Fear not the images related to this word your memories have brought. Recall what author said in introduction: removing blocks to love is Course's one concern. You're not in need of adding content to your mind. A sculptor's masterpiece is ready, when everything unnecessary is removed. Let all illusions be dispelled off you and there is nothing left but love.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. T-16.4.6

You are only love, but when you deny this, you make what you are something you must learn to remember. T-6.3.2

Take time to learn what's in the quotes related, without this solid foundation forgiveness can't be understood.

The correction of fear is your responsibility. When you ask for release from fear, you are implying that it is not. You should ask, instead, for help in the conditions that have brought the fear about. T-2.6.4

How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me.
