T. 23. IV. 7 – 9. Jesus: “See no one from the battleground, for there you look on him from nowhere! You have no reference point from where to look, where meaning can be given what you see. For only bodies could attack and murder, and if this be your purpose, then you must be one of them!
Only a purpose unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The body has no purpose of itself, and must therefore be recognized as solitary. From below, on the ego’s level, the body cannot be surmounted. From above, the limits it exerts on those still in battle are gone, and not perceived at all.
The body, simply because it has no real purpose, stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son. Think what is given those who share their Father’s purpose, and who know that it is theirs. They want for nothing! Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is their past, their present and their future; always the same, eternally complete and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind.
Perhaps you think the battleground offers something you can win. Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness, and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that will last forever?
Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never think of battle. What could they ‘gain’ but loss of their perfection? For everything fought for on the battleground is of the body; something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything could seek for limitation, nor could he value the body’s offerings.
The senselessness of conquest is quite apparent from the quiet sphere above the battleground. What can actually conflict with everything, all whole and holy? And what is there that could be sanely wanted more, though truly offering less? Who with the Love of God upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder hard to make?”
