Two Debtors, One Forgiveness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the story, the two debtors are two states of consciousness in your mind: one haunted by fear of payment, the other overwhelmed by its own lack. The creditor is your inner God, the I AM that forgives not after your time but upon your turning of attention. When you realize you have nothing to pay in your sense of self - your past error, your guilt, your shortages - there is a frank forgiveness extended to both so that neither state rules you. The question, which will love him most, reveals the law: the degree of love is the measure of your felt forgiveness. The one who feels most relieved, who feels most cleared of debt, will respond with greater devotion and generosity. Therefore, forgiveness is not a mercy granted to an external debtor; it is a revision of your inner sense of lack. As you assume the feeling, you enact the end in your imagination; your present moment shifts to align with the new consciousness, and love pours forth as natural expression.
