37 When we are all united in Heaven, you will value
nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value here you value wholly, and so you do not value it at all. Value is where God placed it, and the value of what God esteems cannot
be judged, for it has been
established. It is
wholly of value. It can merely be appreciated or not. To value it partially is not to
know its value. In Heaven is everything God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear and bright and calls forth
one response. There is no darkness, and there is no contrast. There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is.
38 Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is
capable of being wholly shared. It can also show you the
results of sharing while you still remember the results of
not sharing. The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which
must be true. He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He will make it
for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of God?
39 You whose minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is
impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's will
is done. You
will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you.
40 You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you will find the answer that makes the need for
any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own will unto its own. When you have learned that you
belong to truth, it will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want, and
only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in
nothing.
41 Have faith in only this one thing, and it will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep
you from it or
it from you. Your wildest misperceptions, your weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean nothing. They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is
not the Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not keep what God would have removed, because it breaks communication with you with whom He would communicate. His voice
will be heard.
42 The Communication Link which God Himself placed within you, joining your minds with His,
cannot be broken. You may believe you
want it broken, and this belief
does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and constant communication which God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will
is peace. You have it
now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to
use it and, by projecting it, to learn that it is in you.
43 God willed you Heaven and will
always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows
only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you will learn
how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He
will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light surrounds him.
44 Can God's Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed
within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate
himself from what is
in him. His sleep will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It
is so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as
your will to know it.
45 The Holy Spirit cannot fail to undo
for you everything you have learned that teaches you what is not true must be reconciled with truth. This is the reconciliation which the ego would substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto peace. The Holy Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His Mind for you, and one which He
will effect as surely as the ego will
not effect what it attempts.
46 Failure is of the ego,
not of God. From Him you
cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation
of everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You
will be released, and you will not remember anything you made that was not created
for you and
by you in return. For how can you remember what was
never true or
not remember what has always been? It is this reconciliation with truth, and
only truth, in which the peace of Heaven lies.
