ACIM Lesson 333 Contemplation

"Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here."
This lesson emphasizes that conflict is inherent in the world we perceive, as it is rooted in the ego's dream of separation. However, this dream can be ended through forgiveness, which shines away conflict and doubt, lighting the path for our return to God. The lesson teaches that conflict must be confronted directly, without evasion or disguise, and that forgiveness is the only means by which it can be resolved. This process involves acknowledging that all conflict originates within our own minds and that forgiveness is the key to healing these internal divisions.

Conflict cannot be disguised or seen somewhere else. Conflict cannot be called by another name or hidden by deceit of any kind if it would be escaped. Conflict must be seen exactly as it is. Conflict must be seen where it is thought to be in the reality in which has been given it. Conflict must be seen with the purpose that the mind accorded it. Only then are conflict's defenses lifted. Only then can the truth shine upon conflict as it disappears. Father, Forgiveness is the light you chose to shine away all conflict, To shine away all doubt. Father, Forgiveness is what you chose to light the way for my return to you. No light but forgiveness can end our evil dream. No light but forgiveness can save the world. Father, Forgiveness alone will never fail in anything being your gift to your beloved child. Conflict must be resolved, Cannot be evaded, Set aside, Or denied.
