為何「寬恕」會是一種可幫助人類察覺、感知(perceive)的擴展器(expander)？「寬恕」和「感知」有什麼關聯性嗎？
當我們真正了解這一點，不但可以讓我們較能夠寬恕自己，也寬恕別人，更能讓我們擴展自己的意識覺察和感知。聰明的人應該不會忽視這段最高智慧的觀察提醒：
【為何神說「寬恕」是感知的擴展器？】
是恐懼將「觀察」變成了「評判」，而將評判變成了「憤怒」。(It is fear that turns observation into judgment, and judgment into anger.)
這正是我告訴過你們的：憤怒是被宣佈出的恐懼 (Anger is fear, announced.) 。
他人的憤怒是他們對於「他們是誰以及你是誰」的幻覺的一部分。因此，在你之內的大師會原諒他們，會了解他們並不知道自己在做什麼。 ( 譯註：《聖經》也有類似此句之說。 )
這是邁入「體驗和表達你內在神性」的關鍵：寬恕 (forgiveness) 。
除非並且直到你寬恕了「你相信那並非神聖的」，否則你看不到在你之內的那神性 (You will not see that which is Divine in you unless and until you forgive that which you believe is not.)。除非你做了同樣的事，否則你也無法看到在別人之內的神性。
寬恕是感知的擴展器。 (Forgiveness is the expander of perception.)
當你為了「自己和別人所不是」的，寬恕你自己時，你才能體驗到「你自己和別人真正所是」。而在那瞬間，你將了解，寬恕本身是沒有必要的。因為有誰需要寬恕誰呢？又為了什麼需要寬恕？
「我們全是一體的」。 (We Are All One.)
在那一體裡，有極大的平安和極大的安慰。我給你我的平安。平安與你同在。
在靈魂的語言裡，寬恕只是平安的另一個字。 (Forgiveness is just another word for peace in the language of the soul.)
這些是當你從「你想像的實相之夢中」醒過來時，你深深明白的事。
摘自《與神合一》第19章
It is fear that turns observation into judgment, and judgment into anger.
It is as I have told you. Anger is fear, announced.
The anger of others will be part of their Illusion about who they are, and who you are. And so the Master in you will forgive them, understanding that they know not what they do.
This is the key to expressing and experiencing the Divinity within you: forgiveness.
You will not see that which is Divine in you unless and until you forgive that which you believe is not. And you will be unable to behold the Divinity in another unless and until you do the same.
Forgiveness is the expander of perception.
When you forgive yourself for that which you and others are not, then you will experience that which you and others truly are. In that moment you will understand that forgiveness itself is not necessary. For who would forgive whom? And for what?
We Are All One.
There is great peace in that, and great comfort. My peace I give to you. Peace be with you.
Forgiveness is just another word for peace in the language of the soul.
This is something that you deeply understand when you awaken from the dream of your imagined reality.
