A Course In Miracles

CHAPTER 26: THE TRANSITION 

I. The “Sacrifice” of Oneness

            “In the “dynamics” of attack is sacrifice a key idea.”  (1:1)

 

            “It is the symbol of the central theme that somebody must lose.”  (1:3)

 

            “The body is itself a sacrifice; a giving up of power in the name of saving just a little for yourself.  To see a brother in another body, separate from yours, is the expression of a wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest.”  (1:5-6)

 

            “The world you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness.”  (2:1)

 

            “The little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest.”  (3:1)

 

            “The body is a loss, and can be made to sacrifice.  And while you see your brother as a body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him and you.”  (4:1-2)

 

            “Those who would see the witness to truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful.”  (5:1)

 

            “No instant passes here in which your brother’s holiness cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager scrap and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself.”  (5:4)

 

            “You can lose sight of oneness, but can not make sacrifice of its reality.”  (6:1)

 

            “You who would make a sacrifice of life, and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to make of Them what God willed not They be.  In Heaven, God’s Son is not imprisoned in a body, nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin.  And as he is in Heaven, so must he be eternally and everywhere.”  (7:3-5)

 

            “God’s justice rests in gentleness upon His Son, and keeps him safe from all injustice the world would lay upon him.”  (8:1)

 

            “What is the Holy Spirit’s special function but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice?  Could your function be a task apart and separate from His Own?”  (8:5-6)

 

In summary, section 1: “The “Sacrifice” of Oneness” is saying:

 

            Many fear their return to Oneness; not always consciously and in many ways.  The fear stems from the basic belief that we will be swallowed whole by the majestic All That Is, destined to disappear into a greater Self, “sacrificing” our individual personality in exchange for Oneness.

            To all who fear this, I can only respectfully say; what part of God’s Word, that we are created as eternal beings, is so difficult to accept and trust?  By God’s own definition, we will never cease to exist.  We will be added to, but not diminished or erased.  If a puzzle piece is fit into the larger whole, does it cease to exist as a distinguishable piece?  No.  It has merely become one with the total picture, while simultaneously remaining as itself.  We too, are like puzzle pieces, designed to fit together in a Oneness our ego cannot conceive.  Nothing can change the state of our oneness though we can be deceived and dream we are bodies.  But with such a dream, you will “sacrifice” the knowing of our Oneness.

 

II. Many Forms; One Correction

 

“It is not so difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the Holy Spirit to solve all problems for you.  He has not greater difficulty in resolving some than others.  Every problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved in just the same respect and through the same approach.”  (1:1-3)

 

“It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form.  It will recur and then recur again and yet again, until it has been answered for all time and will not rise again in any form.  And only then are you released from it.”  (1:6-8)

 

“The Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you have.  They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the form it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a sacrifice that you might gain.  And when the situation is worked out so no one loses is the problem gone, because it was an error in perception that now has been corrected.”  (2:1-3)

 

            “This one mistake, in any form, has one correction.”  (3:1)

 

            “You have no problems, though you think you have.”  (3:3)

 

            “The miracle of justice can correct all errors.  Every problem is an error.”  (4:1-2)

 

            “You who believe it safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the others to yourself, remember this: Justice is total.  There is no such thing as partial justice.  If the Son of God is guilty then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy from the God of justice.  But ask not God to punish him because you find him guilty and would have him die.”  (5:1-4)

 

            “If God is just, then can there be no problems that justice cannot solve.”  (6:1)

 

            “Consider once again your special function.  One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness.” (6:5-6)

 

            “The miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him.”  (6:8)

 

            “Think, then, how great your own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your problems.”  (7:1)

 

            “Sacrifice is gone.  And in its place the Love of God can be remembered, and will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss.”  (7:6-7)

 

            “Your special function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His Love kept perfectly intact and undefiled.”  (8:4)

 

            “For it is not your Father’s Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave, when He created you in perfect love.”  (8:6)

 

In summary, section 2: “Many Forms; One Correction” is saying:

 

