Surrender all concepts of what you think you are to the Light of Spirit and accept the concept of forgiveness that is offered as a Correction to the error. The ego wants you to find scapegoats to bare the blame and idols to raise up and cling to, that you may retain the make-believe identity. The belief in a private mind with private thoughts is the throne the ego guards and protects, and it cares not if you take on the role of leader or follower. You need not be a follower of a person or a formal religion. Open to the Teacher within and listen to your Call to awaken from the dream of the world.
Meaning is within.
Meaninglessness is outside you and therefore you cannot be at the mercy of images. The world was made by belief, not by God. Don't be fooled into thinking you can forgive a world without raising to awareness the belief system that made it. The mind cannot release what it has denied from awareness. Stop speaking and be silent.
