TGOG: Lesson #249; Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.

Forgiveness is the "master erase." There are stages to real forgiveness. I admit "I was wrong because perfect happiness was interrupted. I ask for the inner correction needed. I allow the Holy Spirit the space to undo all the consequences I do not want. I want to be corrected."  This is the essence of forgiveness as the Course teaches us. These are the steps that give us a Love of inner correction that forgiveness is.
