I've realized the danger to my own mind if I believe an appeal for help is something else, because I will then react to something else. My response will then be inappropriate to his call for help, due to my wrong perception of it, because my perception would be from the ego.
When I am tempted to react with anger due to perceived injustices or attacks, I must instead respond with charity. Charity is a way of looking at another as if he had already gone far beyond his actual accomplishments in time. Healing rests on charity, and is a way of perceiving the perfection of another even if you cannot perceive it in yourself.
TRUE forgiveness is the key., and if we believe sin is our brother's reality, we will never be capable of true forgiveness,. It IS impossible to forgive reality. The ego's plan of forgiveness is to have me see error clearly first, and then overlook it. Yet how can I overlook what I've accepted as real? By seeing it clearly, I have made it real and CANNOT overlook it.
Forgiveness though the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, and thus keeping it unreal for me.
