I liked this a lot too Carl, in fact I loved it. And....... I re-read it too, as I think it is probably the most important part of undoing the illusions that we are creating in this crazy world.
Until we get this fundamental teaching/truth we will never be able to truly forgive.
I particularly liked the quote from the Course "Ask not to be forgiven, for this has already been accomplished. Ask, rather, to learn how to forgive, and to restore what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement becomes real and visible to those who use it (T-14.IV.3:4-6)." The baby steps are to forgive another for the grievance against you or the world, the Big step is to see the sinlessness/innocence in everyone and everything. It is then that you can begin to see that we could not have attacked God, it is then the freedom comes.
Thank you for the wise words Sean "Let us atone for the whole world not by overlooking sin but by seeing only sinlessness, which is our reality, given us in Creation to be given back in an eternally fruitful cycle of Love." Beautiful way to end your post.

I have re-read this a number of times, returning to it each day, because I like it a lot.
