The purpose of a world ”outside” our mind where we can pretend to judge others for what we perceive to be our “sins,” is to have a “place” where we imagine we can hide from God. The purpose of forgiveness is to discover there is no sin. The purpose of the God Self is to show us how to use forgiveness to change the purpose of the world and find God in all the places we had thought there was something else to find. For just an instant let go all your judgments and in that quiet moment know that God has found you.
