This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to
time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It will mean far
more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are the words God
gave in answer to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen
within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these words are spoken.
For they come from God.
Here is the Word by which the Son became His Father's happiness, His Love, and
His completion. Here creation is proclaimed, and honored as it is. There is no
dream these words will not dispel; no thought of sin and no illusion that the
dream contains that will not fade away before their might. They are the trumpet
of awakening that sounds around the world. The dead awake in answer to its call.
And those who live and hear this sound will never look on death.
Holy indeed is he who makes these words his own; arising with them in his mind,
recalling them throughout the day, at night bringing them with him as he goes to
sleep. His dreams are happy and his rest secure; his safety certain and his body
healed, because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He will
save the world because he gives the world what he receives each time he
practices the words of truth.
Today we practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no
thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So wholly is
it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places all His gifts and all
His Love to be distributed to all the world, increased in giving; kept complete
because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to think with God. Christ's
vision has restored your sight by salvaging your mind.
We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now accept. With
this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when
holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair when perfect joy is
yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all sense of loss, and
for complete escape from sin and guilt?
And who would not be brother to you now; you, his redeemer and his Savior. Who
could fail to welcome you into his heart with loving invitation, eager to unite
with one like him in holiness? You are as God created you. These words dispel
the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the world,
for you have recognized the Son of God, and in that recognition is the world's.
