--III. The Function of the Teacher of God--

If the patient must change his mind in order to be healed, what does the teacher of God do? Can he change the patient's mind for him? Certainly not. For those already willing to change their minds he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have become teachers of God with him. He has, however, a more specific function for those who do not understand what healing is. These patients do not realize they have chosen sickness. On the contrary, they believe that sickness has chosen them. Nor are they open-minded on this point. The body tells them what to do and they obey. They have no idea how insane this concept is. If they even suspected it, they would be healed. Yet they suspect nothing. To them the separation is quite real.

To them God's teachers come, to represent another choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts ask for the right to question what the patient has accepted as true. As God's messengers, His teachers are the symbols of salvation. They ask the patient for forgiveness for God's Son in his own Name. They stand for the Alternative. With God's Word in their minds they come in benediction, not to heal the sick but to remind them of the remedy God has already given them. It is not their hands that heal. It is not their voice that speaks the Word of God. They merely give what has been given them. Very gently they call to their brothers to turn away from death: "Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you choose sickness in place of this?

Not once do the advanced teachers of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the same purpose, and therefore are not really different. They seek for God's Voice in this brother who would so deceive himself as to believe God's Son can suffer. And they remind him that he did not make himself, and must remain as God created him. They recognize illusions can have no effect. The truth in their minds of their brothers, so that illusions are not reinforced. They are thus brought to truth; truth is not brought to them. So they are dispelled, not by the will of another, but by the union of the on Will with itself. And this is the function of God's teachers; to see no will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from God's.

テレビで見てたアニメを映画館で見るのって異様な感動があるんだよ
2010年に池袋の映画館でlainを見た時、俺は始まって7秒位で号泣してしまった
やっと玲音さんと本当に出会えたと感じた
それから10分くらい、世界に自分と玲音さんしかいない感覚になった
禅で言うところの三昧に入ってたと思う

. Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune line up in a sweeping arc along the sky. This cosmic display shares a blockbuster day with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower and a solar eclipse. [1, 2, 3]
