Keys to this Lesson
Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
They correct what is different from the Will of God.
Salvation is the borderland between truth and illusion.
It reflects the truth because it (salvation and forgiveness) is the means by which you can escape illusions.
Our mind sees illusions, based upon our thoughts, and we think them to be very real, a kind of virtual reality, ala the movie, The Matrix.
The Holy Spirit holds the plan for salvation.
It is there in our mind and operates in time because we still believe strongly in the aspect of time.
Holy Spirit looks upon what we see, on sin, pain, death, grief, separation and loss.
What He sees only is that God is Love and this is not His Will.
The Thought brings illusions to the truth and sees behind the appearances.
This Thought of God saves, forgives for it knows the Truth.
Holy Spirit answers all appearances and illusions regardless of what they are, look like, seem to be, etc:
Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
Exercise
5 minutes once an hour.
Yet, Jesus tells us to practice the Holy Spirit’s Thought today and let His light seek out and lighten up all the darkened spots within our mind.
He says as follows:
It is God’s Will your mind be one with His. It is God’s Will that He has but one Son. It is God’s Will that His one Son is you. Think of these things in practicing today, and start the lesson that we learn today with this instruction in the way of truth:
Salvation is my only function here.
Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
Turn to the Holy Spirit and let Him teach you how to lay fear aside.
If you are tempted to believe any forms of fear in whatever appearance they may take, say:
Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
Between the hour remind yourself:
Salvation is my only function here.
You are laying forgiveness on your mind and letting fear be put aside and allowing love to show you who you are each time you practice this today.

But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students.
