T. 19. III. 7 – 9. Jesus: “While you believe that your reality or your brother’s is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin! While you believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of separation appears to you to be everywhere!
God and His creation then seem to be split apart and overthrown. For ‘sin’ would prove what God created holy could not prevail against it, nor remain itself before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow, and offer His creation to its conqueror. Is this humility or madness?
If sin is real, it must forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power beyond God’s, capable of making another will that could attack His Will and overcome it; and give His Son a will apart from His, and stronger still. And each part of God’s fragmented creation would have a different will, opposed to His, and in eternal opposition to Him and to each other.
Your holy relationship has, as its purpose now, the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. You may see it still, because you do not realize that its foundation has gone. Its source has been removed, and so it can be seen a little while before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it still remains.
And yet now you look with Heaven’s smile upon your lips, and Heaven’s blessing on your sight. You will not see sin for long. For in the new perception the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it becomes invisible. Errors are quickly recognized and quickly given to correction, to be healed, not hidden.
You will be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give it no power over your brother. And you will help him overcome mistakes by joyously releasing him from your belief in sin.”
