We always are free to choose. We are also free to choose again if what we chose does not work for us. Do we want freedom of the body or of the mind? We cannot have both. Which do we value? Which is our goal? One we see as means; the other, we see as end. Also, of body and mind, one must serve the other and lead to its predominance, increasing its importance by diminishing the importance of the other. Means always serve the end, and as the end is reached the value of the means decreases, eclipsed entirely when they are recognized as having no function. We all yearn for freedom and try to find it. We will seek for it where we believe it is and can be found. We will believe it possible of mind or body, and we will make the other serve our choice as means to find it. Our ultimate choice is between the body – separation – and the mind – Oneness. Our choice indicates what we value – at least for the moment.
When we choose freedom of the body – or separation – we relegate the mind to serving and supporting the belief in separation. One might also call this serving the belief in sin. This is a situation so contradictory and so impossible that anyone who chooses this has no idea of what is valuable. It is utter insanity since it supports a belief in unreality. But even in the face of utter insanity, Spirit patiently and gently waits, sure we will eventually make the only real choice. For Spirit knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to Oneness as love is to itself. Spirit’s vigilance on our behalf never waivers, even as our own vigilance waivers.
Spirit easily changes the roles of means and end once we dicide to allow Spirit to guide our mind, making the freedom of our mind the end and using the body as a means to that end. To serve this end, the body must be perceived as sinless, because the goal is sinlessness. The lack of contradiction makes the soft transition from means to end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude before forgiving eyes. In this transition our relationship with another becomes holy, serving to heal both our minds in the reawakening of the awareness of our Oneness.
This holy relationship, lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and blazing with a light far brighter than the sun that lights the sky you see, is chosen of your Creator as a means for Your Creator’s Own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all. Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all pain, regardless of its form. Neither you nor your friend alone can serve at all. Only in your joint will does healing lie. For here your healing is, and here will you accept At-One-ment. And in your healing is Oneness healed because your will and your friend’s are joined. T-22.VI.4:1-8
The return to the awareness that our relationship with another is holy and always has been brings the return of the awareness of the light within all of us to our minds. The ancient song of Peace echoes in our minds as it always has, but went unheard for a time while we denied it. We now rest again in Oneness as peace of mind wells up again in our consciousness.
Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love, looks quietly on all confusion, observing merely, “This was a mistake.” And then the same At-One-ment you accepted in your relationship corrects the error, and lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the eternal light you bring, shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no fear because they carry only love with them. T-22.VI.5:1-7
As we allow Spirit to gently guide the redefining of means and end to our mind, open your mind’s eye to the light within each One and see them and yourself sinless once again. Look beyond the appearance of sinfulness to the reality of sinlessness. See that you are surrounded by the peace and love of Heaven. Bask in It’s healing love and rest in your return to the awareness of who you really are. We are Peace unlimited.
