Primary
See Atonement by granting a brother guiltlessness—your only function here.
Your brother’s innocence is your Atonement and way to God.
Pillar
Stop asking to be forgiven; learn to grant guiltlessness instead.
Decision-making rests in the Holy Spirit’s remembered function.
Supporting
Decide against deciding alone; let God’s Voice make choice effortless.
No second source exists; holiness cannot be withheld from any brother.
Feeling God’s Presence isn’t knowing; judgment blocks recognition.
Your function is to offer the blameless Son in every brother.
Teaching a brother guilt burdens you; Atonement lifts the load.
Your task is to extend Love where lovelessness seems to teach.
Proclaiming a brother guiltless makes that innocence yours to see.
Minor
Guilt’s blocks make Presence seem absent until guiltlessness is accepted.
Your only lesson is Atonement: receive truth, then teach forgiveness.
Guilt makes selves unintelligible; life is communication with God.
Accept the First Cause: you are created within God, not self-made.
Knowing God requires guiltlessness; judgment denies what He placed in you.
Don’t manufacture reality from ignorance; let Guidance decide.
Let the Holy Spirit remember reality for you.
