God offers only mercy.Yes, you do, by inventing the dream in which you can pause and ponder until you once again find the willingness to look at your brothers as they are without specialness or partiality. Your words should reflect only mercy because that is what you have received and that is what you should give. Yes, mercy is the entire dream, and yet the dream has its value because of truth being evenly distributed throughout it because of its transparent nature. Thus, since you have attempted to give yourself this dream, as mercy, it behooves you to utilize that value you placed there by looking through (beyond) it to the loving presence of yourself in all as all everywhere. The value arising from the dream as mercy can be noticed, and the vision it offers you as alignment wrought from looking beyond the dream, is what you must share. For such sharing further offers your williingness to all, to see them and yourself as that truth makes clear.
T3.VI.6.1-2
You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brothers totally without judgment, nor will you until you look at spirit wholly, relaxing your ideas and imagery and protecting it not, allowing your vision to expand in all directions forever.
T3.VI.3.1
If you attack error in another you will hurt yourself. Error is not looking at spirit wholly. Thus, one cannot attack error, for it is not a thing to be attacked...and attack is impossible. However, if you believe you can and have attacked others, error, behavioral imagery judged evil or good...you will reinforce and multiply that belief, bringing forth false feelings of pain and suffering and also false feelings of relief, false love as bliss, romance and deeds-oriented false self-esteem. Error is not in another any more than it is in you...and yet, your belief that you have split your mind, split your attention, split your reality...away from the wholeness truth would show you by spirit's radiance within...will evidence itself perceptually all around you until the required curriculum of looking wholly at spirit is willingly engaged.
T3.III.7.1
Innocence is not a partial attribute. Absolutely....innocence, like forgiveness, is but a word attempting to illustrate that all partial judgment is false.
T3.II.2.1
The best defense, as always, is not to attack another's position, but rather to protect the truth. When one speaks contrary to what others say, this is not attacking their position, it is illuminating truth in whatever degree that intellectual view has to offer (or not). Their true "position" is heaven. Protecting the truth is a rather odd way of talking about what one does with truth. Knowledge needs no protection, and truth only points to knowledge, and that pointing will seem to be in steps and degrees within perception's eye. Truth needs no protection, and yet, as you look to spirit and spirit thus aligns your mind, simultaneously aligning whatever perceptions and beliefs you have to the extent you willingly allow...that looking will become a blessing to you in your perceptions, and will provide you with an unspoken confidence and happiness at noticing it is there available to you. Cherish the truth and rejoice in it. Share it freely with all. In a round about sense, this is protecting it by reinforcing it and sharing it.
T3.I.2.1
Charity is a way of looking at another as if he had already gone far beyond his actual accomplishments in time, because there are no accomplishments in time, actual or otherwise. Charity would be better understood if it were spelled "sharity".
T2.V.10.1
Spiritual vision literally cannot see error, and merely looks for Atonement. The apparent purpose of this passage is wonderfully true; however, it is stated poorly. "Spiritual" is that which is "about" spirit...and whatever is about spirit is unreal...for only spirit itself is real. True vision cannot see error because there is no error per se, and it is because of vision thus not being split, that your creation is saved forever and available to rediscover. "Atonement" is the illusory process of noticing changes of idol erasures, culminating in the disappearance of the dream and collapsing of the time thought necessary for the dream. The point of atonement is what it thus points toward, setting aside (or forgiving) the dream, to look beyond it to that reality of spirit the mind is seemingly being atoned toward. So, spirit does not look at error, but always looks at itself...and this consistent, constant sharing with itself throughout all that is, is the substance of love and the activity of creation. Spirit cannot look at atonement, for atonement is but a symptom of the so-called error (or seemingly judged vision or perception)...which means that atonement as symptom, never truly arose into vision, any more than the error is real. Your vision is whole now, and you can reestablish your willingness to look upon what it sees by looking at what it sees. This is called looking with the holy spirit, and is actually looking at the holy spirit because there simply is nothing else you could ever see, despite your invented dream visions.
T2.III.4.1
The Atonement is a total commitment. The atonement is the seeming process of forgiving the dream, correctly characterized as the result in vision of willingly looking at your brother and thus seeing your brother...removing denial as beliefs from its throne. Commitment is a fear-based practice, for no one knowing their wholeness or freedom would ever make an oath or commitment, nor would they strive to accomplish what is already finished in heaven (in themselves). Commitment is what one would attempt to do through agreements with self or others, in order to gain more than what would otherwise be gained without commitment. Commitment has two primary corrolaries...compromise and sacrifice. The world built by the egoic ideation relies heavily upon these three...commitment, compromise and sacrifice. However, none of these exist in heaven, and thus they do not exist anywhere, for heaven is all there is. Despite that commentary, these do have a single value...and that is the same value as the rest of the dream...proving to you that they do not really work, and do not lead to heaven. In that sense and that sense (as precursors that must be shed) only are they assistive to you in atonement. This precursor nature of dreamside activities is often seen in such ideas as tithe, to present some idea of the requirement of giving and receiving as related to that giving...nevertheless, tithing itself is a false and incomplete idea.
T2.II.7.1
The way to recognize your brother is by recognizing the Holy Spirit in him. Absolutely...and the way to recognize the holy spirit in your brother is to look at the holy spirit instead of what you have always called your brother. The place easiest to look at the holy spirit is within your own self, where all your brothers together reside.
T5.II.1.1
Sometimes the most difficult action to take, is the decision to take no action.
Nothing is often a very clever thing to say, and the best thing to do.
Action as defined by thinking in the dream is impossible.
Recognition of that fact is part of forgiveness.
Nothing is what all saying things is...clever or not.
Nothing is what all doing is...regardless of any judgment that it is best.
