…give the Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed completely that you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate our release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave nothing behind, for release is total, and when you have accepted it with me you will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without sacrifice there love must be.
You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the condition for the awareness of your relationship with God.
As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived.
Say to your brother:
I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself.
I know that you will be released, unless I want to use you to imprison myself.
In the name of my freedom I choose your release, because I recognize that we will be released together. (T-15.XI.3;4:1-3;5:1;10:4-7)
When we believe the body is our identity, we have chosen limitation and lack and denied the eternal, infinite and unlimited Love that we are. We sacrifice reality and choose illusionary substitutes instead. This choice leaves us feeling incomplete and searching for our completion. But the truth in us is already complete. We only need to let go of our belief that we have separated from the Love that created us and that remains our Reality.
When we look upon a brother as a body, we are demanding of him the same sacrifice we have demanded of ourselves. We are using this image of our brother to confirm the image we believe about ourselves to make separation appear real.
The truth is that in the oneness of Love, every brother is part of us. As we practice giving all our perceptions of our brother and the world to the Holy Spirit, He will teach us to see with Christ’s vision. The awareness of the innocence of Christ will be reborn and we will be set free from the mistaken belief that we are limited and separate. Our relationship with our brother and our Father will be restored to the Reality of Heaven.
