T. 27. III. 4 – 7. Jesus: “Un-weakened power, with no opposite, is what creation is. For this there are no symbols! Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than everything?
Yet illusions’ undoing must be kind! And so the first replacement for your empty picture of your brother is another picture of another kind, not of a body. As nothingness cannot be pictured as it is, so also there is no symbol for totality. Reality is ultimately known without a form, un-pictured and unseen.
Forgiveness, as you understand it, is not yet a power known as wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have made and chosen to impose. Forgiveness is the means by which the truth comes to be represented to you through miracles, albeit temporarily.
Forgiveness lets the Holy Spirit make ‘exchange of pictures’ possible, that you may recognize your brother as not a body, until the time when all learning aids are meaningless and learning done. No such aid, even the miracle itself, has use that can extend beyond the goal of learning. When learning’s aim has been accomplished, even the miracle is functionless. Yet in the learning interval it has a use you may still fear, but yet will come to love!
The new picture of your brother given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant, will not need defense of any kind. For you will give it overwhelming preference. Do not delay an instant in deciding that it is the only one you want!

The picture given you by the Holy Spirit stands not for double concepts nor inherent contradictions. Though it still is but half the picture, and yet incomplete, within itself it is the same. The other half of what it represents remains unknown as yet, but is not cancelled out.
And thus is God left free to take the final step Himself. For this you need no pictures and no learning aids. And what will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will merely be!
As the memory of Him returns, forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade. And nothing that the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to be perceived. A power wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive its own. There is no choice of function anywhere. The ancient choice you fear to lose, you never had! Yet only this remains to interfere with power unlimited and holy thoughts in singularity, complete and happy, without opposite.
You do not know the peace of power that opposes nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the power beyond forgiveness, and beyond the world of symbols and limitations. Your Creator would merely be, and so He merely is.”
