Forgive (let go of the meaning of) everything. Forgive every meaning we make of what we see. Only then we will forgive everything And everyone, including ourselves.
Only then we will be happy, at peace, and free.
May all beings be happy, free and loved. 🙏🏻💕♾️🥰
“II. The Forgiven World
1. Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will look to you?
²In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely.
³Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness.
⁴And nothing will you value like unto this, nor hold so dear.
⁵Nothing that you remember that made your heart sing with joy has ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you.
2. This loveliness is not a fantasy. ²It is the real world, bright and clean and new, with everything sparkling under the open sun. ³
The bridge between that world and this is so little and so easy to cross, that you could not believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different.
⁵Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this world at all.
⁶This little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through time into eternity, beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you, and will never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection.
3. This step, the smallest ever taken, is still the greatest accomplishment of all.
⁴The real world, in its loveliness, you learn to reach.
⁵Fantasies are all undone, and no one and nothing remain still bound by them, and by your own forgiveness you are free to see.
⁶Yet what you see is only what you made, with the blessing of your forgiveness on it.
4. The stars will disappear in light, and the sun that opened up the world to beauty will vanish.
³Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations that made perception possible will still occur.
⁴The perception of the real world will be so short that you will barely have time to thank Love for it.
The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness.
6. All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes.
²For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past.
³The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of love’s perfection.”
