T. 25. II. 6 – 8. Jesus: “The Holy Spirit is the frame God set around the part of Him that you would see as separate. Yet its frame is joined to its Creator, one with Him and with His masterpiece. This is its purpose, and when you choose to see it in its intended place, you do not try to make the frame into the picture.
The frame that God has given it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate purpose that actually obscures the picture, and cherishes the frame, the body, instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a greater frame that will endure forever, when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you not the actual picture is ever destroyed in any way. What God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and perfect in eternity.
Accept God’s frame, the Holy Spirit, instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece itself. Look at its loveliness, and understand the Mind that thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as lovely as Itself. Its holiness lights up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides, and casts a veil of light across the picture’s face which but reflects the light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of death. God kept it safe that you might look upon it now, and see the holiness that He has given it.
Though you remain within the darkness, it is given you to see the savior from the dark, and understand your brother as his Father’s Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on him through the Holy Spirit, and you will see the dark no more. The darkness touched your brother not, nor you who brought him forth for you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will gladly look within, and see the holiness that must be there because of what you looked upon in him.

Your brother is the frame in which your holiness is set, and what God gave to him must also be given you. However much your brother overlooks the masterpiece in himself, seeing but the frame of darkness, it is still your only function to behold in him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that looks on Christ instead of seeing death.”
