T. 30. VIII. 4 – 6. Jesus: “Reality is changeless. Miracles but show that what you have interposed between reality and your awareness is unreal, and does not interfere with truth at all.
When true healing of the Son is your one desire, there is no miracle you cannot have! But there is no miracle that can be given you unless you want it wholly! Choose selectively what you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles has not been left the freedom to bestow His gifts upon God’s whole Son.
When anyone is ‘tempted,’ it means that he denies his reality. And he becomes the willing slave of what he chose instead. Because reality is changeless, is a miracle already there to heal all things that change, and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not while you would have it otherwise ‘in some respects!’ For this but means you would not have your brother healed and whole!
The Christ in your brother is perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no dreams about him you would prefer to seeing this. You will see the Christ in your brother because you cleared your mind of all judgment and let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your brother and in you!
This will you look upon when you decide there is not one ‘appearance’ of what your brother is that you would hold in place. Let no temptation to prefer a dream figure allow uncertainty or wavering to enter here. Be not made guilty and afraid when you are tempted by a dream of what he is. Just do not, in your perception of him, give the dream the power to replace the changeless in him!
There is no false appearance but will fade, if you will just request a miracle instead! There is no pain from which your brother is not free, if you would have him be what he truly is.
Why should you fear to see the Christ in your brother? You but behold yourself in what you see! As he is healed are you made free of guilt, for his appearance is your own to you.”
