The Dreamer of the Dream
“6. The part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your own escape. ²Forget not that the witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a need for evil in the world. ³And this is where your guilt was first beheld. ⁴In separation from your brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. ⁵And it is this the world bears witness to. ⁶Seek not another cause, nor look among the mighty legions of its witnesses for its undoing. ⁷They support its claim on your allegiance. ⁸What conceals the truth is not where you should look to find the truth.
7. The witnesses to sin all stand within one little space. ²And it is here you find the cause of your perspective on the world. ³Once you were unaware of what the cause of everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must really be. ⁴Of one thing you were sure: Of all the many causes you perceived as bringing pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. ⁵Nor did you in any way request them for yourself. ⁶This is how all illusions came about. ⁷The one who makes them does not see himself as making them, and their reality does not depend on him. ⁸Whatever cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees is separate from his mind. ⁹He cannot doubt his dreams’ reality, because he does not see the part he plays in making them and making them seem real.”

What Is Forgiveness?
“1. Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. ²It does not pardon sins and make them real. ³It sees there was no sin. ⁴And in that view are all your sins forgiven. ⁵What is sin, except a false idea about God’s Son? ⁶Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. ⁷What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.
2. An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. ²The mind is closed, and will not be released. ³The thought protects projection, tightening its chains, so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure; less easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. ⁴What can come between a fixed projection and the aim that it has chosen as its wanted goal?”
