VIII. From Perception to Knowledge, P 9

9 As miracles in this world join you to your brothers, so do your creations establish your fatherhood in Heaven. You are the witnesses to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the power to create the witnesses to yours, which is as His. Deny a brother here, and you deny the witnesses to your fatherhood in Heaven. The miracle that God created is perfect, as are the miracles that you established in His Name. They need no healing, nor do you, when you accept them.

Journal

I understand that miracles in the world join me to my brothers. I think of this as happening on two levels. I forgive in my mind and from that pure place of love I project love. In the world this appears as a miracle in form. Maybe the person who I didn’t like and who didn’t like me suddenly becomes friendly and kind. Maybe the sickness I believed in until I forgave the idea, in the world disappears. However the miracle appears, it creates a sense of oneness, of unity with my brothers and sisters. It may appear as form in the world, or maybe not, but the joining has occurred.

What I don’t really get is the part about my creations. I do understand that we as the Son of God are witness to His Fatherhood. That makes sense. I have children in this world and they are witnesses to my motherhood. They prove I am a mother. So we prove that God is Father. Then I get to the part that confuses me. God gave me the power to create my own witnesses. He does not mean that I can have children in the world because that is not creation; that is making.

So what are my creations? The reason that I have trouble with this is that I cannot envision formlessness.  And because if creation is extension, then I would create more of me and I don’t have a handle on me, either. There is still too much identity with ego. Or at least while I don’t fully identify with ego anymore, I don’t have an image with which to replace it. I guess what I mean is that I don’t remember anything but form so what I am feels alien and impossible to grasp. So the idea of my creations is intriguing, but not tangible. It is something I take on faith.

Now here is where I get really confused. “Deny a brother here, and you deny the witnesses to your fatherhood in Heaven.” I think he must mean that my brothers here are all, as one, the Sonship, and if any are denied we are not whole. Our creations exist as witness to the Sonship as it exists, whole and complete, so if it is not whole and complete, it is not the Sonship that created them. Of course it was done, and we are whole, but when we deny any part of our Self, we also deny our creations. Well that is being untangled in my mind a bit. Maybe this is why I have no memory or concept of my creations. I still deny my brothers and so I have lost the awareness of my creations.

And then he says: “The miracle that God created is perfect, as are the miracles that you established in His Name. They need no healing, nor do you, when you accept them.” We are the miracle that God created and we are perfect, and our creations that we established in His Name are perfect also. We do not need healing, but only acceptance of what we are and what our brothers are. If we are ever able to accept our true identity, we must accept that our identity is whole and that means none are denied.

There are none I can push away and say that one is not me. I test my resistance as I open my arms and invite in different people, the pedophile, the racist, the murderer, the cruel and the hateful. Do I feel any resistance? How about making it personal? The coworker who seems intent on making my job hard, Trump who seems to be so different from me? Can I accept them both as me, part of the Sonship that I am?

When I accept all my brothers, I accept my creations and I accept our Creator. There is in my mind, a memory of my creations and a memory of God. I long for that memory to be in my awareness, so I am willing to allow the healing that will bring me to that memory, at least as much as is possible here, and completely when I am with my Father again. I do this as I forgive all thoughts that separate me from my brothers.
