This source examines the concept of true forgiveness, arguing that it is fundamentally misunderstood when viewed through the lens of sacrifice. The author contends that typical human thought equates forgiveness with self-denial for the benefit of another, which creates a sense of separation. In contrast, true forgiveness stems from a recognition of oneness , based in love rather than the illusion of sacrifice. To grasp this, one must adopt the perspective of the Holy Spirit, which perceives the spiritual unity underlying physical appearances, allowing forgiveness to move beyond the ego's focus on perceived outcomes and address the true spiritual cause.
