T. 24. II. 9 – 11. Jesus: “You have come far along the way of truth; too far to falter now. Just one step more, and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in love.
Your brother’s specialness and yours are enemies, binding you in hate to kill each other and deny you are the same. Yet it is not the ‘illusions of yourselves’ that now look honestly upon this final obstacle, the one remaining which would still seem to make God and His Heaven so remote that They can never be reached.
Here and now, in this holy place, does truth stand waiting to receive you and your brother in silent blessing, and in peace so real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this place, to which you come in hope and honesty!
Here is the savior from your specialness. Your brother is in need of your acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his. You are as alike to God as God is to Himself. Your Creator is not special, for He would not keep a part of what He is unto Himself, withheld from His Son and kept for Him alone. And it is but this you fear, for if He is not special, and He willed His Son to be like Him, you are as He.
And your brother is like you; not special, but possessed of everything as one, including you! Give to your brother now but what is truly his, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him, Who chose that love could never be divided and kept separate from what it is and must forever be.
You are your brother’s; part of your Father’s Love that was not denied to him. But can it be that anything is lost to you because your brother is complete? What has been given him makes you complete, as it does him. God’s Love gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself.
What is the same as God is one with Him! And only the pursuit of specialness could make the truth, that God and you are one, seem anything but Heaven in your sight.”
