not (always) a behavior. You can forgive a murderer and still keep
him locked up or an abusive spouse and not choose to live with them.
Hi Carrie. I think you give a good example here of how to be
appropriate when practicing the Course. Forgiveness is done at the
level of the mind. And as you'll be reading in the book, my teachers
say that on the level of the world we will probably do most of the
same things we would have done anyway. It's just that now we're not
doing them alone. We're doing them with the Holy Spirit and His
forgiveness.
BTW, I e-mailed Hugh Prather and asked him for some advice on
public speaking, like how to not be nervous, how to not get sucked in
by the glamour of it and stuff. He responded today and he was very
nice and helpful. Seems like a great guy. Love and peace, Gary.
