ACIM Lesson 332 Contemplation

"Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free."
This lesson emphasizes that fear is a binding force in the world, rooted in guilt and the belief in sin, while forgiveness is the liberating power that frees us from these chains. It teaches that truth never attacks but rather shines away illusions, recalling the mind from fantasies and awakening it to reality. This process involves recognizing that our thoughts and perceptions are projections of our own minds, and by forgiving, we can transform these projections into reflections of love and peace.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 332 Fear binds the world,

Forgiveness sets the world,

The ego makes illusions,

Truth undoes the ego's evil dreams by shining them away.

Truth never makes attack,

It merely is.

Truth by its presence is the mind recalled from fantasies.

Truth by its presence is the mind awakening to the real.

Forgiveness bids the presence of truth to enter in and take its rightful place within the mind.

Without forgiveness,

The mind is in chains.

Without forgiveness,

The mind believes in its own futility.

Yet,

With forgiveness,

The light shines through the dream of darkness,

Offering the mind hope,

Giving the mind the means to realize the freedom that is to bind the world again today.

Fear holds the world prisoner,

And yet your love,

Father,

Has given us the means to set the world free.

Father,

We would release the world now,

For as we offer freedom,

Freedom is given to us.

Father,

We would not remain as prisoners while you are holding freedom out to us.
