T. 25. VII. 8 – 10. Jesus: “It would be madness to entrust salvation to the insane, but you are not without One Who knows the way. Because He is not mad, has God appointed this One, as sane as He, to raise a saner world to meet the sight of everyone who previously chose insanity as his salvation.
To this One is given the choice of experience in form most suitable to the separated one. A new way of perceiving is offered him, which will not attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness, and gently show to him his madness and the need for its correction.
This One, the Holy Spirit, but points to an alternative perception, another way of looking at what the separated one has seen before, and recognizes as the world in which he lives and always thought he understood.
Now must he question this past ‘understanding,’ because the form of this ‘new alternative’ is one he cannot deny, nor overlook, nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each, this ‘special function’ is designed to be perceived as wholly possible, and more and more desired, as it proves to him that it is an alternative he really wants. From this new vantage point does his sinfulness, and all the sin he sees within the world, offer him less and less. Now he comes to understand that his old specialness cost him his sanity, and stands between him and whatever hope he has of being sane.

You are not left without escape from madness, for you have a special part in everyone’s escape, guided by your inner Voice. You can no more be left outside, without a special function in the hope of peace, than could the Father overlook His Son, and pass him by in careless thoughtlessness.
What is really dependable except God’s Love? And where does sanity abide except in the awareness of Him? The One Who speaks for Him can show you this, in the alternative way He chose especially for you, as your special function. It is God’s Will that you remember this, and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy.

Accept the function that has been assigned to you in God’s Own plan to show His Son that hell and Heaven are different, not the same. And that in Heaven they are all the same, without the differences which would have made a hell of Heaven and a heaven of hell, had such insanity been possible!”