            All of our problems stem from thinking we are separate bodies.  Think of one problem that you have, that does not involve either the needs of your own body, or that of someone else’s.  When we are not at peace, it is always due to something we wish was different in our bodily life.  Our problems take many forms, but there is only one problem, and therefore, one correction: See no one as a body.  Of yourself, you cannot look on anyone and see beyond the body, but the Holy Spirit can.  You allow Him to do this, through your one function: Forgiveness.  Allow Him to look on all as sinless or “bodiless.”  In this, is all sacrifice (the seeing of suffering bodies) gone.  In the open space created in your mind through forgiveness, the memory of God’s Love will return.  Forgive the many forms of bodies and their problems through knowing this is not our true identity.  Forgive the many forms of problems you see with this one Correction.

 

III. The Borderland

 

            “Complexity is not of God.  How could it be, when all He knows is one?”  (1:1-2)

 

            “Nothing conflicts with oneness.”  (1:4)

 

            “There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven.”  (2:1)

 

            “Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are judged to be untrue.  This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven.”  (2:3-4)

 

            “This is the journey’s end.  We have referred to it as the real world.”  (3:1-2)

 

            “Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed.  But what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever make; the last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment upon this world.  It is the judgement of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on perception: “It has no meaning, and does not exist.””  (4:1-3)

 

            “Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation.”  (5:1)

 

            “Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same?  This difference is the learning goal this course has set.”  (5:3-4)

 

            “There is no basis for a choice in this complex and overcomplicated world.  For no one understands what is the same, and seems to choose where no choice really is.”  (6:1-2)

 

            “Is not this like your special function, where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what once was specialness, and now is union?  All illusions are but one.  And in the recognition this is so lies the ability to give up all attempts to choose between them, and to make them different.”  (7:1-3)         

 

            “No sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment of an illusion recognized as such.  Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was never true, can it be hard to give it up, and choose what must be true?”  (7:6-7)

 

In summary, section 3: “The Borderland” is saying:

 

            The borderland is the state of mind we enter, just before our full realization of our Oneness in God.  It is a place of deep acceptance of the truth: this world is not real.  None of it.  And we are no longer trying to hold onto any single part of it to the point of pain and suffering.  We have let go of our relationships; the need to control them is gone.  We have let go of our money and possessions; the need to control wealth is gone.  We have let go of our health; the need to control our body is gone.  We rest in peace knowing that only good can come to us, and we take action within this world only if it comes from a place of love.  All illusions have been laid down; all complexity is seen as part of the same dream.  We are awake.  We see this world and all it contains and understand it is not the truth.  Being in the borderland is to have truly forgiven all forms you see.  It is the relinquishment of illusion for truth.  We have ceased trying to control the dream through wishing it was different, and instead, we recognize it for the nothingness it is.  The borderland is where dreams have been laid aside at last, and Heaven is just ahead.

 

IV. Where Sin Has Left

 

            “Forgiveness is this world’s equivalent of Heaven’s justice.  It translates the world of sin into a simple world, where justice can be reflected from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies.”  (1:1-2)

 

            “Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it, until he sees himself as needing it no more.”  (1:7)

 

            “Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see.”  (2:1)

 

            “There is no sadness and there is no parting here, for everything is totally forgiven.  And what has been forgiven must join, for nothing stands between to keep them separate and apart.”  (2:3-4)

 

            “The holy place on which you stand is but the space that sin has left.  And here you see the face of Christ, arising in its place.”  (3:1-2)

 

            “Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his home.  Not one is lost, and none is cherished more than any other.”  (4:2-3)

 

            “Where sin once was perceived will rise a world that will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven there, and sing their song of gratitude and praise.”  (5:1-2)

 

            “How little is the hindrance that withholds the wealth of Heaven from you.  And how great will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the Love of God!”  (6:2-3)

 

In summary, section 4: “Where Sin Has Left” is saying:

 

            Remember that the word “sin” is interchangeable with the word “separation.”  When the idea of separation has left us, there can be only an experience of union.  These are the only two states we can perceive; separation or union.  And only one is true.  The words “forgiveness” and “justice” are also interchangeable because they both stand for overlooking what is separate and seeing only union in its place.  It is truly “just” to give God’s love equally and to all.  All are deserving because to deny God’s love to any part, is to deny love to a part of your one Self.  And so, forgiveness (or justice), is to see union and turns the world of sin (separation) into a “world of glory, wonderful to see.”  There is no sadness, and there is no parting in this new world.  Where once we perceived sin (separation), there will rise a world that will reflect only the truth of our Oneness.  How little separates us!  Just a mere change in thought and we are free of sin (or separation).  Where sin (or separation) has left our mind, we will experience the total joy of our Union.

