T. 22. VI. 12 & 13. Jesus: “You are one with God and if you recognized this oneness, you would know His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind has value. It is unjustified in any form, because it has no meaning!
The only way attack could have meaning would be if you and your brother were separate from the other, and all were separate from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the Creation without the whole, the Son without the Father; and to attack another without attacking yourself, or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. But none of this is so! Yet this is the belief you have shown you want!
But wherein lies its value, except in the desire to ‘attack in safety?’ Attack is neither safe nor dangerous! In truth, attack is utterly impossible! And this is so because the universe is wholly one. You would not be trying to attack its reality if seeing the universe separated from its maker were not at the very essence of the idea. And only thus does it seem as if what is really love, could attack and become fearful. Only ‘the different’ can appear to attack. So you conclude that because you ‘can attack,’ you and your brother must be different!
Yet does the Holy Spirit explain this differently: ‘Because you and your brother are not different, you cannot attack, and every appearance of attack in but illusion!
Either the ego’s position or the Holy Spirit’s is ‘logical.’ Either could be maintained in isolation, but never both together. The only question to be answered in order to decide which must be true, is whether you and your brother are different! From the position of what you currently understand, you seem to be, and therefore can attack.
Of the two alternatives, this still seems ‘more natural’ and more in line with your past experience. And therefore, it is necessary now that you have other experiences, more in line with truth, to teach you what is natural and true.”
