T. 24. III. 4 – 6. Jesus: “Without foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is safe, resting on Him.
It is your ‘specialness’ that is attacked by everything that walks and breathes, or creeps or crawls, or even lives at all. It is safe from nothing, for nothing is safe from its attack. It will forevermore be unforgiving, for that is what it is; a secret vow that what God wants for you will never be, and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same, while specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between them, and makes them enemies.
God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you will. In truth they are the same, for neither One wills specialness. How could They will the death of love itself? Yet They are powerless to make attack upon illusions. They are not bodies; and as one Mind They wait for all illusions to be brought to Them, and left behind. Salvation challenges not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, ‘Thy will be done,’ because you think it is.
Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. This grand illusion is the hell you chose to be your home. He chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this! Here, the way is barred to love and to salvation.
Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of hell through your forgiveness, you have forgiven the Father, Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace, in perfect safety, and without the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not give, and that you made instead!’