 

V. The Little Hindrance

 

 

            “A little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same.  Yet teaching that is what this course is for.  This is its only purpose, for only that is all there is to learn.” (1:1-3)

 

            “All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven.”  (1:5)

 

            “There are but two teachers only, who point in different ways.”  (1:7)

 

            “You but choose whether to go toward Heaven, or away to nowhere.  There is nothing else to choose. (1:11-12)

 

            “Nothing is ever lost but time, which in the end is meaningless.  For it is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the world.”  (2:1-2)

 

            “God gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict with it.  And what He would replace has been replaced.  Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity.”  (3:1-3)

 

            “The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one, and all of them that came within the first.”  (3:5)

 

            “To you who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in time, though it has long since gone.”  (4:1)

 

            “The tiny instant you would keep and make eternal, passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had come.”  (5:1)

 

            “Yet in each unforgiving act or thought, in every judgment and in all belief in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time.  You keep an ancient memory before your eyes.  And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of where he is.”  (5:5-7)

 

            “Forgiveness is the great release from time.  It is the key to learning that the past is over.”  (6:1-2)

 

            “For what has been undone no longer is.”  (6:5)

 

            “Is this a hindrance to the place whereon he stands?”  (7:1)

 

            “And how much can his own illusions about time and place effect a change in where he really is?”  (7:3)

 

            “And do you want that fearful instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and made a symbol of your hate?”  (8:4)

 

            “Forget the time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone.”  (9:1)

 

            “You cannot lose your way because there is no way but His, and nowhere can you go except to Him.”  (9:8)

 

            “Would God allow His Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of time gone by?  This course will teach you only what is now.”  (10:1-2)

 

            “The Son whom God created is as free as God created him.”  (11:1)

 

            “Each day, and every minute in each day, and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when the time of terror took the place of love.”  (13:1)

 

            “Forgive the past and let it go, for it is gone.”  (14:1)

 

            “There is no hindrance to the Will of God, nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago.  Look gently on your brother, and behold the world in which perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of love.”  (14:4-5)

 

In summary, section 5: “The Little Hindrance” is saying:

 

            We made but one mistake in thinking; that we could ever be separate from God and one another.  And there is but one hindrance to correcting this mistake; that we believe the world we made through our mistaken thought is real.  Forgive the first mistake and you have forgiven the world. When clearly stated, the process to returning to Heaven seems simple; merely a “little hindrance.”  Yet when faced with a world of seeming pain and suffering at every turn, such “a little hindrance can seem large indeed.”  Yet we are provided the answer and have the freedom to choose to apply it to the world.  We can choose forgiveness.  Forgiveness is the great release from time and our mistake.  To forgive is to release all ego-thoughts.  To forgive is to free your mind from the world of form and time and allow it to rest in God’s eternal peace.  Do you want to keep reliving that fearful instant where you thought yourself separated from God and All That Is?  Then let go of the past.  For when our minds dwell on what has been done, we keep the past alive, here in the present.  We have the power to choose to let all things go.  Therefore, look with love on all whom you see or think of, and know there is no hindrance to your perception of Oneness.

