THE  GREAT  AWAKENING

PART II

CHAPTER 10

Reason cannot see sin, but can see errors, and leads to their correction.  It does not value them, but their correction.  The introduction of Reason into your thought system is the beginning of its undoing, for Reason's goal is to make plain, and therefore obvious.  You can see Reason.  This is not a play on words, for here is the beginning of a Vision that has meaning.  Vision is sense, quite literally.  If it is not the body's sight, it must be understood.  For it is plain, and what is obvious is not ambiguous.  It can be understood.

Accept your sense of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who you are, and prepare you now for the undoing of what never was.  Reason is a Force that no illusions can resist, and corrected error is the error's end.  The ability to see a logical outcome depends on the willingness to see it, but its Truth has nothing to do with your willingness.  God is everywhere, and His Son is with Him in everything.  Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when this is True?  It is guilt that has obscured God to you, and where can guilt be when belief in sin is gone?  No one can keep a belief he has judged to be unbelievable.  You will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound.

The end of dreaming is the end of fear.  Fear lies not in Reality, but in the minds of children who do not understand Reality.  It is only their lack of understanding that frightens them.  Fear is a symptom of your own deep sense of loss.  Yet nothing that is good can be lost, and nothing that is not good was ever created.  All loss comes only from your own misunderstanding.  Loss of any kind is impossible.  Fear is a judgment never justified.  Illusions are but forms, their content is never true.  Darkness has no power over the Son of God.  What God did not give you has no power over you, and what cannot happen can have no effects to fear.

You are not free to give up Reality, only to deny it.  Reality cannot be undone.  Undoing is for unreality.  Truth corrects error merely by being what it is, just as darkness disappears in Light.  Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to everyone and everything.  There is no greater Love than to accept this and be glad.   Let us resolve to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real, and that Reality is not disaster.  Nothing created not by your Creator has any influence over you.  And thus has God protected still His Son, even in error.  The eyes of the blind will be opened, for they have not lost their Vision, but merely sleep.
