My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 333 for November 27, 2024. Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.

Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.

* Because IT ENDS your belief that it is REAL.

* Though a residue of ideology that was placed during the dream you need to SEE to be able to let go of.

* THIS means that it is a GOOD SIGN when things appear to go horribly wrong because it means you will be able to observe how you got there and the ‘silliness’ of it and be able to just observe and let it pass because you KNOW it is NOT REAL.

1. Conflict must be resolved.

* This is something that has not been understood in the time that the Course has been on the earth.

* Helen and Bill could just not bring themselves to present it this way to you, though it is in the Course if you look with the eyes of SPIRIT.

²It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped.

* Right, now ‘hear’ this next part because THIS is where we are as a SOCIETY.

³It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it.

⁴For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.

* We must be WILLING to ‘see the darkness’ before the light goes on. Before understanding that it just could not be real at all is accepted.

2. Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You.

²No light but this can end our evil dream.

³No light but this can save the world.

⁴For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.

* In other words, we will see the terror that belief in separation from God has caused us to IMAGINE and KNOW IT IS NOT TRUE.
