T. 20. II. 6 – 9. Jesus: “This Easter, as you have looked with different eyes upon your brother, you have forgiven me. And yet I cannot use your gift of lilies while you accept them not as yours!
Nor can you use what I have given unless you share it. The Holy Spirit’s vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a while and laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully. Think it not but a dream, a careless thought to play with, or a toy you would pick up from time to time and then put by. For if you do, so will it be to you.
You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers and no obstacles to peace. The final obstacle to peace, the fear of God, is nothing to you now! Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received.
The Son of God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been given the strength to look upon this final obstacle, and see no thorns nor nails to crucify the Son of God, which would but crown him ‘king of death!’
Your real home is on the other side, beyond the veil. It has been carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you now. You will not see it with the body’s eyes. Yet all you need you already have. Your home has called to you since time began, and you have never entirely failed to hear! You heard, but knew not how to look for it, nor where. And now you know!
In you, the knowledge lies, ready to be unveiled and freed from all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no fear in love! The song of Easter is the glad refrain that the Son of God was never crucified! Let us lift up our eyes together, not in fear but faith. Then there will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no illusions; only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we share in quietness and where we live in gentleness and peace, as one together.
Would you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence will light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar within him, where you laid the lilies of forgiveness.”
