Dear Sentinel
God makes everyone perfect and also spiritual. A spiritual idea is really you. A spiritual idea can't be hurt. When I say that I'm hurt or my friend is hurt, I'm bearing false witness. Do you know why? Because that's not real about spiritual ideas. To say that is to break this commandment from the Bible: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" (Ex. 20:16).
Here is a healing to show about this. One day I was walking on some rough ground, and I fell down and my knee was covered with blood. But I thought a lot about myself as God's spiritual idea. It would be bearing false witness to say that God's idea was bleeding. I was all fine that day—but really I am always fine, because I am God's spiritual child.
Love,
R. S.
