PRACTICE FORGIVENESS BY REMEMBERING YOU’RE DREAMING

You authored the dream and made the figures in it act out for you, so you could see your unconscious guilt outside yourself. If you remember your dreaming, then there’s nothing out there but your own projection. Once you believe that – and belief only comes from practice and experience – then there’s no need for what you’re seeing and now forgiving to have any impact on you…
As we say, this will all become part of your attitude, but it’s helpful at first to think of it as being made up of different components. Once you’re the cause and not the effect, another component of forgiveness would be to forgive both your projected images and yourself for dreaming them.
…You already know the Course tells you to forgive your brother for what he hasn’t done. That would be true forgiveness because, as the Course also says, you’re not making the error real. You’re not giving truth to your illusions; you’re bringing your illusions to the truth. Now it’s time to forgive yourself for dreaming this whole mess in the first place. If nothing’s happened – and if the Course teaches anything, it’s that nothing’s happened – then you’re innocent. Thus as you forgive your brothers and sisters, your mind realises simultaneously that you are forgiven. Remember, we’ve also quoted the Course as saying that as you see him, you will see yourself
