You who were created by love like itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. \u00b2To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. \u00b3To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body. \u2074To hold a grievance is to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to death. \u2075Perhaps you do not yet fully realize just what holding grievances does to your mind. \u2076It seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. \u2077It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">2. Shut off from your Self, which remains aware of Its likeness to Its Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. \u00b2Can all this arise from holding grievances? \u00b3Oh, yes! \u2074For he who holds grievances denies he was created by love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate. \u2075Who can dream of hatred and not fear God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">3. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own image, as it is certain that God created them like Himself, and defined them as part of Him. \u00b2It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt, as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. \u00b3It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are, as it is certain that those who forgive will remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">4. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances if you believed all this were so? \u00b2Perhaps you do not think you can let your grievances go. \u00b3That, however, is simply a matter of motivation. \u2074Today we will try to find out how you would feel without them. \u2075If you succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">5. Begin today\u2019s extended practice period by searching your mind for those against whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. \u00b2Some of these will be quite easy to find. \u00b3Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and even think you love. \u2074It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort. \u2075This has left you alone in all the universe in your perception of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">6. Determine now to see all these people as friends. \u00b2Say to them all, thinking of each one in turn as you do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sup>3<\/sup>I would see you as my friend, that I may remember you are part of me and<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;come to know myself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>4<\/sup>Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a world that protects you and loves you, and that you love in return. <sup>5<\/sup>Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you and holding you up. <sup>6<\/sup>Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. <sup>7<\/sup>At the end of the practice period tell yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sup>8<\/sup>Love holds no grievances. <sup>9<\/sup>When I let all my grievances go I will know<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I am perfectly safe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. The short practice periods should include a quick application of today\u2019s idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically present or not:<\/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>Love holds no grievances. <sup>3<\/sup>Let me not betray my Self.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>4<\/sup>In addition, repeat the idea several times an hour in this form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><sup>5<\/sup>Love holds no grievances. <sup>6<\/sup>I would wake to my Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him.<\/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.