 

VI. The Appointed Friend

 

            “Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you, and will do so.  Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion, and made it real.”  (1:1-2)

 

            “All belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death, has come to you.  For no one can make one illusion real, and still escape the rest.”  (1:6-7)

 

            “Lead not your little life in solitude, with one illusion as your only friend.”  (2:1)

 

            “Yet God has given him a better Friend, in Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests.”  (2:3)

 

            “Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him Whom God has called your Friend.  And it is He Who is your only Friend in truth.  He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to Whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them.  He will place them on your throne, when you make room for Him on His.”  (3:3-6)

 

In summary, section 6: “The Appointed Friend” is saying:

 

            Do not “make friends” with the ego and its desires; beware its false promises.  The world you see holds nothing that you want, though it may tempt you to believe it can provide the peace and happiness you seek.  This does not mean we cannot enjoy the world!  In fact, we are told that we will enjoy the world with immense love once we have forgiven it.  But in order to get there, we have to follow only our one true appointed Friend, the Voice of the Holy Spirit within us.  To allow Him to guide us, we must clear our inner altar of all feelings of striving, want, and need of anything we think the world of form can provide us.  This allows our spiritual gifts to be placed on the inner altar of our mind; the healing gifts of love and peace from the Holy Spirit, our appointed Friend.

 

VII. The Laws of Healing

 

            “This is a course in miracles.  As such, the laws of healing must be understood before the purpose of the course can be accomplished.  Let us review the principles that we have covered, and arrange them in a way that summarizes all that must occur for healing to be possible.”  (1:1-3)

 

            “All sickness comes from separation.  When the separation is denied, it goes.  For it is gone as soon as the idea that thought it has been healed, and been replaced by sanity.”  (2:1-3)

 

            “Guilt asks for punishment, and its request is granted.  Not in truth, but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin.”  (3:1-2)

 

            “Yet is truth unchanged.  It cannot be perceived but only known.”  (3:5-6)

 

            “Yet has God given answer to the world of sickness, which applies to all its forms.”  (4:2)

 

            “It is in this world, but not a part of it.”  (4:4)

 

            “God’s answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly undone and without cause.  Perception’s laws must be reversed, because they are reversals of the laws of truth.”  (5:1-2)

 

            “It is impossible that one illusion be less amenable to truth than are the rest.  But it is possible that some are given greater value, and less willingly offered to truth for healing and for help.”  (6:1-2)

 

            “And truth needs no defense to make it true.”  (8:2)

 

            “Forgiveness is the only function here, and serves to bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God’s Son where sin was thought to rule.”  (8:5)

 

            “Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and yourself.  It is the wish that you be joined with him, and not apart.”  (9:1-2)

 

            “Yet is this wish in line with Heaven’s state, and not in opposition to God’s Will.”  (9:4)

 

            “Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world that death and desolation seem to rule.  In joyous answer will creation rise within you, to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete.  What is forgiveness but a willingness that truth be true?”  (10:1-3)

 

            “What is the Will of God?  He wills His Son have everything.”  (11:1-2)

 

            “Let us consider what the error is, so it can be corrected, not protected.”  (12:1)

 

            “God wills you learn what always has been true: that He created you as part of Him, and this must still be true because ideas leave not their source.”  (13:2)

 

            “In every miracle all healing lies, for God gave answer to them all as one.  And what is one to Him must be the same.”  (15:4-5)

 

            “His Kingdom is united; thus it was created, and thus will it ever be.”  (15:8)

 

            “The miracle but calls your ancient Name, which you will recognize because the truth is in your memory.”  (16:1)

 

            “Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind.”  (17:2)

 

            “To use the power God has given you as He would have it used is natural.”  (18:1)

 

            “But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave, and choose a little senseless wish instead of what He wills.”  (18:3)

 

            “Abide in peace, where God would have you be.”  (19:1)

 

            “There is no difference among the Sons of God.  The unity that specialness denies will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness.”  (19:5-6)

 

            “No wishes lie between a brother and his own.”  (19:8)

 

            “A miracle can make no change at all.  But it can make what always has been true be recognized by those who know it not; and by this little gift of truth but let to be itself, the Son of God allowed to be himself, and all creation freed to call upon the Name of God as one.”  (20:4-5)

 

In summary, section 7: “The Laws of Healing” is saying:

 

