1. Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a body. ²For beyond his dreams is his reality. ³But he must learn he is a savior first, before he can remember what he is. ⁴And he must save who would be saved. ⁵On saving you depends his happiness. ⁶For who is savior but the one who gives salvation? ⁷Thus he learns it must be his to give. ⁸Unless he gives he will not know he has, for giving is the proof of having. ⁹Only those who think that God is lessened by their strength could fail to understand this must be so. ¹⁰For who could give unless he has, and who could lose by giving what must be increased thereby?

2. Think you the Father lost Himself when He created you? ²Was He made weak because He shared His Love? ³Was He made incomplete by your perfection? ⁴Or are you the proof that He is perfect and complete? ⁵Deny Him not His witness in the dream His Son prefers to his reality. ⁶He must be savior from the dream he made, that he be free of it. ⁷He must see someone else as not a body, one with him without the wall the world has built to keep apart all living things who know not that they live.

3. Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth; no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light created in the dark, where God still shines. ²You cannot wake yourself. ³Yet you can let yourself be wakened. ⁴You can overlook your brother’s dreams. ⁵So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions he becomes your savior from your dreams. ⁶And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is. ⁷Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. ⁸The darkness cannot choose that it remain. ⁹The coming of the light means it is gone. ¹⁰In glory will you see your brother then, and understand what really fills the gap so long perceived as keeping you apart. ¹¹There, in its place, God’s witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God’s Son. ¹²Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions. ¹³By your gift of freedom is it given unto you.

4. Make way for love, which you did not create, but which you can extend. ²On earth this means forgive your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. ³When light has come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget his savior, leaving him unsaved. ⁴For it was in your face he saw the light that he would keep beside him, as he walks through darkness to the everlasting light.

5. How holy are you, that the Son of God can be your savior in the midst of dreams of desolation and disaster. ²See how eagerly he comes, and steps aside from heavy shadows that have hidden him, and shines on you in gratitude and love. ³He is himself, but not himself alone. ⁴And as his Father lost not part of him in your creation, so the light in him is brighter still because you gave your light to him, to save him from the dark. ⁵And now the light in you must be as bright as shines in him. ⁶This is the spark that shines within the dream; that you can help him waken, and be sure his waking eyes will rest on you. ⁷And in his glad salvation you are saved.
