When someone is crying, we usually perceive it as the release of deep emotions of sadness or joy. But the truth is that everything we see on the screen of the world was projected for the purpose of keeping us from knowing who we are. Separation is the name of the ego’s game, and perception is its playing field, and it relies on the “I-know” mind, the assumption that we know what things mean, to keep us in the game. The Holy Spirit wants to use perception instead for the purpose of bringing us back to a state of “unified playing,” which is the happy dream. Forgiveness is letting the Holy Spirit show you the world anew, after you have released all meaning that was given to the world. This means forgiving both the seeming bad and the seeming good, because these are the dualistic projections of the ego. There is no subject-object split. Indeed, there is no world. It’s all consciousness.
“That’s what forgiveness is. It’s letting the Holy Spirit show you the world anew after, and only after, you have released all meaning that has been given to the world. And positive aspects are just as much a hindrance to true happiness, to true peace as are the negative aspects, because the ego filled the world with positive and negative, to fill the world with distractions to keep you from ‘be still and know that I am God.’ (Psalm 46:10) To keep you from this quantum field of perfect connectedness, from this pure, still open mind that is our natural inheritance.”
