Lesson 336

W-pII.336.1. Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception's ending. ² Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. ³ For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. ⁴ Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. ⁵ Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. ⁶ For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.

W-pII.336.2. In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. ² Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart.
