else. So let's choose again, rest in Love, and go and sin no more!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“As mortals gain more correct views of God and man, multitudinous objects of creation, which before were invisible, will become visible.”
