The ego makes illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them
away. Truth never makes attack. It merely is. And by its Presence is the
mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the Real. Forgiveness bids this
Presence enter in, and take its rightful place within the mind. Without
forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet
with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness,
offering it hope, and giving it the means to realize the freedom that is
its inheritance.

“We would not bind the world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And
yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would
release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is given us. And we would
not remain as prisoners, while You hold out our freedom unto us.”
