OrEd-T-22.2-Message of Holy Relation.2

11. Our holy relationship is like a baby now, so recently reborn from an unholy relationship, and yet more ancient than the old illusion that it replaced. Yet, in the infant, my vision is returned to me, and he will speak the language both of us can understand. He is not nurtured by the "something else" I thought was me. He was not given, nor received by anything except myself. Instead of separate, in each holy relationship the ability to communicate is reborn. For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose vision sees them as one.

12. We will think with Jesus, our holy brother, what is given us. This child will teach us what we do not understand and make it plain. For his will is no alien tongue. He will need no interpreter to us, for it was we who taught him what he knows, because we knew it. He could not come to anyone but us, never to "something else." Where Christ has entered, no one is alone, for He could never find a home in separate ones. Yet, He must be reborn into His ancient home, so seeming new and yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the holiness of our relationship to let Him live.

13. We will be certain God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy. Only what is part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can join. Communication must have been restored to those that join, for they could not do this through the bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason will tell us that they must have seen each other through a vision not of the body, and communicated in a language the body does not speak. It was not a fearful sight or sound that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the other saw a perfect shelter where his Self could be reborn, in safety and in peace. This his reason told him, and he believed, because it was the truth.

14. Here is the first direct perception that we have made. We made it through awareness older than perception, and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is time to what was always true? I will think what that instant brought, the recognition that the "something else" I thought was myself is an illusion. And truth came instantly to show me where my Self must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Love enters thankfully into the holy home where fear is powerless. We are grateful that love is one with us, who are joined to let love enter.

15. Christ comes to what is like Himself, the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. A holy relationship is like Him. And what draws us together, draws Him to us. His sweetness and His gentle innocence are protected here from attack. He can return in confidence, for faith in one another is always faith in Him. We are correct in looking on each other as Christ's chosen home, for here we WILL with Him and with His Father. This is our Father's Will for us, and our will is like His. Who is drawn to Christ, is drawn to God, as surely as They are drawn to every holy relationship. This is the home prepared for Them, as earth is turned to Heaven.
