Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them
but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we
seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes
our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our
lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in sin,
which made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying,
dangerous in all its ways and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and
the escape from pain.

His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His
way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God
Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be far off. And yet,
in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in
the way to go. Let us together follow in this way that truth points out
to us. And let us be the leaders of our many brothers, who are seeking
for the way but find it not.

And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our
thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to
forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His
ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we
will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is
given back completely and complete.

It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His
own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared. For
it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the
way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our
brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life
that show the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through
our forgiveness given unto him.

We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His
holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we
thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to
sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and
vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because
we learned we were mistaken.

Nothing more than that. And is a Father angry at His Son because he
failed to understand the truth?

We come in honesty to Him and say we did not understand, and ask Him to
help us to learn His lessons through theVoice of His own Teacher. Would
He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him, and say, “This is My
Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these
are His own Words to you. And more than that can no-one ever have, for
in these Words is all there is and all that there will be throughout all
time and in eternity.
