It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. \u00b2It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. \u00b3Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. \u2074Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. \u2075Therefore, in your forgiveness lies your salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. Illusions about yourself and the world are one. \u00b2That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. \u00b3Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. \u2074Now you are learning how to remember the truth. \u2075For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while each time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. \u00b2Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? \u00b3It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. \u2074It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. \u2075It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">4. Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today\u2019s idea, and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. \u00b2It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. \u00b3And it will help those around you, as well as those who seem to be far away in space and time, to share this happiness with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible, say to yourself today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>2<\/sup>Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>3<\/sup>I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\u2074Then devote a minute or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it will bring you. \u2075Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness they are true. \u2076Should your attention wander, repeat the idea and add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>7<\/sup>\u2077I would remember this because I want to be happy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Welkom by Hemelbewus \u2013 (A Course in Miracles) in Afrikaans\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9p2rK2fVLCg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2728 Inspired by the core message of the Course:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"Nothing real can be threatened.
