Review of Lessons 67–68

The Point — These lessons make grievance an identity issue. If Love created you like Itself, then every grievance asks you to forget that creation and accept another definition of yourself instead. You cannot condemn a brother without simultaneously adopting the identity of someone capable of being separated from Love. The pair therefore shows exactly why forgiveness restores Self-recognition.

What The Pair Reveals — A grievance is not simply a thought about another person. It is a statement about who you think you are.

Where It Fits — The Workbook is connecting relationship directly to identity. How you define your brother becomes inseparable from how you experience yourself.

The Takeaway — Every grievance offers you a false identity; releasing the grievance is a way of refusing the substitute.
