"This course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly
true or wholly false, and cannot be but partially believed. And you
will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will tell
you that there is no middle ground where you can pause uncertainly,
waiting to choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell.
Until you choose Heaven, you *are* in hell and misery.

There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor
is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. A savior cannot be a
judge, nor mercy condemnation. And vision cannot damn, but only bless.
Whose function is to save, will save. *How* he will do it is beyond
your understanding, but *when* must be your choice. For time you made,
and time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the
world you made."

"Remember that you learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It
is because I learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but
teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby
littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the
glad awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth in you is your
awakening to grandeur. Welcome me not into a manger, but into the altar
to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not
of this world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us
join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness."

"Decide with me, who has decided to abide with you. I will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with itself. You will be content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. What my Father loves I love as He does, and I can no more accept it as what it is not, than He can. And no more can you. When you have learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourself, for you will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God needs not seek to find anything.
If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for His. Rather, join with me in His, that we may release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will you remember it.
Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would have your brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his appeal to hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. God's power is forever on the side of His host, for it protects only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not littleness before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even to Heaven, because of what is given it.