            There are laws, or rules to be followed when being healed.  One law being, that healing begins in the mind, for it is our thoughts that govern what we experience.  You know this is true; some experiences give people a wonderful thrill, while others are terrified by the exact same experience.  The only difference between them, is what the mind perceived the experience to be.  Therefore, it can be understood that all sickness comes from the idea of separation.  If we were not separated bodies, but still knew our Oneness in God, sickness (or separation) would be impossible.  The answer to our healing then, must be in our mind, where the idea of separation (or sickness) originated.  The idea of forgiveness is the remedy to sickness.  The thought of forgiveness (or Oneness) heals or corrects the idea of sickness because it is the opposite of separation.  Forgiveness is the answer to our attack on the truth of our unity in God, for forgiveness is to wish for the experience of our oneness instead of separation.  Such is the law of healing; first we must heal our own mind, then the world will follow.

 

VIII. The Immediacy of Salvation

 

            “The one remaining problem that you have is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive, and will receive the benefits of trusting in your brother.”  (1:1)

 

            “If it has been projected beyond your mind you think of it as time.  The nearer it is brought to where it is, the more you think of it in terms of space.”  (1:4-5)

 

            “There is a distance you would keep apart from your brother, and this space you perceive as time because you still believe you are external to him.”  (2:1)

 

            “From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers now.”  (2:5)

 

            “Salvation is immediate.”  (3:1)

 

            “Salvation would wipe out the space you see between you still, and let you instantly become as one.”  (3:4)

 

            “If you would keep a little space between you and your brother still, you then would want a little time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while.”  (3:8)

 

            “Yet space between you and your brother is apparent only in the present, now, and cannot be perceived in future time.”  (4:1)

 

            “A future cause as yet has no effects.”  (4:6)

 

            “The plans you make for safety all are laid within the future, where you cannot plan.  No purpose has been given it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no cause.”  (5:1-2)

 

            “And in overlooking this, is it protected and kept separate from healing.  For a miracle is now.  It stands already here, in present grace, within the only interval of time that sin and fear have overlooked, but which is all there is to time.”  (5:7-9)

 

            “The working out of all correction takes no time at all.  Yet the acceptance of the working out can seem to take forever.”  (6:1-2)

 

            “And you seek to be content with sighing, and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now, but will some day.”  (7:6)

 

            “This is not reason, for it is unjust, and clearly hints at punishment until the time of liberation is at hand.”  (7:8)

 

            “This is the sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit asks for what He gave without a cost at all.”  (7:10)

 

            “Be not content with future happiness.”  (9:1)

 

            “Delay is senseless, and the “reasoning” that would maintain effects of present cause must be delayed until a future time, is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one.”  (9:6)

 

            “The Holy Spirit’s purpose now is yours.  Should not His happiness be yours as well?”  (9:9-10)

 

In summary, section 8: “The Immediacy of Salvation” is saying:

 

            All thoughts that have to do with future events, are considered to exist only in time.  Once the anticipated event arrives, it is considered to be happening in physical space.  This is the delay we see between what we think and what we experience.  Yet, the Holy Spirit tells us there is no need for such a delay when it comes to our salvation – our experience of Oneness.  All miracles happen only now. And therefore, our happiness, being tied to miracles, can only be experienced now also.  The miracle forgiveness brings is not a future event, though we can delay it for as long as we choose to.  The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to bring our thoughts into the present, rather than continue to project them into the future.  He does this through forgiveness; seeing us as we are in truth, now.  Right now, in this present moment, we exist as God created us.  We are One Self.  We rest in the peace of God’s Love.  We should not trouble our minds with the thoughts of the ego, that continuously revolve around its wishes and plans for the future.  All such thoughts are ego “delay tactics” that keep us from our peace now.  All such thoughts are an attempt to keep the immediacy of our salvation hidden from our awareness.

