Error is not Sin
Perception is a choice
Posted by aplecompte on October 6th, 2009
Error made the world. I wanted, for an instant, to separate from God. In this fearful, guilty instant my mind fell asleep and dreamed a world in which I took a tiny role.
Deep unconscious guilt runs my life. I want to believe in this world of separation that proves sin and guilt are real, and therefore attack is justified.
My perception originates in my mind according to perception’s fundamental law: “You see what you believe is there, and you believe it is there because you want it there.” T-25.III I have given the world the purpose of sin, guilt and attack.
But perception rests on choosing. What do I want? What is really justified? The world I see is made on error, not on sin. And mistakes can be forgiven.
God put the Holy Spirit in my mind so I could choose to see a different world. “The Son of God could never sin.” I can only misperceive my brother doing so.
Is my brother's action a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he need help or condemnation? Is it my purpose that he be saved or damned? Do I want to see the truth in my brother’s call for help?
Holy Spirit, let me see his innocence, for that is what I want to see.
I choose the purpose of forgiveness that I might experience miracles of perception.
Those who offer peace to everyone have found a home in heaven the world cannot destroy. T-25.IV
