T. 31. VII. 8 – 10. Jesus: “Behold your role within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of Love and life entrusted all salvation from the misery of hell. And to each one is given the grace to be a savior to the holy ones especially entrusted to his care.
This he learns when first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself, and sees there but the mirror of himself! Thus is the special concept of himself as separate now laid by, for nothing any longer stands between his sight and and the one he looks upon. No longer does he have ‘another self’ to judge for him what he beholds!
Now in this single vision does he see the face of Christ in his brother, and understands he looks on everyone as he beholds this one. For now there is light where darkness was before, and now the veil is lifted from his sight.
The ‘veil’ that hides the face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the attraction of guilt and death, they all are different names for just one error. You believe there is a space between you and your brother, the two of you kept apart by an ‘illusion of yourself’ that holds him apart from you, and you away from him!
The ‘sword of judgment’ is the weapon you have given to the illusion of yourself as separate, that it may fight to keep the space that holds your brother off from you devoid of the Fathers’s love. Yet while you hold this sword of judgment, you must perceive the body as yourself! For this binds you to avoid the sight of him who holds the mirror, in which you see another view of what he is, and thus what you must be!
What is temptation but the wish to stay in hell and misery? And what could this give rise to but an ‘image’ of yourself that can be miserable, and remain in hell and torment? Who has learned to see his brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To everyone has God entrusted all, because a partial savior would be one who is but ‘partly saved.’
The holy ones whom God has given you to save are but everyone you meet or look upon, not knowing who they are; all those you saw an instant and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those you will yet meet; the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has given you His entire and holy Son to save from every concept that he ever held.”
