1. All healing is release from the past. 2That is why the Holy Spirit is the only Healer. 3He teaches that the past does not exist, a fact which belongs to the sphere of knowledge, and which therefore no one in the world can know. 4It would indeed be impossible to be in the world with this knowledge. 5For the mind that knows this unequivocally knows also it dwells in eternity, and utilizes no perception at all. 6It therefore does not consider where it is, because the concept “where” does not mean anything to it. 7It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has everything, and forever.
2. The very real difference between perception and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial about knowledge. 2Every aspect is whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. 3You are an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. 4All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all knowledge. 5Perception, at its loftiest, is never complete. 6Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. 7Perception can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds everything in light. 8Yet no perception, however holy, will last forever.
3. Perfect perception, then, has many elements in common with knowledge, making transfer to it possible. 2Yet the last step must be taken by God, because the last step in your redemption, which seems to be in the future, was accomplished by God in your creation. 3The separation has not interrupted it. 4Creation cannot be interrupted. 5The separation is merely a faulty formulation of reality, with no effect at all. 6The miracle, without a function in Heaven, is needful here. 7Aspects of reality can still be seen, and they will replace aspects of unreality. 8Aspects of reality can be seen in everything and everywhere. 9Yet only God can gather them together, by crowning them as one with the final gift of eternity.
4. Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. 2He is not separate from Either, being in the Mind of Both, and knowing that Mind is One. 3He is a Thought of God, and God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not share. 4His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ’s vision looks on everything with love. 5Yet even Christ’s vision is not His reality. 6The golden aspects of reality that spring to light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that lies beyond them.
5. This is the miracle of creation; that it is one forever. 2Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole. 3Though every aspect is the whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the same light and therefore one. 4Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness, and enabling the world to see. 5For light must come into the darkened world to make Christ’s vision possible even here. 6Help Him to give His gift of light to all who think they wander in the darkness, and let Him gather them into His quiet sight that makes them one.
6. They are all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. 2And He will offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. 3There is one miracle, as there is one reality. 4And every miracle you do contains them all, as every aspect of reality you see blends quietly into the one reality of God. 5The only miracle that ever was is God’s most holy Son, created in the one reality that is his Father. 6Christ’s vision is His gift to you. 7His Being is His Father’s gift to Him.
7. Be you content with healing, for Christ’s gift you can bestow, and your Father’s gift you cannot lose. 2Offer Christ’s gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles, offered the Son of God through the Holy Spirit, attune you to reality. 3The Holy Spirit knows your part in the redemption, and who are seeking you and where to find them. 4Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. 5You who are part of it and all of it need only realize that it is of the Father, not of you. 6Your role in the redemption leads you to it by re-establishing its oneness in your mind.
8. When you have seen your brothers as yourself you will be released to knowledge, having learned to free yourself through Him Who knows of freedom. 2Unite with me under the holy banner of His teaching, and as we grow in strength the power of God’s Son will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. 3And suddenly time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. 4The holy light you saw outside yourself, in every miracle you offered to your brothers, will be returned to you. 5And knowing that the light is in you, your creations will be there with you, as you are in your Father.
9. As miracles in this world join you to your brothers, so do your creations establish your fatherhood in Heaven. 2You are the witness to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the power to create the witnesses to yours, which is as His. 3Deny a brother here, and you deny the witnesses to your fatherhood in Heaven. 4The miracle that God created is perfect, as are the miracles that you established in His Name. 5They need no healing, nor do you, when you accept them.
10. Yet in this world your perfection is unwitnessed. 2God knows it, but you do not, and so you do not share His witness to it. 3Nor do you witness unto Him, for reality is witnessed to as one. 4God waits your witness to His Son and to Himself. 5The miracles you do on earth are lifted up to Heaven and to Him. 6They witness to what you do not know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God will open them. 7For never would He leave His Own beloved Son outside them, and beyond Himself.
