1. Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. 2It is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world. 3It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of the world’s purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. 4It is the end of dreams of misery, and the glad awareness of the Holy Spirit’s final dream. 5It is the recognition of the gifts of God. 6It is the dream in which the body functions perfectly, having no function except communication. 7It is the lesson in which learning ends, for it is consummated and surpassed with this. 8It is the invitation to God to take His final step. 9It is the relinquishment of all other purposes, all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. 10It is the single desire of the Son for the Father.
2. The resurrection is the denial of death, being the assertion of life. 2Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. 3Life is now recognized as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell. 4Love is no longer feared, but gladly welcomed. 5Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the world. 6Christ’s face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in darkness, apart from the light of forgiveness. 7There is no sorrow still upon the earth. 8The joy of Heaven has come upon it.
3. Here the curriculum ends. 2From here on, no directions are needed. 3Vision is wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. 4Attack is meaningless and peace has come. 5The goal of the curriculum has been achieved. 6Thoughts turn to Heaven and away from hell. 7All longings are satisfied, for what remains unanswered or incomplete? 8The last illusion spreads across the world, forgiving all things and replacing all attack. 9The whole reversal is accomplished. 10Nothing is left to contradict the Word of God. 11There is no opposition to the truth. 12And now the truth can come at last. 13How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and envelop such a world!
4. All living hearts are tranquil with a stir of deep anticipation, for the time of everlasting things is now at hand. 2There is no death. 3The Son of God is free. 4And in his freedom is the end of fear. 5No hidden places now remain on earth to shelter sick illusions, dreams of fear and misperceptions of the universe. 6All things are seen in light, and in the light their purpose is transformed and understood. 7And we, God’s children, rise up from the dust and look upon our perfect sinlessness. 8The song of Heaven sounds around the world, as it is lifted up and brought to truth.
5. Now there are no distinctions. 2Differences have disappeared and Love looks on Itself. 3What further sight is needed? 4What remains that vision could accomplish? 5We have seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His Love behind all forms, beyond all purposes. 6Holy are we because His Holiness has set us free indeed! 7And we accept His Holiness as ours; as it is. 8As God created us so will we be forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our own. 9Illusions of another will are lost, for unity of purpose has been found.
6. These things await us all, but we are not prepared as yet to welcome them with joy. 2As long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of hell is real. 3God’s teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those asleep, and seeing there the vision of Christ’s face to take the place of what they dream. 4The thought of murder is replaced with blessing. 5Judgment is laid by, and given Him Whose function judgment is. 6And in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy Son of God. 7He is redeemed, for he has heard God’s Word and understood its meaning. 8He is free because he let God’s Voice proclaim the truth. 9And all he sought before to crucify are resurrected with him, by his side, as he prepares with them to meet his God.
