Lesson 198:

Only my condemnation injures me…

Always an inside job isn’t it.

At least now I easily know where to look, when the idea of injury arises. And, what’s more, I do turn within readily, steadily, to the stillness of the Self; that imperturbable constant, that when turned toward, makes the path of forgiveness not only viable, but present and obvious. From the seat of Self, one looses the concept of injury and unfairness of others, as it is silently dissolved into the single path forgiveness lays out.

Forgiveness is the path of present time, folding up behind itself. The prison of past error is no longer valid. Freedom arises in its stead, lit by the lamp forgiveness shines. Every turning of the mind back around to the source of light within, allows us to see the light before us.

Only our belief that something other than love could be; that illusion might replace the Source of all; and our catching our breath at the absurdity of such a thought rather than laughing at it’s absurdity, could temporarily catch us up in that ‘tiny tick of time’ we call our life. It’s the big cosmic belly laugh. Any thing, belief, etc, looked upon with vision, loops back around to the same zero point of eternal love…

We are beginning to see it now, and choose once again. We are on the bridge across the worlds: it is forgiveness. Just like the chosen words representing today’s lesson:

Only my condemnation injures me.

Only my forgiveness sets me free…

Each situation, circumstance and person is the hand we hold in which we cross over together, purifying our minds back to the truth of our innocence with each choice to see or brother as our Self, to take accountability rather than blame, to forgive and see this differently…

Now is the time for our deliverance. The time has come. The time is today…
