Only the [[different]] can attack. So you conclude because you can attack, you must be [[different]]. Yet does the [[Holy Spirit]] explain this differently. Because you are not different, you cannot attack. Either position is a [[logical]] [[conclusion]]. Either could be maintained, but never both. The only question to be answered in order to [[decide]] which must be true is whether you are different. From the position of what you [[understand]] you seem to be, and therefore can attack. Of the alternatives, this seems more natural and more in line with your [[experience]]. And therefore it is [[necessary]] that you have other experiences, more in line with [[truth]], to teach you what is natural and true.

This is the [[function]] of your [[holy relationship]]. For what one thinks, the other will [[experience]] with him. What can this mean except your [[minds]] are one? Look not with fear upon this [[happy]] [[fact]], and think not that it lays a heavy [[burden]] on you. For when you have [[accepted]] it with gladness, you will realize that your [[relationship]] is a [[reflection]] of the [[union]] of the Creator and his Son. From loving minds there is no [[separation]]. And every thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the same. [[Joy]] is unlimited, because each shining [[thought]] of [[love]] extends its being and creates more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is like itself.

The [[light]] that joins you [[shines]] throughout [[the universe]], and because it joins you, so it makes you one with your [[Creator]]. And in him is all creation joined. Would you [[regret]] you cannot fear [[alone]], when your [[relationship]] can also teach the power of [[love]] is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the [[ego]] with this gift. For it was given you to be used, and not obscured. What teaches you that you cannot separate denies the ego. Let [[truth]] decide if you be different or the same, and teach you which is true.
