This post continues the discussion of forgiveness to eliminate which is the ego’s form of judgmental correction as forgiveness. From the ego version, all is here using “nice” and “necessary” forgiveness like a kindness by seeing every error in yourself along with a brother. You will get these errors corrected (judged) as they are sins through the perceived (judged) separation from God. It is exactly what can make it “necessary” and “nice” forgiveness. It’s supposed to become part of your salvation from sin which is considered “kind” with the ego.
Necessary, nice, need, lack and pretend kindness include the errors seen and found in fulfillment of forgiveness to destroy. They choose everything but Love. Much like the first aspect the place that the ego right mind says, “I’m much better than you,” most of forgiveness to destroy is completely based in seeing and judging any error. Keep in mind that judgment is usually to make up your mind and are avalable to a conclusion; and thus with all the ego judgment to forgive produces judgmental results which destroy. It can be considered destruction because the projected judgments “destroy” (hide) understanding of whom you as well as your brother really are (Love).
All judgments, including that regarding the ego right mind, must be relinquished for true correction from the mind (forgiveness). ACIM does not compromise that Love may be the Truth understanding that no error has occurred. If no error has occurred, then no-one has done anything so nothing is to judge. We have all simply heard the ego and will stop this without notice.
I’m Exactly like You
In ACIM, this aspect is still very heavy in separation although it states be the comparable to another. Ego does not necessarily mean Sameness (Love). Exactly what the ego actually means is sameness by mistake.
Criteria: The ego’s thinking is basically that you are having exactly the same experience as the second even though slightly different with time and space. Seeing exactly the same errors from experience, and also for the sake for being “kind” you may forgive wrong-doer(s) because that’s just how things are in this world and “necessary” to forgive to move on.
The further concern is that since the ego is involved, if you try to move on, another will abandon or attack you because the ego is threatened. Also, should you sit in misery to much time feeling sorry yourself, you risk being attacked from the ego who judges that as further error. Please understand, your sameness friend are seeing “same” errors from experiences. The wrongdoer and sameness friend are judging “same” errors in your soul both. The seeing of same error is all which is being seen (judged).
Do not forget that the ego attacks to defend and protect its position that this chosen facts are true. Seeing any error requires correction of this error, as outlined by ego, which can be forgiveness to get rid of. It knows no other way.
You have forgiveness lessons (correction with the mind) related to people, places and things as each one is parts of the fragmented mind. However, no one has committed a mistake because behind the fragments, many of us are One (Love). The bottom line is to rehearse correction with the mind (forgiveness) and relinquish the judgment of the error no matter what the problem. If you see something just as one error, you stay stuck in forgiveness to destroy.
The Martyr
In ACIM, this aspect is just not quite as heavy in separation; however, this way of seeing error still judges error (decides and assigns error the meaning of being real). Judgment from a error is separation as well as a decision to deny your identiity: Love. This aspect is incredibly covert and will be easily perceived as being a saint unless you acknowledge exactly what the ego thoughts are really doing.
Criteria: The ego loves victims and victimizers since it hides judgments. If you attack a martyr (victimizer to victim), the response is a “kind” smile because they deny this they’re feeling. They might say nothing; nevertheless they may also respond being a victim.
They’ve completely bought in to the proven fact that they have to forgive all sins (necessary forgiveness). To put it differently, they have to be “nice” in your attack for their kind corrective forgiveness so they are certainly not committing the same sin. “Nice” can often mean playing victim or “better than you.” It implies fake kindness since it doesn’t choose Love.
Some martyrs even think they deserve your attack as punishment for own sins. For some individuals, the fear of punishment is indeed great they won’t do anything whatsoever over smile and hope you’ll vanish entirely.
The further problem since ego is involved shows itself from the covert, devious and kill or why not be killed thought system of the ego. Behind the calm exterior, the martyr’s mind is a tirade of angry judgments in your sins. Up front they’re one of the ways; but in their thoughts, they would like to kill you. Ego is forgiving to sneak, i.e., it is attacking to defend its truth of sin in need of correction prior to the punishment of death. This destroys (hides) true perception.
All attack is really a demand love inside the Course. The only way to not perceive attack would be to avoid seeing error in yourself or even a brother. Truth (Love) cannot conceive of attacking itself. Which is insanity.
Bargaining and Compromise
Finally, we get right down to the final and prevalent aspect of bargaining and compromise that is a portion of all special relationships, legal systems, contracts, jobs, etc. Ego right mind doesn’t let you know the hidden price that accompanies these aspects.
The ego likes a great bargain (a partnership between two parties in what they will do for each and every other). It also likes to compromise (settle disputes on agreements by causing concessions). It’s really a match stated in ego heaven.
Criteria: Ego makes bargains to obtain needs met having judged what exactly is lacking. When someone fails (inside the judgment of the other) to satisfy that bargain, an agreement is required for resolution. What ego has you saying is that you simply is going to be “nice” and forgive the bargain-breaker should your “needs” get met. This is forgiveness as being a kindness. While you’re receiving communicate is not such obvious separation, you might be steeped in seeing errors which is separation.
The further problem since ego is involved is both the bargain and compromise still see lack and wish needs being met. Someone gets to be a slave wanting to meet them if they just don’t, ego will attack to guard its position that runners need(s) would be the truth. From the reverse, the slave person will grow resentful in any way they must do for the compromise. The volume of judgment and seeing of errors required for bargaining and compromise is astronomical. You’ll both mindlessly attack the other person.
Conclusion
In summary our discussion of forgiveness to sneak, it may be summarized by simply comparing the areas of correction with the mind (forgiveness) with forgiveness to eliminate. They mean two various things.
Ego’s forgiveness to destroy:
Sees (judges) every error in yourself or a brother;
Judges error, i.e, helps to make the decision that error is real and assigns meaning;
Error is sin plus a need or lack to get fulfilled;
It is vital to correct (judge) all errors;
Correction is sweet since it’s salvation;
This is kind forgiveness since it has to be done.
This is why this indicates to darn gracious. I want to remind you, again, that judgment differs from an alternative or decision because it includes creating any conclusion. It decides a meaning besides Love. Ego has many truths, judges the numerous truths, and corrects them (as errors) out of kindness which can be basic insanity.
Correction in the mind (forgiveness):
Within a Course in Miracles, therefore to recognize you have chosen to pay attention to the ego. Will no longer needing to do so, simply recognize the opinion as ego judgment and decide (choose) to relinquish it since it will no longer have value for your requirements. You might be stopping the judgment of any error given it has no meaning. This sees no error in you, or possibly a brother, and proves innocence (guiltless) knowning that normally the one Simple truth is Love.
