Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand.
The knowledge that illuminates not only sets you free, but also shows you clearly that you are free.
Recognition of an idea as the truth of your identity is what freedom is. What is temptation but the belief that I have any thing to do with that recognition. It simply is given.
What is temptation but a wish to make the wrong decision on what you would learn, and have an outcome that you do not want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that becomes the means whereby the choice is reassessed; another outcome seen to be preferred.
You are deceived if you believe you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! Your answer is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the world you look upon.
