Lesson 288 – Let me forget my brother’s past today.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Jesus asks us to forgive him in this lesson.  He means, admit that you have projected your guilt onto me even as you claim to love me.  He means, see me as I am, not as the bible has depicted me.  He means, know me as the Light, not as the man.  He means, see every person in your life as Living Loving Light, as the spiritual essence they really are, as God’s Sun … and you will see yourself as Living Loving Light, as Spirit, as God’s Sun.  Forget the past and fully arrive in the present the holy instant offers.  Know thyself, know thy brother, know thy Self.

LESSON 288

Let me forget my brother’s past today.

This is the thought that leads the way to You, and brings me to my goal.  I cannot come to You without my brother.  And to know my  Source, I first must recognize what You created one with me.  My brother’s is the hand that leads me on the way to You.  His sins are in the past along with mine, and I am saved because the past is gone.  Let me not cherish it within my heart, or I will lose the way to walk to You.  My brother is my savior.  Let me not attack the savior You have given me.  But let me honor him who bears Your Name, and so remember that It is my own.

Forgive me, then, today.  And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness.  He cannot be less holy than can I, and you can not be holier than he.
