T. 26. III. 1 – 4. Jesus: “Complexity is not of God. How could it be, when all He knows is One? He knows of one creation, one reality, one truth and but one Son. Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, could there be complexity in Him?
What is there to decide? For it is conflict that makes choice possible. The truth is simple; it is one, without an opposite. And how could strife enter in its simple presence, and bring complexity where oneness is? The truth makes no decisions, for there is nothing to decide between. And only if there were, could choosing be a necessary step in the advance toward oneness.
What is everything leaves room for nothing else. Yet is this magnitude beyond the scope of this curriculum. Nor is it necessary we dwell on anything that cannot be immediately grasped.
There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a place, and ‘when’ you reach it, is really apart from time. Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet, and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are seen by you to be untrue. This ‘borderland’ is just outside the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied, and everything that is received instead.
This is the journey’s end. We have earlier referred to it as the real world. And yet is there a contradiction in these terms, in that the words imply a limited reality, a partial truth, a segment of the illusory universe made true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon your perception. They are simply brought together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is.

Salvation awaits you in a borderland where place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already made.
Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever make; the last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on perception, and it is simply: ‘It has no meaning, and does not exist.’“
