Your Responsibility to Yourself

There is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one which you must learn to remember ALL the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it, when you realize that it is true, and constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought AND FOUND littleness, remember this: Every decision that you make stems from WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE, and represents the value that you PUT upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and, by LIMITING yourself, you will NOT be satisfied. For your function is NOT little, and it is only by finding your function, and fulfilling it that you can ESCAPE from littleness.

There is no doubt about what your function IS, for the Holy Spirit KNOWS what it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude, for it reaches you through Him, FROM Magnitude. You do not have to strive for it, because you HAVE it. All your striving must be directed AGAINST LITTLENESS, for it DOES require vigilance to protect your magnitude in this world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness, in a world of littleness, is a task the little cannot undertake. Yet it is asked of you, in tribute to your magnitude, and NOT your littleness. Nor is it asked of you alone.

Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course. Peace is.

The goal of the curriculum, regardless of the teacher you choose, is “Know Thyself.” There is nothing else to seek.

The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The ego does not know what it is trying to teach. It is trying to teach you what you are without knowing what you are.

The Holy Spirit teaches you that if you look only at yourself you cannot find yourself, because that is not what you are. The Holy Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you.

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. You can encounter only part of yourself because you are part of God, Who is everything. His power and glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from them.

Your power and glory are in your brother, because they are yours.  As you see your brother, you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will either find yourself or lose yourself. Whenever you are with anyone, you are learning what you are because you are teaching what you are. Never forget your responsibility to your brother, because it is your responsibility to yourself.

Give him his place in the Kingdom and you will have yours. You cannot be powerless to do this, because this is your power.

When you acknowledge this you bring the acknowledgment automatically to everyone, because you have acknowledged everyone. By your recognition you awaken theirs, and through theirs yours is extended. 

It’s time for you. The Spirit carried you here.

You are free to perceive yourself as persecuted if you choose, but you must be equating yourself with the destructible...

You have probably reacted for years as if you were being crucified. This is a marked tendency of the separated, who always refuse to consider what they have done to themselves. If you react as if you are persecuted, you must be equating yourself with the destructible, and are therefore regarding yourself insanely. The truth in you cannot BE assailed. Do not try to protect it yourself, or you are believing that it is assailable. 

You are free to perceive yourself as persecuted if you choose. When you do choose to react that way, however, you might remember that I was persecuted as the world judges, and I did not share this evaluation for myself. And because I did not share it, I did not strengthen it. I therefore offered a different interpretation on attack, and one which I want to share with you. If you will believe it, you will help Me teach it.

Assault can ultimately be made only on the body. There is little doubt that one body can assault another, and can even destroy it. But I elected, for your sake and mine, to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault, as judged by the world, does not matter. As the world judges these things, I was betrayed, abandoned, beaten, torn, and finally killed. But the message the crucifixion intended to teach was, Teach only Love, for that is what you are.

The message of the crucifixion is perfectly clear, although the Apostles often misunderstood it, and for the same reason that anyone misunderstands it. If the Apostles had really understood Me, they would not have described my reactions to Judas as they did. I could not have said, “Betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?” unless I believed in betrayal. The whole message of the crucifixion was simply that I did not. Was it likely that I would condemn him when I was ready to demonstrate that condemnation is impossible? Judas was my brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself.

You will not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of God’s Son, and have taken the last thorn from his forehead. You have nailed yourself to a cross, and placed a crown of thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God’s Son, or assign to death whom God has given eternal life. The Love of God surrounds His Son whom the god of crucifixion condemns. That is why you must teach only one lesson. If you are to be conflict-free yourself, you must learn you are only love. When you deny this, you make what you are something you must learn to remember.

You are not asked to be crucified, which was part of my own teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow my example in the face of much less extreme temptations to misperceive, and not to accept them as false justifications for anger.

The dream of crucifixion still lies heavy on your eyes, but what you see in dreams is not reality. While you perceive the Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as your believe you can crucify him, you are only having nightmares.

Would you join in the resurrection or the crucifixion? Would you condemn your brothers or set them free? Would you transcend your prison and ascend to the Father? These questions are all the same, and are answered together.

The world IS a picture of the crucifixion of God’s Son. And until you realize that God’s Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see.
