Mark 12:27 Meaning He Is Not the God

To argue over the dead is to argue over what was never there. A mind that pictures endings and a self that stops has taught itself that separation is real, and from that one error every fear descends. Love does not preside over what fear invented; it holds only what is alive.

The error is not a sin to punish but a confusion to undo. A mind steeped in death has chosen the wrong teacher and called its shadows facts. Choose again, and the question of the dead dissolves, because life is the only thing that was ever true of it.

The divine principle does not belong to what is inert and lifeless but to living awareness, and to look for it among dead things is the whole of the error. Those who hunt for God in a buried past, in stone and dead letter and men long gone, search where it is not, because the living power moves only in what is awake and breathing now. Within a person that same principle is not a memory of something once alive but the current animating the body at this moment. To treat the source of life as a matter of the dead is to miss it entirely, since it is found only where life itself is stirring.
