Greetings from Sydney, Australia. Thanks for sharing what is on

your heart Richard. The happy dream of forgiveness is literally all

that can be shared, and I offer the blessings of Love and non-

judgment. The Holy Spirit's Perspective offers only blessings of

peace and happiness and joy and love and freedom. There is nothing

else worthy of our whole and holy Mind. Be not afraid of Love.

Love always Answers in gentleness and kindness. There is nothing to

compare in forgiveness, and nothing can splinter when a mind accepts

the wholeness that is ever available. Right-mindedness sees only

perfection. All Glory to God for this gracious Perspective of the

forgiven world and the happy dream. Blessings of Enlightenment to

all, for all are included in the One!

Forgiveness is the means by which the false is seen as false, and

thus is error escaped forever. Experiencing the awareness of

forgiveness is the only helpful use of time, space, bodies, money,

computers, resources, and all the symbols of the world. The

indicator of forgiveness is the awareness that one's state of mind

at this moment rests with one's mind. This happy dream Perspective

is within and cannot be found in persons, places, or

things "outside" the mind.

Forgiveness is not something that can be found in a book or object.

Forgiveness is beyond words and symbols. An experience of the Living

Moment will dawn of Itself when the mind is ready and willing. The

Holy Spirit uses the symbols and sights and sounds of the world,

including people and music and words of inspiration (scriptures), to

help the deceived mind to the point of Realization or Recognition.

These are all stepping stones or metaphors, and they all dissolve at

the point of Recognition, which is an experience within.

True spirituality, regardless of the seeming path, rests on open

communication, the release of all attack thoughts (and the fear,

guilt, and anger that they produce), nonjudgment, true humility, and

defenselessness, gentleness, and divine mercy. Any authentic

spiritual path will promote forgiveness and advocate laying aside

grievances. All are included in the experience of Love, for Love is

unconditional and impersonal, and everyone is equally loved and

appreciated.

Error is the belief that one's state of mind is dependent on a

person, place, event, book, or circumstance and is not a decision of

your mind. In error faith is placed in "external authorities and

forms and rituals," and the underlying experience will always be

based on fear, no matter how endearing or adoring the devotion seems

to be. Ultimately you can never really love or adore or be devoted

to anything specifc or anything in form, for truth cannot be found

in images and symbols. When you attach to the form or scenario or

script you believe will make you happy, a substitute or idol image

has been made and accepted as real, and is being worshipped. The

awareness of forgiveness is denied in such an attempt. And the

pseudo "love" will turn to hate and anger in the mind of

the "leader" or "follower."

What can turn to hate was never the Love of God, but was instead the

desire to be special and "loved" in a personal sense. There appears

a "holier than thou" mentality in error, which attempts to raise

some people up and put other people down and perpetuates a "we/they"

division. Hence, there is always a fear of an external "enemy."

In true spirituality everyone is always welcome, for it becomes

apparent that one is always meeting oneself. No one is turned away

or "judged against." Acceptance of forgiveness is an experience in

which no one is "labeled and dismissed," for the experience of

forgiveness is vast and expansive and All-inclusive! The experience

is freely Given by Holy Spirit, and the Peace and Joy and Love of

God is beyond the possibility of commercialization. There is no

reciprocity (giving to get) and authentic spirituality cannot be

bought or sold. Forgiveness is freely Given, and by Giving It, It is

retained in awareness. What you share is strengthened in your

awareness, so by extending forgiveness one becomes aware that the

mind has forgiven or released the illusion of separation. This

is 'how' the mind is awakened by the Holy Spirit from the dream of

scarcity, guilt, fear, and death. First you learn to forgive (or

release illusions), and in unlearning the world you are awakened

unto Eternal Life!

The opposite of a Perspective of forgiveness and trust in God is

a "condition" of fear, guilt, scarcity, and anger. This "condition"

is the simplest way to define error. Because of intense fear and

suspicion, error involves threats, privacy, secrecy, hierarchies

and "chains of command," attempts at control and manipulation

through breaking off communication or using communication to "make

guilty." It may seem to manifest as scarcity (hoarding of food,

money, possessions, and supplies out of a fear that they may run

out). It may also manifest under the guise of abundance (power,

wealth, fame, psychic powers, energy experiences and phenomenon that

are valued in and of themselves). These pursuits, under the guise of

spirituality and religion, are distractions and detours to true

peace and happiness.

Error rests on judgment, for it raises some people up as

special "good ones" and lowers others down as the "bad ones."

The "good ones" are praised and loyally adored, while the "bad ones"

are attacked, avoided, blamed, abandoned, excluded, or rejected.

Error involves forming cliques around beliefs and values. All

beliefs are the domain of the ego, and forgiveness is the only

helpful belief. Error involves anything specific in the world, as

long as boundaries and differences are maintained at all costs, so

uniqueness and a special "identity" can be kept. Error is quick to

confront or to flee, and is particularly threatened by open, direct

communication.

Future loss is not the greatest fear of the mind which believes the

error, for present joining and union is what the deceived mind

dreads most. Complete joining the ego sees as the abolishing of

privacy and separation, and this it cannot tolerate. To protect

itself, the ego will attempt isolation and rely heavily on "fight or

flight" strategies. Decisions are made hastily and always based in

fear. Reason and patience and cooperation and clear-thinking are de-

emphasised, and shared opinions, gossip, and grievances are rallying

points against the perceived "external enemy," hence the "group-

think" mentality. All error is based on fear, though it is not seen

that the fear is not really based in the images of the world

(persons, places, things, events, etc.). The underlying fear is the

fear of God and the Holy Spirit, which strikes terror in the ego.

Darkness is afraid of the approach of Light. The opposite of Love

seems to be fear, but Love is all-encompassing and has no opposite!

Error is therefore no threat to a mind that is devoted to

forgiveness. A clear mind, free of judgment, is very capable of

forgiving, or seeing the false as false. The still One rests in God.

And who can fear when there is Love?

I am so grateful to teach and learn that Innocence is real and guilt

and condemnation are false witnesses. I am so grateful to learn that

nobody is ever to blame and that it is impossible to be unfairly

treated. A misperception is always corrected by the miracle. "Judge

not, lest ye be judged" is an instruction not to attempt something

you are incapable of. A mind that values stillness and quiet and

peace is a mind that does not attempt judgment. Forgiveness and

nonjudgment are synonomous.

Forgiveness of illusions brings peace, happiness, freedom, and the

remembrance of Divine Love! How magnificent is the Perspective that

simply sees the false as false! How glorious is the Mind that

recognizes Itself as One! The Mind that is shared with God is Pure

Oneness and knows not of judgment. For in Oneness there is nothing

to judge between! This Mind is forever Innocent, for Life and Being

are in the Mind of God. Holy Child of God, You are Innocent forever!

Hallowed be Thy Name and the Name of Our Creator God! Thy Kingdom

has come! Thy Will is done!

I am traveling throughout Australia through Easter. You are invited

to come join in at the Easter retreat in the Blue Mountains outside

of Sydney. I will be in the Southeastern USA in April and in Philly

and Boston and Sweden in June. I will be in Sweden, Germany,

Switzerland, & Belgium in July. I hope to meet you along the way and rejoice together in the happy dream of forgiveness.

Thanks Richard for expressing the deepest desire of your heart,

which is Answered the moment It is accepted.

In Joy everlasting,

David
