My Mind Holds Only What I Think With God
"That is a fact and represents the truth of What you are and What your Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as a co-creator with Himself. It is this thought that fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever true." --A Course in Miracles Workbook Review IV p. 273
Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from our awareness.
This is one of the reasons why forgiveness is the key to happiness. Our minds can never be fully restored to their true state, where we think and create with God, if we are holding grievances and judging others.
Simply put, we can never be happy when we are in a state of unforgiveness, because it blocks our connection to God. And when our connection to God is blocked, we are not ourselves. We are separated from our truth. We are not the love we were created to be. And we are unable to give and receive love fully in this state.
When we hold grievances and judge others, we are refusing to recognize the truth that not only were we created by the father as a co-creator, but that everyone else was, too!!
It is in the recognizing of this very fact, that we are all equal and the same...that we are all one...that we are all, simply, love...that we come to receive our own happiness.
Yes, other people forget their truth and do stupid, ignorant and selfish things here. But it is our responsibility as a true Son of God, to take the higher ground, to know their truth for them by holding a place of love in our minds for them. And in so doing, we offer them (on a mental plane) a place to grow into their own knowing of their own truth, that they too, are simply, love. We offer them the chance to heal when we forgive them through our recognition of who they really are, co-creators of God.
Because after all, this is all about the mind. It's about what we do in our thinking. All minds are connected. So when we forgive and offer love instead of fear, we are healing our own minds and we are offering healing to our trespassers as well. And that is their chance to heal along with us.
