Prayer of Forgiveness
My Mind is Sacred Space.
My body is Holy Ground.
I Am Invulnerable to attack of any kind.
I Am incapable of attack of any kind.
In forgetting That I AM I experience an attack on myself in many forms both from within and from without. All of these perceived attacks from within—be they false emotions, fears, suffering, discordant thoughts, anger, or pain—are all an attack on myself made manifest by my choosing to deny and forget That I AM.
All of the attack I perceive from without—from my brothers and sisters, from life, from the world I see outside of myself—is a projection of the attack apparently going on within me. Again it is the product of the ego which has come about through forgetting That I AM.
So long as I am perceiving attack in any form I have simply forgotten what is true—I have fallen asleep and in the spell of a dream within my mind. For it is only in a dream that I could ever experience an attack on Holy Ground or anything other that Love in this Sacred Space. This Space is sacred because it is imbibed with the Light of God which knows only Love.
In recognising that this is so I have no resistance to these perceptions. For a dream is simply a dream—the result of forgetting That I AM in my eternal awakened state. It only becomes a nightmare through my resistance to it.
I put up no resistance for this would be suggesting that these false dreams are real.
I acknowledge that the nature of the dream as I perceive it is a projection of my ego. The source of the Light that gives rise to the picture on the screen before me is my Holy Mind, an extension of God's Mind. The ego must by default use Light from somewhere in order to create the images as it does. As it is of itself an absence of light with no real power unto itself that light must from from this Holy Mind.
I acknowledge that the images apparently on the screen before my eyes are by their very nature images of the journey I have been on in the past and through what I perceive as time. Because they have utilised Light from my Holy Mind in their manifestation each contains the symbology of how I have forgotten my Divinity.
Therefore rather than resist and push away or even attack, I instead read into and offer love to these images. For the only reality within this apparent images is the Light from my Holy Mind that they are by their very nature imbibed with. In reading into their symbology and loving them I am reading into the nature of my Mind and Loving my Divine Nature.
As and when I perceive attack I immediately recognise the impossibility and illusion of such and immediately forgive. I forgive because it is folly to oppose that which does not exist.
In forgiveness I am not accepting that something unholy has happened and then righteously make it okay. Rather in forgiveness I am accepting the Truth that no-thing unholy has ever really happened and that there has been no attack.
To 'forgive and forget' is really to forth-give Love to my forgetfulness that it might one day—when all is forgiven and all guilt is released—dissolve as I wake up to Love through experiencing the Love I have in each moment forth-given or given forth. For as I AM the only One in my dream the Love I give forth is given unto my self.
In That I AM Healed.
