God keeps His promises.



Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your Identity depends on his reality. Think of him as a mind which brother is to you, not as a mind in which illusions still persist. Between your minds there is no gap. The Holy Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no gap that separates His Oneness from Itself. The gap between your bodies matters not, for what is joined in Him is always one.

The Holy Spirit’s function is to take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into place again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to every separate piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each He offers his Identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of just a little, broken bit that he insisted was himself. And when he sees this picture he will recognize himself. If you share not your brother’s evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself. T28.IV
Whoever says, “There is no gap between my mind and yours” has kept God’s promise, not his tiny oath to be forever faithful unto death. And by his healing is his brother healed.
Let this be your agreement with each one; that you be one with him and not apart. And he will keep the promise that you make with him, because it is the one that he has made to God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his creation did his Father say, You are beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from Me. His Son remembers not that he replied “I will,” though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it every time he does not share a promise to be sick, but lets his mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his will, who has made promise of himself to God. T28.VI

Quimby said “Mind affects mind”. ACIM teaches “Minds are joined, bodies are not”.

In Humpty Dumpty “All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn’t put Humpty together again.”

That’s the job of the Holy Spirit.
