T. 25. III. 1 – 4. Jesus: “To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent you will perceive attack cannot be justified.
This is in accord with perception’s fundamental law: ‘You see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there!’ Perception has no other law than this. The rest of the world you perceive but stems from this, to hold it up and offer it support.
This is simply perception’s form, adapted to this world, of God’s more basic law; that love creates itself, and nothing but itself. God’s laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a world could not have been created by the Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere!
Not that the world where this mere reflection is, is real at all! Only because His Son believes it is, and from His Son’s belief He could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could not enter His Son’s insanity with him, but He could be sure His Own sanity went there with him, so that the Son could not be lost forever in the madness of the his idle wish.
Perception thus rests on choosing; knowledge does not. Knowledge has but one law because it has but one Creator. But this world of perception has two who’ve made it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a different purpose, and to each it is a perfect means to serve the goal for which it is perceived. For specialness, the world is the perfect frame to set it off; the perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter for illusions which it would ‘make real.’ Not one illusion but it upholds in its perception; not one but can be fully justified.
Yet there is another Maker of the world as well. It is the Holy Spirit, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that anything could be established and maintained without some link that kept it still within the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the greater Universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has in the illusion of time and space.

Corrected error is the error’s end. And thus has God protected still His Son, even in his error.”
>>> Today I pray the Holy Spirit be in charge of my perception. At the slightest upset will I reaffirm my choice, and let my mind be restored to peace.
