T. 23. II. 1 – 3. Jesus: “Underlying the thinking of the world are ‘laws of chaos’ which can be brought to light, though surely never understood! ‘Chaotic laws’ is hardly a meaningful term, and therefore outside the sphere of reason. Yet they still appear, and pose an obstacle to reason and to truth.
Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may learn to look beyond them by understanding what they are, and not continue the faulty thinking they would have us maintain. It is essential that you clearly understand what they are for. Their purpose is to ‘make meaningless,’ and to attack the truth!
Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing! There is nothing here ‘to be broken;’ merely looked upon, released, and gone beyond. The first chaotic law, then, is that the truth is different for each and everyone!
Like all these worldly principles, this one maintains that each person is separate and has a different set of thoughts that set him off from others. This principle evolves from the belief there is indeed a hierarchy of illusions; with some held more tightly, more valuable, and thus supposedly ‘true.’ Each person establishes this set of values for himself, and defends its ’truth’ by his attack on what another values. And this is justified because the values differ, and those who hold them seem to be unlike, and therefore enemies!
Think how this must seem to interfere with the first principle of miracles, that there is no order of difficulty among them! For this first law of chaos establishes ‘degrees of truth’ among illusions, making it seem that some of them are harder to overcome than others. If it were realized that they are all the same, and all equally untrue, it would then be easy to understand that miracles apply to all of them.
Errors of any kind can be corrected because they simply are untrue. When brought together with truth instead of into conflict with each other, they merely disappear. No part of nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another!”
