Study of the Text, Chapter 8: V.The Undivided Will of the Sonship, Paragraph 1. 9-5-14

V. The Undivided Will of the Sonship
1 Can you be separated from your identification and be at peace? Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional believe that truth will assail them, and they do not recognize it because they prefer the delusion. Judging truth as something they do not want, they perceive their illusions which block knowledge. Help them by offering them your unified mind on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on behalf of yours. Alone we can do nothing, but together our minds fuse into something whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the Mind of God is established in ours and as ours. This Mind is invincible because it is undivided.

We are one whole and part of God, but we will not know this or experience it if we prefer separation. Where is your mind right now? Is it focused on the truth of your being, or is it focused on defending your small self? Earlier today I was occupied with separation thoughts. I was worried about work and time and getting things done. All of these things are part of the separation idea. I do my work. I get my things done. Time doesn’t exist except where I believe I need it.

There are things I must do in the illusion, but I can do them with grace or I can worry and fret over them. I have done it both ways and I know the difference. Several times this week I have become concerned that I will forget something or not find time to do it, then realizing what I was doing I stopped. I reminded myself that Spirit will bring it to mind if it needs my attention. Spirit will guide the project and keep it simple and joyful if I allow this.

When I make the second choice, when I lay aside my desire to do this on my own, make my own decisions and plans as a separated self, there is no anxiety. In turning to Spirit I am laying aside the idea that a little me has goals that are mine alone and that the little me must accomplish them on my own. In choosing Spirit as my guide, I am choosing wholeness. I am being one with All That Is. And there is no fear in God.

I watch my mind and my words for the tell-tell signs that I am falling into the old habits of seeing separation everywhere. I watch for those beliefs that someone is guilty or that I am afraid. I ask for the Atonement. I ask that these thoughts be removed from my mind. I am learning not to insist on a separated self. I am learning that I prefer to join my mind with Spirit. Alone I can do nothing but weave stories, but in God we are powerful beyond anything we can imagine. In God we are vast and unlimited.
