You Can Forgive Sin
To 'forgive sin' for another person means to release them from their current undesirable state. This is done by imagining them in their desired, glorious state, hearing them tell a fantastic story of their success, and remaining faithful to this imagined reality.
Suppose I could hear everyone here rise and tell the most fantastic story in the world about themselves or a friend, or a relative – or someone. Suppose I, really wanting it to be told from this platform, sit in the silence and listen to that and that only – the most fantastic story in the world that you could tell me individually. If I walk out of here tonight convinced that I heard it and remain loyal to what I have imagined I heard, I must hear it – no power can stop it, if I remain loyal. ... I see a man and judge him by my senses. I retain it. But I could release him by seeing him standing on his own feet and moving in this world in a glorious manner. So the material I formerly would discard as no good, I don’t discard anymore. I take it and use it. I take the same man that formerly I would discard and see him as gainfully employed, loved, and loving, and believe that the thing I am seeing for him is true; and to the degree I am faithful to the concept for him, it becomes true in this world.
This technique leverages vicarious faith and the power of imagination to transform another's reality. By consistently holding a positive concept for someone, one 'releases' them from their 'sins' (limitations) and helps them manifest their desired state.
