7. El aprendizaje que verdaderamente corrige comienza siempre con el despertar del espíritu y con el rechazo de la fe en la visión física. - Helen Schucman

reconocemos que la paz de Dios refulge todavía en nosotros, y que se extiende desde nosotros hasta todas las cosas vivientes que comparten nuestra vida. 2 Las perdonamos a todas, y absolvemos al mundo entero de lo que pensábamos que nos había hecho. 3 Pues somos nosotros quienes construimos el mundo como queremos que sea.

if you wish to be the author of reality, which is totally impossible anyway, you will insist on holding onto judgment. You will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that judgment will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is used against you, it is due only to your belief in its efficacy as a weapon of defense for your own authority. The issue of authority is really a question of authorship. When an individual has an “authority problem,” it is always because he believes he is the author of himself, projects his delusion onto others, and then perceives the situation as one in which people are literally fighting him for his authorship.

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.
