Chapter 25 – 1. Introduction

The Christ in you inhabits not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be
that you are not within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it
is certain that you cannot be apart from what is at the very center of your
life. What gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you.
Christ is within a frame of Holiness whose only purpose is that He may be
made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to
come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then will
their bodies melt away, that they may frame His Holiness in them.
 
No one who carries Christ in him can fail to recognize Him everywhere.
Except in bodies. And as long as he believes he is in a body, where he
thinks he is He cannot be. And so he carries Him unknowingly, and does
not make Him manifest. And thus he does not recognize Him where He is.
The son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide
exactly where he is, and walks with him within his holiness, as plain to see
as is his specialness set forth within his body.
 
The body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick
indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds
the body in His light, and fills it with the Holiness that shines from Him.
And nothing that the body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those
who know Him not it carries Him in gentleness and love, to heal their
minds. Such is the mission that your brother has for you. And such it must
be that your mission is for him.
