6 These things await us all, but we are not prepared as yet to welcome them with joy. As long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of hell is real. God’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. The thought of murder is replaced with blessing. Judgment is laid by, and given Him Whose function judgment is. And in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard God’s Word and understood its meaning. He is free because he let God’s Voice proclaim the truth. And all he sought before to crucify are resurrected with him, by his side, as he prepares with them to meet his God.
I noted that Jesus said that as long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of hell is real. The reason that each and every person must be free is that we share the same mind, and so all thoughts belong to all of us. It’s the reason it is so silly to judge anyone or anything, because we are actually judging the visual representation of what is in our mind.
Again, I am reminded that salvation is not personal. It only seems that way because that is my focus, but we are one and so salvation is one, or it is not complete. When I am in my right mind I see each suffering person as representing my own suffering (because they are) and I want healing for that person. When I am in my wrong mind, I want to point the finger and make that person wrong instead of me.
When I hear someone say, “There but for the grace of God, goes me,” I think, “there I go” and ask the Holy Spirit to heal both the mind that thinks it suffers, and the mind that thinks that it is someone else who suffers. The resurrection occurs only as each and everyone of us, each part of the one mind, is awakened from the dream of separation. It is only when there is no separation thought in all of the mind that it is in perfect peace.
This understanding changes everything about the way I see others and my response to them. The word “others” doesn’t even make sense, but its hard to speak absolute truth in the world of shifting symbols so I’m not going to try. When I see someone tormented by their unquestioned thoughts I will not be able to see him as bad, or feel sorry for him, or think he needs to do something to get better. I will think that I need to heal that belief in the mind.
