Correction is the function only of the Holy Spirit;
according to the Course when I give my (MY)
errors to Him, they disappear in His light,
and they are gone. Then I see they disappeared
in my brother as well, since in His light errors
are gone. Then I see my brother as he IS.
We have to accept His light, which does not
go together with any error.

The author speaks of his inability
to tolerate LACK OF LOVE.
To correct lack of love is to provide it.
Too is said:

darkness automatically, by definition."

Are you sure your thinking here is
in line with the above quote? It said:
"To forgive is to
OVERLOOK. Look, then, BEYOND error, and do not let your
perception rest UPON it, for you will believe what your
perception HOLDS. Accept as true only what your brother IS,
if you would know yourself."
