It is surely good advice to tell you not to judge what you do not understand. No one with a personal investment is a reliable witness, for truth to him has become what he wants it to be. If you are unwilling to perceive an appeal for help as what it is, it is because you are unwilling to give help and to receive it. The analysis of the ego’s “real” motivation is the modern equivalent of the inquisition, for in both a brother’s errors are “uncovered” and he is then attacked for his own good. What can this be but projection? For his errors lay in the minds of his interpreters, for which they punished him.

Padre, no sabemos cómo llegar a Ti. 2 Pero te hemos llamado y Tú nos has contestado. 3 No interferiremos. 4 Los caminos de la salvación no son nuestros, pues te pertenecen a Ti. 5 Y es a Ti a donde vamos para encontrarlos. 6 Nuestras manos están abiertas para recibir Tus dones. 7 No tenemos ningún pensamiento que no pensemos contigo, ni abrigamos creencia alguna con respecto a lo que somos o a Quién nos creó. 8 Tuyo es el camino que queremos hallar y seguir. 9 Y sólo pedimos que Tu Voluntad, que también es la nuestra, se haga en nosotros y en el mundo, para que éste pase a formar parte del Cielo. 10 Amén.
Son únicamente tus pensamientos los que te causan dolor. 2 Nada externo a tu mente puede herirte o hacerte daño en modo alguno. 3 No hay causa más allá de ti mismo que pueda abatirse sobre ti y oprimirte. 4 Nadie, excepto tú mismo, puede afectarte. 5 No hay nada en el mundo capaz de hacerte enfermar, de entristecerte o de debilitarte. 6 Eres tú el que tiene el poder de dominar todas las cosas que ves reconociendo simplemente lo que eres.

In the Course, we do not first assume that another person really deserves our anger but then go ahead and “forgive” her anyway. Rather, we realize that our anger is based on a mistaken perception of her, and so we let that perception go. We forgive, in other words, by realizing “that there is nothing to forgive.”11 This kind of forgiveness is so egoless that, in our ego-bound state, we need the help of the Holy Spirit, God’s Voice in the dream, to complete it.