 

IX. For They Have Come

 

            “Think but how holy you must be from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your call!  And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own salvation, with his freedom joined!  However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him.  And never will you know He is in you as well while you attack His chosen home, and battle with His host.  Regard him gently.  Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ within him, that you may behold his glory and rejoice that Heaven is not separate from you.”  (1:1-6)

 

            “Forget not that a shadow held between your brother and yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of God.  And would you trade them for an ancient hate?”  (2:2-3)

 

            “What was a place of death has now become a living temple in a world of light.  Because of Them.  It is Their Presence which has lifted holiness again to take its ancient place upon an ancient throne.  Because of Them have miracles sprung up as grass and flowers on the barren ground that hate had scorched and rendered desolate.”  (3:2-5)

 

            “When They come, time’s purpose is fulfilled.  What never was passes to nothingness when They have come.”  (4:2-3)

 

            “For They have come to gather in Their Own.”  (5:2)

 

            “The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love.  And They come quickly to the living temple, where a home for Them has been set up.  There is no place in Heaven holier.”  (6:1-3)

 

            “Your footprints lighten up the world, for where you walk forgiveness gladly goes with you.”  (7:2)

 

            “An ancient miracle has come to bless and to replace an ancient enmity that came to kill.”  (8:5)

 

            “Now is the Holy Spirit’s purpose done.  For They have come!  For They have come at last!”  (8:7-9)

 

In summary, section 9: “For They Have Come” is saying:

 

            Who are “They?”  We are told the answer in the first paragraph.  “They” are the part of our mind that contains the Voice for God – the Holy Spirit – along with our own spirit, as well as that of our brother’s.  “They” are the unified part of “Us” Who resides in perfect peace within God’s Love.  “They” are actually “We.”  And when “They have come,” it is the arrival of our understanding of the truth of our existence within this Holy Trinity – a holy union between ourself (as part of God’s One Son), God and the Holy Spirit.  When “They have come,” is the moment we see the light of Christ within all our brethren.  We will know It is there, despite the bodies we may still see with our eyes.  It is the time of our realization of Oneness with all people and All Creation.  This is time’s purpose; to arrive at this state of awakened knowing.  We will at long last be aware of Who lives within us.  This state of mind is brought forward through our forgiveness; our overlooking of what we see now as separate from us.  And then the ancient hatred – the ancient seeing of separation – will pass.  And They will have come, at long last, into our full awareness of Unity.

 

X. The End of Injustice

 

            “What, then, remains to be undone for you to realize Their Presence?  Only this; you have a differential view of when attack is justified, and when you think it is unfair and not to be allowed.  When you perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger now is just.”  (1:1-3)

 

            “If it occurs at all it will be total.  And in its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their Presence.”  (1:6-7)

 

            “What does it mean if you perceive attack in certain forms to be unfair to you?”  (2:1)

 

            “Unfairness and attack are one mistake, so firmly joined that where one is perceived the other must be seen.  You cannot be unfairly treated.  The belief you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by someone not yourself.”  (3:1-3)

 

            “Beware the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated.”  (4:1)

 

            “You think your brother is unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to make the other innocent.”  (5:1)

 

            “The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known to you.”  (5:4)

 

            “And each unfairness that the world appears to lay upon you, you have laid on it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy Spirit sees.”  (5:7)

 

            “And so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile world.”  (6:3)

 

            “If you perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say:

 

By this do I deny the Presence of the Father and the Son.  And I would rather know of Them than see injustice, which Their Presence shines away.”  (6:5-7)

 

In summary, section 10: “The End of Injustice” is saying:

 

            When we feel the need to retaliate or act with anger towards anyone, we are reacting to their ego with ours.  We are not remembering the truth of Who They Are.  In this state of forgetting, we feel slighted, or unfairly treated by them, and then subsequently feel the need to “correct” their ego-based behavior with our own ego-based behavior.  This cycle is endless.  The only way out is to choose not to feel unfairly treated.  This will end the injustice of the ego.  For how can the ego be just to anyone, when all it sees is the illusion of bodies and what others say and do with them?  When you refuse to allow the ego to judge others, you allow the light of truth to shine on them instead.  Do not deny the presence of the Father and the Son – a Son with Whom you are a part – as well as everyone else.  Remind yourself that you would rather know of Their Presence within anyone your ego finds fault, and They will step forward and shine away all that your ego is using to hide the truth from you.  It will be the end of all forms of injustice.  Then our awareness can make the transition into God’s Love.

This concludes CHAPTER 26: THE TRANSITION
