Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the world's purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery, and the glad awareness of the Holy Spirit's final dream. It is the recognition of the gifts of God. It is the dream in which the body functions perfectly, having no function except communication. It is the lesson in which learning ends, for it is consummated and surpassed with this. It is the invitation to God to take His final step. It is the relinquishment of all other purposes, all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. It is the single desire of the Son for the Father.
The resurrection is the denial of death, being the assertion of life. Thus
is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life is now recognized as
salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell. Love is no longer
feared, but gladly welcomed. Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of God
shines unimpeded across the world. Christ's face is seen in every living thing,
and nothing is held in darkness, apart from the light of forgiveness. There is
no sorrow still upon the earth. The joy of Heaven has come upon it.
Here the curriculum ends. From here on, no directions are needed. Vision is
wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless and peace has
come. The goal of the curriculum has been achieved. Thoughts turn to Heaven and
away from hell. All longings are satisfied, for what remains unanswered or
incomplete? The last illusion spreads across the world, forgiving all things
and replacing all attack. The whole reversal is accomplished. Nothing is left
to contradict the Word of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And now the
truth can come at last. How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and
envelop such a world!
All living hearts are tranquil with a stir of deep anticipation, for the
time of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no death. The Son of God is
free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places now remain on
earth to shelter sick illusions, dreams of fear and misperceptions of the
universe. All things are seen in light, and in the light their purpose is
transformed and understood. And we, God's children, rise up from the dust and
look upon our perfect sinlessness. The song of Heaven sounds around the world,
as it is lifted up and brought to truth.
Now there are no distinctions. Differences have disappeared and Love looks
on Itself. What further sight is needed? What remains that vision could
accomplish? We have seen the face of Christ, His sinlessness, His Love behind
all forms, beyond all purposes. Holy are we because His Holiness has set us
free indeed! And we accept His Holiness as ours; as it is. As God created us so
will we be forever and forever, and we wish for nothing but His Will to be our
own. Illusions of another will are lost, for unity of purpose has been found.
These things await us all, but we are not prepared as yet to welcome them
with joy. As long as any mind remains possessed of evil dreams, the thought of
hell is real. God's teachers have the goal of wakening the minds of those
asleep, and seeing there the vision of Christ's face to take the place of what
they dream. The thought of murder is replaced with blessing. Judgment is laid
by, and given Him Whose function judgment is. And in His Final Judgment is
restored the truth about the holy Son of God. He is redeemed, for he has heard
God's Word and understood its meaning. He is free because he let God's Voice
proclaim the truth. And all he sought before to crucify are resurrected with
him, by his side, as he prepares with them to meet his God.
