Peace and happiness are the inevitable result of quieting the voice within that opposes them.
That voice is known as the ego, and it is simply the belief that we are separate from God, our Source. So healing can be defined
as learning to quiet the voice of the ego.
The miracle forgives; the ego damns. Neither need be defined except by this.

What does the practice of forgiveness look like? Lynne Matous’
article, Mending the Fall, shares an elegant example of this quiet practice. In the earlier stages our practice may
be messier, less efficient and more angst-ridden. So be it. All that matters is that we decide to practice forgiveness and
then give it our best shot. And when we make mistakes, we don't judge ourselves: we simply choose love once again.
On the brink of falling yet again into the well-worn rut of special love's imagined needs and hurts, I stopped.
Remembering the words of wise teachers—the guidance of the Holy Spirit—I watched my mind's replaying of imagined slights, hurts, and possible "betrayals." Merely watching (not judging) as I walked in quiet meditation,
I wanted a different way of seeing. Still watching my mind at work—tempting me to embrace inner turmoil—I asked
the Holy Spirit for guidance.
Still walking and watching my mind
from a space of inner peace, I now became aware of another way of seeing—another way of being in the world. Freeing
thoughts began to appear. . .
Mending the Fall by Lynne R. Matous
You are here to bless the world
through forgiveness.
As you walk through this world, when you cry
out wondering what your purpose is, bring your attention back to the simple fact that you are here to bless the world through
forgiveness. Look, therefore, gently upon all that you see. Learn to return the mind, the emotions, and as long as it
lasts, even the body, to peace. So the graciousness of Christ can flow forth through you unimpeded, unlimited, shining with
joy. And let that light fall upon whomever you see and whatever you see.
The Blessing, Heaven On Earth
