1. Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? ²He tells you but your will; He speaks for you. ³In His Divinity is but your own. ⁴And all He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will through Him. ⁵God asks you do your will. ⁶He joins with you. ⁷He did not set His Kingdom up alone. ⁸And Heaven itself but represents your will, where everything created is for you. ⁹No spark of life but was created with your glad consent, as you would have it be. ¹⁰And not one Thought that God has ever had but waited for your blessing to be born. ¹¹God is no enemy to you. ¹²He asks no more than that He hear you call Him “Friend.”

2. How wonderful it is to do your will! ²For that is freedom. ³There is nothing else that ever should be called by freedom’s name. ⁴Unless you do your will you are not free. ⁵And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself? ⁶God but ensured that you would never lose your will when He gave you His perfect Answer. ⁷Hear It now, that you may be reminded of His Love and learn your will. ⁸God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not want. ⁹He joins with you in willing you be free. ¹⁰And to oppose Him is to make a choice against yourself, and choose that you be bound.

3. Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of love. ²For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established there. ³Now hear God speak to you, through Him Who is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. ⁴Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. ⁵What lies in you has joined with God Himself in all creation’s birth. ⁶Remember Him Who has created you, and through your will created everything. ⁷Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born. ⁸No light of Heaven shines except for you, for it was set in Heaven by your will.

4. What cause have you for anger in a world that merely waits your blessing to be free? ²If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be free. ³For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God Himself. ⁴Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator of the universe along with Him. ⁵He would but keep your will forever and forever limitless. ⁶This world awaits the freedom you will give when you have recognized that you are free. ⁷But you will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your will to you. ⁸For it is by your will the world is given freedom. ⁹Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy Will you share.

5. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by your own salvation is it healed. ²And no one walks upon the earth but must depend on your decision, that he learn death has no power over him, because he shares your freedom as he shares your will. ³It is your will to heal him, and because you have decided with him, he is healed. ⁴And now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your brother as a friend.
