How willing are you to forgive your brother?
How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and misery and pain?
These questions are the same, in different form.
Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin and death; of madness and of murder, grief and loss.
This is the âsacrificeâ salvation asks, and gladly offers peace instead of this.

This world is full of miracles.
They stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt.
They are the dreamâs alternative, the choice to be the dreamer, rather than deny the active role in making up the dream.

The miracle is always there.
Its presence is not caused by your vision;
its absence is not the result of your failure to see.
It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected.
You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.

Miracles honor you because you are lovable.
They dispel illusions about yourself and perceive the light in you.
They thus atone for your errors by freeing you from your nightmares.
By releasing your mind from the imprisonment of your illusions, they restore your sanity.

You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. 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.
Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.

Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone.
You are as God created you.
The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea.
Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.

Look upon your brother as yourself.
Your relationship is now a temple of healing; A place where all the weary ones can come to rest.

Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;âyou are as God created you, not what you made of yourself.
Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you.
Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged.
Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created.
Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.

How lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of Godâs Son!
How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness!
And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy place!
Nor can it be forgot, in such a world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of time.

You cannot enter into real relationships with any of Godâs Sons unless you love them all and equally.
Love is not special.
If you single out part of the Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all your relationships and making them unreal.
You can love only as God loves.
Seek not to love unlike him, for there is no love apart from His.
Until you recognize that this
