Atonement is restoration of your attention to true sight. Without whole attention, whole site cannot "appear" in mind (which does not mean it is not there or cannot be seen), for it takes the whole mind fully attentive to see its appearing. This can be a little confusing because you do see it, but then do not believe that you see it, seemingly nullifying your vision.
Let's call the dream partial and mixed signals viewed with partial attention, compartmentalized such that attention is focused on separate parts, and the mental act of focusing adds attention to some parts while removing attention from other parts. This seeming process is not possible in reality. In reality, the so-called parts are undivided, and the attention that attends to them day and night so to speak is also undivided, giving a whole report to soul, which offers whole vision to mind as the report of the reality seen.
While one cannot stop this reality (father) and its true report (son) to itself, one can attempt to attack by falsifying the report to soul. The primary (and only real) function of creation, including its whole report to soul, cannot be interrupted, nevertheless stopped. Inherent in the freedom to exercise mind in any way, one can attempt to violate this law of constancy, but cannot literally do so. But the attempt itself becomes an incomplete set of thoughts that keep dividing and redividing their incompleteness and circularity (unrealness) to soul and back to vision. The real vision that is integral with the reality it reports (sees) is unwaveringly infinite and whole, and yet, the attempt to refuse and deny constancy and wholeness becomes a false report that uses the real report like a carrier wave. The false report is like an interference pattern or a non-resonant frequency pattern, becoming a distraction of attention. True attention also is whole and cannot literally be split, and so all of these things "make" counterfeits to work in mind in what can be likened to a practice area similar to what programmers use when making and testing a program in a simulated environment (dream). So, you get counterfeit attention, counterfeit meditation, counterfeit ideation, counterfeit soul and sight function (and whole function in general seeming to be broken down into many functions) and so on. In a sense it is like throwing thousands of BB-sized pebbles into a pond over and over, keeping the surface reflections reporting distorted reflections...a vexation of spirit (even though the vexation only shows up in the counterfeit vision, not in spirit itself). It is like raining on one's own parade. The attempting itself throws the one attempting into a multifaceted array of vexed tizzies, with some tizzies seeming positive and desirable and some tizzies seeming negative and undesirable...instead of seeing peace as it is and noticing it is wholly desirable.
You cannot disturb peace, but you can exercise will in ways you do not like, and blow your own mind like a circuit breaker. Once it is blown, it has an auto-reset sequence (the dream of a process of atonement or forgiveness or healing) that goes into seeming effect to restore the correct distribution and flow reporting so that each individuation's belief is not at odds with the substance of the faithfulness that love is. However, the nature of resistance is cyclic and cumulative, although limited by its incompleteness, and you just keep misunderstanding how to restore agreement by acceptance, and instead of allowing its automatic process, you keep dumping effort into the circuit breaker reset mechanism. This continually trips and retrips the circuit breaker, and keeps the counterfeit ideation of interference patterns going. We interpret the reflections on the lake and try various complex methodologies to make the reflections tranquil again by throwing in just the right amount and quality and size of pebbles at just the right rate. We lose sight of the truth that only ceasing from throwing in the pebbles can calm the surface of our mind in order to see. The only thing that can be thrown into the lake that will not disturb its reflections in appearance is the whole lake together, and we are too busy making tiny counterfeit partial thoughts, rearranging and structuring them into methods and throwing them into the lake instead.
Acceptance of the atonement is finding the willingness to (begin to) become open to the idea of allowing the surface to calm itself...which it will naturally do.
Forgiveness is this same thing...taken to the point of renewed vision wherein the vision now reports the truth. Whole or true forgiveness, already being there in fore-giving, gives to all what it has discovered of all....a calm reality already existing peacefully within, far beyond any real disturbance by our vexing attempts. This is to say that for all our attempting to attack the lake with our rain pellets, it really isn't changed at all. It was as though the tranquil lake surface was there awaiting our acceptance all the time, and that looking at it instead of pelting it revealed in an instant that this was so.
These are crude metaphors are intended only to point toward a way of thinking and looking that can assist in opening the mind through examining appropriate attitudes about discovering peace and seeing it as it is. If we choose, we must choose against seeing it as it is, for seeing it as it is requires no action at all, but simply being willing to look and nothing more. In our conditioned habit of doing, doing, doing...it is hard to think of something that is wholly indivisibly unchangable, and without need for changing or accomplishing. Forgiveness is letting go of that habit of vexation and attempting to finish that which is forever finished.
Then of course, having heard that message, people set out to "let go" of these things....a mistake. Just relax and quit trying to make it "happen"...for it does not need to happen, but merely needs our whole attention to the whole thought (or word) of God in us as us...which will automatically reveal itself to us when once we allow it to do so. It is showing us already, and were it not for the ripples criss-crossing the lake, we would see it easily. In fact we already do, but we keep insisting we do not, superimposing a false ideation cloak over the naked body of our father so as to hide our guilt.
