T. 20. III. 8 – 11. Jesus: “Before you accepted the Holy Spirit’s purpose for your relationship, did you see the holiness that shone in both you and your brother, holiness for each to use to bless the other? This is now the purpose of your holy relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment from the ego, the one thing that still would have it be un-holy!
Give the ego no power to adjust the means to fit its own end! Prisoners bound for years with heavy chains, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted, and with eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand what freedom is and in that interval they remain vulnerable to the ego’s weak appeal. You groped but feebly in the dust and found your brother’s hand, uncertain whether to let it go or to take hold on life so long forgotten.
Strengthen now your hold on life! And raise your eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness remained untouched and perfect. With him beside you, you shall this day enter with him to Paradise, and know the peace of God!
Such is my will for you and your brother, and for each of you, for one another and for himself. Here, there is only holiness and joining without limit. For what is Heaven but union, direct and perfect, and without the veil of fear upon it? Here we are one, looking with perfect gentleness upon each other and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of separation between us become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friend, my brother and my Self.
Your gift unto your brother has given me the certainty our union will be soon. Share, then, this faith with me, and know that it is justified. There is no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin, and it must look on others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it fear without?
The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but where they will to be? You and your brother now will lead each other to the Father, just as surely as God created His Son holy, and kept him so. In your brother is the light of God’s eternal promise of your immortality. See him as sinless, and there can be no fear in you!”
Before you accepted the Holy Spirit’s purpose, did you see the holiness that shone in both you and your brother, holiness with which to bless the other? That is now the purpose of your holy relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment from the one thing that still would have it be unholy! Give the ego no power to adjust the means and end!”
