T. 21. VI. 4 – 7. Jesus: “Madness is an attack on reason that drives it out of mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack, but once accepted, takes the place of madness quietly. Reason will replace insanity if it be the choice of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their own will, which is shared with their Creator! For with their belief in separation, they see only the body and let their madness tell them it is real.
Reason would be incapable of this! And if you would defend the body ‘against your reason,’ you will not understand the body or yourself! The body does not separate you from your brother, and if you think it does, you are still insane!
But madness has a purpose, that of separation, and believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined; that is insane! Nor could you even see the body if you truly heard the voice of reason. What can there be that stands between what is continuous? And if there is nothing in between, how can what enters part be kept away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But think what you must recognize, if it be so!
If you cling to the belief in ‘sin’ instead of letting your mind be healed, it means you would condemn the Son of God for something that ‘could never be corrected!’ By this choice, you tell him he is damned; separate from you and from his Father forever, without a hope of safe return. Teach your brother this, and you will learn of him exactly what you taught!
You can teach your brother only that he is as you would have him be. And what you choose he be is but your choice for you. Yet think not that this recognition is fearful! That you are joined to him is but a fact, not an interpretation. How can a fact be fearful unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth?
Reason will tell you that in this fact is your release! Neither your brother nor yourself can be separated and attacked alone. But neither can accept a miracle without the other being blessed by it, and healed of pain! Reason, like love, would reassure you, and seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the Son of God is given you because he cannot but be one with you!
You are responsible for how your brother sees himself! And reason tells you it is given you to change his whole mind, which is one with you, in but an instant. And any instant serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole.”
