The Savior from the Dark 

Is it not evident that what the body’s eyes perceive fills you with fear? The only value that the past can hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards which you would want to keep.

 

Is it not strange that you should cherish still some hope of satisfaction from the world you see? One thing is sure; the way you see, and have seen, gives no support to base your future hopes, and no suggestions of success at all. To place your hopes where no hope lies must make you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your choice, while you would seek for hope where none is ever found.

 

Can it make sense to hold the fixed belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit of what has always failed, on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought before?

 

Its past has failed. Be glad that it is gone within your mind. Take not the form for content, for the form is but a means of content. The frame is but a means to hold the picture up, so that it can be seen. Without the picture the frame is without meaning. Its purpose is to set the picture off, and not itself.

 

Who hangs an empty frame upon a wall and stands before it, deep in reverence, as if a masterpiece were there to see? But if you see your brother as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set within this frame is all there is to see. What God has created needs no frame, for what He has created He supports and frames within Himself. His masterpiece He offers you to see. Would you rather see the frame instead of this? And see the picture not at all?

 

You do no make the frame into the picture when you choose to see it in its place. The frame that God has given it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate purpose that obscures the picture, and cherishes the frame instead of it. God has set His masterpiece within a frame that will endure forever, when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you not the picture is destroyed in any way. What God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and perfect in eternity.

 

Accept God’s frame instead of yours. And you will see the masterpiece. Its holinesss lights up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides, and casts a veil of light across the picture’s face which but reflects the light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of death.

 

Within the darkness see the savior from the dark, and understand your brother as his Father’s Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see the dark no more. However much your brother overlooks the masterpiece in him and sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your only function to behold in him what he sees not.

 

God cherishes creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who will to make their Father’s happiness complete, and theirs along with His. The gratitude of God Himself is freely offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His Will to be alone. And neither is it yours.

 

Give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His Will and yours, which but extends His Will. It was for this you were created, and your brother with you and at one with you.
