T. 27. I. 9 – 11. Jesus: “Your function now is but to show your brother that what he thought was ‘sin,’ simply has no cause and does not exist.
For now the body witnesses to nothing from the past. Its very purpose is now open to decision, and the mind is made free again to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be given it, that it may fulfill the function it will receive.
The simple way to let this be achieved is merely this; to let the body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its purpose, though that purpose was actually to foster guilt. For such ‘knowing’ would insist your crippled picture be a fixed and lasting sign of what the body represents, and would leave no space in which a different view, another purpose, can be given it.
