The End of Injustice

Chapter 26 – 10. The End of Injustice

What, then, remains to be undone for you to realize Their Presence? Only
this; you have a differential view of when attack is justified, and when you
think it is unfair and not to be allowed. When you perceive it as unfair, you
think that a response of anger now is just. And thus you see what is the
same as different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all it will be total.
 
And its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their Presence. They are
known with clarity or not at all. Confused perception will block knowledge.
It is not a question of the size of the confusion, or how much it interferes. Its
simple presence shuts the door to Theirs, and keeps Them there unknown.
 
What does it mean if you perceive attack in certain forms to be unfair to
you? It means that there must be some forms in which you think it fair. For
otherwise, how could some be evaluated as unfair? Some, then, are given
meaning and perceived as sensible. And only some are seen as meaningless.
 
And this denies the fact that all are senseless, equally without a cause or
consequence, and cannot have effects of any kind. Their Presence is
obscured by any veil that stands between Their shining innocence, and your
awareness that it is your own and equally belongs to every living thing
along with you. God limits not. And what is limited cannot be Heaven. So it
must be hell.
 
Unfairness and attack are one mistake, so firmly joined that where one is
perceived the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. The belief
you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by someone not
yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of everything
perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who ask this of
yourself, in deep injustice to the Son of God. You have no enemy except
yourself, and you are enemy indeed to him because you do not know him as
yourself. What could be more unjust than that he be deprived of what he is,
denied the right to be himself, and asked to sacrifice his Father’s Love and
yours as not his due?
 
Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view,
you seek to find an innocence that is not Theirs but yours alone, and at the
cost of someone else’s guilt. Can innocence be purchased by the giving of
your guilt to someone else? And is it innocence that your attack on him
attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your own attack upon the Son of
 
God you seek? Is it not safer to believe that you are innocent of this, and
victimized despite your innocence? Whatever way the game of guilt is
played, there must be loss. Someone must lose his innocence that someone
else can take it from him, making it his own.
 
You think your brother is unfair to you because you think that one must be
unfair to make the other innocent. And in this game do you perceive one
purpose for your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the
purpose given it. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to let the Presence of your
holy Guests be known to you. And to this purpose nothing can be added, for
the world is purposeless except for this. To add or take away from this one
goal is but to take away all purpose from the world and from yourself. And
each unfairness that the world appears to lay upon you, you have laid on it
by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy Spirit sees.
And simple justice has been thus denied to every living thing upon the
earth.
 
What this injustice does to you who judge unfairly, and who see as you
have judged, you cannot calculate. The world grows dim and threatening,
not a trace of all the happy sparkle that salvation brings can you perceive to
lighten up your way. And so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned
to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a futile world. The world is
fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light within, and
there has all unfairness been resolved and been replaced with justice and
with love. If you perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say:
 
By this do I deny the Presence of the Father and the Son.
And I would rather know of Them than see injustice,
which Their Presence shines away.
