And we convince ourselves that the other people in our life are "bad", too. They're bad drivers because they cut us off in traffic, bad husbands because they don't cherish and adore us the way we'd always hoped to be loved, bad children because they don't pick up their rooms, bad bosses because they are impatient and sharp-tongued...and on and on it goes.
Bad Baby
None of this is true. We are all exactly as God created us. He created us in his own exact image and God is only Good. In this earthly world of dreams, we've created pain, hurt and fear. But in the "real world" where the bigger part of us is always with God, there is only good. One self is true, the other is not.
"Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its Holiness and the love from which it was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It." --Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93
We are all exactly as God created us. When we see and know this for the people in our lives, we are forgiving, overlooking the silly things they do here in this dream world where they have forgotten their true identity. We accept their flaws knowing the real truth behind them. This is what true forgiveness is all about.
"Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Over and over this must be repeated, until it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it, or change what God created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God and light and joy and peace abide in you." --Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93
