<center>'''What is the Holy Spirit?'''</center>
The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. Since He must
bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge
through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who
turns to Him for truth. Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all
carried to the truth, to be dispelled before the light of knowledge. There are
sights and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived before,
forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end.
The goal the Holy Spirit's teaching sets is just this end of dreams. For sights
and sounds must be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love.
And when this is entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal
it has in truth. For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He
perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by
the eternal truth.
If you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you recognize your
sinlessness, you would not let His Voice appeal in vain, nor turn away from
His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made. The Holy
Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain what is
forever unattainable. And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the
means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.
From knowledge, where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to
you, to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams, and be restored to sanity and
peace of mind. Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you.
And the memory of all your Father's Love will not return to signify the end
of dreams has come.
Accept your Father's gift. It is a Call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself.
The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to
God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing
God, when all He wills is that you be complete?
