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.

Tal vez parezca que el mundo te causa dolor. 2 Sin embargo, al no tener causa, no tiene el poder de ser la causa de nada. 3 Al ser un efecto, no puede producir efectos. 4 Al ser una ilusión, es lo que tú deseas que sea. 5 Tus vanos deseos constituyen sus pesares. 6 Tus extraños anhelos dan lugar a sus sueños de maldad. 7 Tus pensamientos de muerte lo envuelven con miedo, mientras que en tu benévolo perdón halla vida.
