'''Chapter 7: The Gifts of the Kingdom'''

===The Last Step===

===The Last Step===

God has lit your mind himself, and keeps your mind lit by his light because his light is what your mind is. This is totally beyond question, and when you question it you are answered. The Answer merely undoes the question by establishing the fact that to question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the Holy Spirit never questions. His sole function is to undo the questionable and thus lead to certainty. The certain are perfectly calm, because they are not in doubt. They do not raise questions, because nothing questionable enters their minds. This holds them in perfect serenity, because this is what they share, knowing what they are.

====IV. Healing as the Recognition of Truth====

===Healing as the Recognition of Truth===

Truth can only ''be'' recognized and ''need'' only be recognized. Inspiration is of the Holy Spirit, and certainty is of God according to his laws. Both, therefore, come from the same Source, since inspiration comes from the Voice for God and certainty comes from the laws of God. Healing does not come directly from God, Who knows his creations as perfectly whole. Yet healing is still of God, because it proceeds from his voice and from his laws. It is their result, in a state of mind that does not know him. The state is unknown to him and therefore does not exist, but those who sleep are unaware. Because they are unaware, they do not know.
