THE THING ITSELF
The Universal
The
Universe exists in the Eternal
Now, each moment complete and perfect within itself. In this Universal Harmony, Justice without
judgment is always automatic, an
infallible Universal Principle. There
can be no place for Divine anger,
unforgiveness, or punishment.
The worldly suffering resulting
from misuse or ignorance of the Law automatically ceases when the misuse or
ignorance ceases. This is called "God's forgiveness," but is simply the
working out of impersonal Principle.
Holmes
says, "Neither the consciousness of Spirit nor the laws of the Universe hold anything against us;
wherever we turn to them in recognition and acceptance, they immediately flow through us, imparting the Divine Givingness". |

THE WAY IT WORKS
The Human
Human
forgiveness is the process
that frees us to live in the Eternal Now. It is essential that we wholly
forgive ourselves and all others before real spiritual growth can
flourish.
If
I am holding on to old resentments,
if there is any real or imagined injury
which I have not wholly forgiven,
there is an insurmountable block in
the path of my spiritual progress. To
free myself, I must totally and genuinely forgive both myself and those who, I believe, have injured me.
Unforgiveness,
holding resentment,
is a misuse of Spiritual Law, a rejection of the Oneness of all Life. Thus,
on the human level, forgiveness appears to be a cosmic requirement for
restoration of harmony and growth in
human living.
