T. 25. I. 1 – 4. Jesus: “It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do, since it is He, within you, Who does it! And in the doing of it will you learn the body merely ‘seems’ to be the means of doing. For the Mind is Christ’s means. And so it must be yours.
His Holiness directs the body through the mind at one with Him. And the truth of you is manifest unto your holy brother, as is his to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto Himself. And no longer are there any differences perceived to stand between the aspects of His Holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of the Father’s everlasting Love.
How can you manifest the Christ in you except to look on holiness and see Him there? Perception tells you that, as you would have yourself, you become manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and it shows that you believe you are a separate form. Then everybody that you look upon reminds you of yourself; your sinfulness, your evil, and, above all, your death! And would you not despise the one who tells you this, and seek his death instead?
The message and the messenger are one. And you cannot but see your brother as yourself. Framed in his body you will see your sinfulness, wherein you stand condemned. Set in his holiness, the Christ in him proclaims Himself to you as but yourself!
Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be; the world you want to live in, and the state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses, at your decision, where you think your safety lies. It reveals yourself to you as you would have you be.

Always is perception faithful to your purpose, from which it never separates, nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your chosen purpose to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart, has none!
You are the means for God; not separate, nor with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in love celestial and so complete it wishes only that it may release all that it looks upon unto itself.”
