Forgiveness is Always Justified
A condensation of T-30.VI-VIII

The real world is achieved when I perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite real and fully justified. Forgiveness merely asks me to respond to what has not occurred by not perceiving it. Sin cannot be real in a dream without effects. I am asked to see forgiveness as the natural reaction to distress that rests on error, and thus calls for help.
Anger is never justified. Forgiveness is always justified. I am the dreamer of the dream. I must forgive all appearances in order to escape from the guilt I am projecting. I must think of my Creator as I look upon God’s Son. And I must forgive my brother entirely for he cannot make an error that could change the perfect Christ in him.
This is the only way to think of him if I would know the truth about myself:
I thank You, Father, for Your perfect Son, and in his glory will I see my own.
If I can see my brother merits pardon, I have learned forgiveness is my right as much as his.
Appearances deceive, but can be changed. If I fail to see beyond appearances I am deceived. Reality is changeless. The miracle demonstrates that all appearances can change because they are appearances, and cannot have the changelessness reality entails.
Miracles but show what I have interposed between reality and my awareness is unreal, and does not interfere at all. There is no false appearance but will fade, if I request a miracle instead.
