   "God's guiltless Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for   
   he   
   is whole."   
      
      
   "When you have accepted the Atonement for yourself, you will realize there is   
   no   
   guilt in God's Son.  And only as you look upon him as guiltless can you   
   understand   
   his oneness.  For the idea of guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by   
   another, projecting separation in place of unity.  You can condemn only   
   yourself,   
   and by so doing you cannot know that you are God's Son.  You have denied the   
   condition of his being, which is his perfect blamelessness.  Out of love he was   
   created, and in love he abides.  Goodness and mercy have always followed him,   
   for   
   he has always extended the Love of his Father.   
      
   As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you will realize that   
   there is no journey, but only an awakening.  The Son of God, who sleepeth not,   
   has   
   kept faith with his Father for you.  There is no road to travel on, and no   
   time to   
   travel through.  For God waits not for his Son in time, being forever   
   unwilling to   
   be without him.  And so it has always been.  Let the holiness of God's Son   
   shine   
   away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his purity as   
   yours, learn of him that it *is* yours.   
      
   You are invulnerable because you are guiltless.  You can hold on to the past   
   only   
   through guilt.  For guilt establishes that you will be punished for what you   
   have   
   done, and thus depends on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to   
   future. No   
   one who believes this can understand what "always" means, and therefore guilt   
   must   
   deprive you of the appreciation of eternity.  You are immortal because you are   
   eternal, and "always" must be now.  Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and   
   future in your mind to ensure the ego's continuity.  For if what has been will   
   be   
   punished, the ego's continuity is guaranteed.  Yet the guarantee of your   
   continuity is God's, not the ego's.  And immortality is the opposite of time,   
   for   
   time passes away, while immortality is constant.   
      
   Accepting the Atonement teaches you what immortality is, for by accepting your   
   guiltlessness you learn that the past has never been, and so the future is   
   needless and will not be.  The future, in time, is always associated with   
   expiation, and only guilt could induce a sense of a need for expiation.    
   Accepting   
   the guiltlessness of the Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of   
   reminding   
   you of his Son, and what he is in truth.  For God has never condemned his Son,   
   and   
   being guiltless he is eternal.   
      
   You cannot dispel guilt by making it real, and then atoning for it.  This is   
   the   
   ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it.  The ego believes in   
   atonement through attack, being fully committed to the insane notion that   
   attack   
   is salvation.  And you who cherish guilt must also believe it, for how else   
   but by   
   identifying with the ego could you hold dear what you do not want?   
      
   The ego teaches you to attack yourself because you are guilty, and this must   
   increase the guilt, for guilt is the result of attack.  In the ego's teaching,   
   then, there is no escape from guilt.  For attack makes guilt real, and if it is   
   real there is no way to overcome it.  The Holy Spirit dispels it simply through   
   the calm recognition that it has never been.  As he looks upon the guiltless   
   Son   
   of God, he knows that this is true.  And being true for you, you cannot attack   
   yourself, for without guilt attack is impossible.  You, then, are saved because   
   God's Son is guiltless.  And being wholly pure, you are invulnerable."   
      
      
   "You will see me as you learn the Son of God is guiltless.  He has always   
   sought   
   his guiltlessness, and he has found it.  For everyone is seeking to escape from   
   the prison he has made, and the way to find release is not denied him.  Being   
   in   
   him, he has found it.  *When* he finds it is only a matter of time, and time is   
   but an illusion.  For the Son of God is guiltless now, and the brightness of   
   his   
   purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind.  God's Son will always be as he   
   was   
   created.  Deny your world and judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is   
   in   
   the Mind of his Father, and protects him forever."
