T. 23. I. 10 – 12. Jesus: “You who are beloved of your Father are no illusion, being as true and holy as Himself. The stillness of your certainty of Him and of yourself is home to Both of You, Who dwell as one and not apart. Open the door of His most holy home, and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His Son along with Him!
You are not a stranger in the house of God! Welcome your brother to the home where God has set His Son in serenity and peace, and dwells with him. Illusions have no place where love abides as your protection from everything that is not true. You truly dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed.
How could the resting place of God turn on itself, and seek to overcome the One Who dwells there? And think what happens when the house of God mistakenly perceives itself divided. The altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of sin. Then nothing is remembered except illusions. Illusions can conflict as they appear in different forms. And they do battle only to establish which form is ‘true!’
Illusion meets illusion; while truth simply knows itself! The meeting of illusions leads to war. Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in which fear is born, and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where love abides, and seeks only to share itself.
Conflict and peace are obvious opposites. Where one abides the other cannot be; where either goes the other disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have become illusions’ battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war the knowledge shines, ready to be remembered when you side with peace.”
