Why do people doubt You?

Because they doubt themselves.

Why do they doubt themselves?

Because they have been told to; taught to. By whom?

People who claimed to be representing Me. I don’t get it. Why?

Because it was a way, is the only way, to control people. You must doubt yourself, you see, or you would claim all your power. That would not do. That would not do at all. Not for the people who currently hold the power. They are holding the power which is yours—and they know it. And the only way to hold on to it is to stave off the world’s movement toward seeing, and then solving, the two biggest problems in the human experience.

Which are?

Well, I’ve discussed them over and over again in this book. To summarize, then . . .

Most, if not all, of the world’s problems and con-flicts, and of your problems and conflicts as individuals, would be solved and resolved if you would, as a society:

1. Abandon the concept of Separation.

2. Adopt the concept of Visibility.

Never see yourself again as separate from one an-other, and never see yourself as separate from Me. Never tell anything but the whole truth to anyone, and never again accept anything less than your grandest truth about Me.

The first choice will produce the second, for when you see and understand that you are One with Every-one, you can not tell an untruth or withhold¹ important data or be anything but totally visible with all others because you will be clear that it is in your own best interests to do so.

But this paradigm² shift will take great wisdom, great courage, and massive determination. For Fear will strike at the heart of these concepts and call them false. Fear will eat at the core of these magnificent truths and make them appear hollow. Fear will distort, disdain³, destroy. And so Fear will be your greatest enemy.

Yet you will not have, cannot produce, the society for which you have always yearned⁴ and of which you have always dreamed unless and until you see with wisdom and clarity the ultimate truth: that what you do to others, you do to yourself; what you fail to do for others, you fail to do for yourself; that the pain of others is your pain, and the joy of others your joy, and that when you
