T. 28. I. 13 – 15. Jesus: “How instantly the memory of God arises in the mind, once it has no fear to keep the memory away! You have let your own remembering of the past be gone. Now is there no past to keep its fearful images in the way of glad awakening to present peace.
The trumpets of eternity resound throughout the stillness, yet disturb it not. And what is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the Cause that fear was made to render ‘un-remembered’ and undone.
The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love which the Son of God remembers, from before his own ‘special remembering’ came between the present and the past, to shut them out. Now is the Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign Effects. Now does he understand what he has made before is really cause-less, having no real effects at all. He has done nothing! And in seeing this, he understands he never had a need for doing anything at all, and never did!
The Son’s Cause is one with Its Effects. There never was a cause beside it that could generate a different past or future. Its Effects are changelessly eternal, beyond all fear, and past the world of sin entirely. What has been lost, for you to see the causeless not? And where is sacrifice now, when memory of God has come to take the place of loss?
What better way to close the little gap between illusions and reality, than to allow the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge that a mere instant will suffice to reach beyond? For God has filled it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a stranded Son forever on a distant shore, where he can but glimpse another shore he can never reach.
The Father wills that the son be lifted up and gently carried over. He has built the bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He wills! Nor fear that you be excluded from the Will that is for you.”
