The Answer

         In darkness you have wandered through the world, seeking an answer where none could be found. The search has been most wearisome, and there were moments when you thought you lost your way. The Answer that you have is what you are, and in that Knowledge does your being rest, abiding in the calm of certainty. A miracle of grace is given you today, that through your hands the world may come to know the healing power of God’s Love. It is not He who caused your suffering. The only thing He Wills is your release. His Answer is not recognized while still you heed your own, in hopes that it may yet accomplish the impossible, although all past attempts to pull this off have failed.

         Hear not the ego's raving madness now, and turn in peace unto the Word of God. This Word cannot be written on a page, nor could all books of earth transmit its Truth. In silence hear it speak to you of Love, and Peace, and all the Joy you sought to find in meaningless pursuits that end in death. Swear not to die, you holy Son of God, but hearken now unto the Word of Life that shines eternal in your Godlike mind. You do not listen for yourself alone. God needs your listening, for as you hear, His Answer will be echoed round the world. He needs your voice; he needs your hands and feet, but most of all he needs your listening.

Your brother needs you also; hear him call in plaintive tones asking but for your help. Why should you hesitate to take his hand, in need as he most obviously is? He calls for love to you who can supply the love he thinks he lacks within the dream of separation, death, and scarcity. You are the savior in his dream and he is savior in your own, as you allow God’s healing Presence to embrace you both. While you withhold your lilies, both of you remain in hell, absorbed in fantasies of sickness that your wrong minds seem to share. And yet you are alone within the dream without a strong protector by your side as both he and yourself defend the dream of specialness with guile and with strife.

Out of this bleak arena of despair, where vicious animals seek out their prey, Christ beckons unto you and gently says,  “My brother, choose again what you would have.” If you desire peace, share it. If you would welcome love into your heart, see it as emanating from your brother’s. If you want forgiveness, offer it to him. For as you give, you shall receive in kind. The Father is awaiting our return, so let us rise in haste today and find the Answer that replaces not the dream with yet another, but is end to all of them. Brother, awaken and be glad. The night is over; now the light has come.
