IV. The End of Sickness
1 All magic is an attempt at reconciling the irreconcilable. All religion is the recognition that the irreconcilable cannot be reconciled. Sickness and perfection are irreconcilable. If God created you perfect, you are perfect. If you believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods before Him. God is not at war with the god of sickness you made, but you are. He is the symbol of deciding against God, and you are afraid of him because he cannot be reconciled with God’s Will. If you attack him, you will make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in whatever form he may appear to you, and wherever you think you see him, he will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made.

God created me perfect so I am perfect. Sickness is not part of that perfection so I cannot be sick. My mind cannot be sick and so nothing through which I extend my awareness can be sick. This Myron character cannot be sick. Her body cannot be sick, nor can her mind or her emotional state be sick. Her relationships cannot be sick and her financial situation cannot reflect sickness.
So how is it that I seem to be experiencing the effects of a sick mind? How is it that I can appear less than the perfection in which I was created? If this is not possible, how am I doing it? Into the holy mind of God’s Son there came a thought of imperfection and he went to sleep and dreamed of this. I am dreaming what it would be like to be less than what I am or could ever be. And dreams do not change the dreamer. When the dreamer wakes up, the dream is gone and the dreamer is unaffected. As we wake up, we experience the happy dream, that is, we dream without the fear and guilt that cannot be real. Then God raises us up to Him and we dream no more.
It is important to realize that nothing has actually happened because if it had happened we would have to fix it. If it were actually happening, we would have done something that we must regret and then we would be guilty and then we would not be perfect. If we were not perfect we would have overcome God Who creates only perfectly and we would have reason to fear. But none of that is possible. We have done nothing to God and could never do anything to God.
As we are waking up we are remembering the truth and since this is a shared dream, it is helpful to remember it together, and to share our moments of enlightenment. This sharing is part of the awakening. We share and the sharing helps us to remember our oneness. Today we are sharing the thought that sickness is not possible and therefore we do not have to worship this idol, nor do we have to defeat it.
When I first began to see that sickness was a defense against God, and that in sickness I was worshipping a false god of my own making, I felt relief, but I also felt fear and guilt. Would God condemn me for my foolishness? If I wanted to make this idol in place of God then how would I undo it? How do I fight my own will?
The first question is being answered for me. I cannot actually affect God and I have not actually sinned. Another thing I have been told his that God is Love. Because I remember so little about love, it has taken awhile for me to understand how important that statement is. Now that I finally see that love as the world knows it is not real love, but is more akin to neediness, I am ready to accept a new definition of love.
Love in reality is pure. It is perfect. It has no opposite. It has no conditions. It is not loss. It never hurts, and if something hurts, it is not love. It is never anything but love. God is Love and is nothing else. God can only love. I have never loved purely as does God and so this is hard to imagine, but I accept it as true. I look forward to the day when I remember this love. I am beginning to realize that I have nothing to fear from God.
The next really important thing I am beginning to understand and accept is that there is only God. There is nothing else, nothing outside of God. This means I am in God, even as I sleep and dream of something else. So nothing imperfect can exist because where would it exist? Sickness will come to an end because it does not exist. It will come to an end for me when I stop dreaming it, and I will stop dreaming it because I am perfect. I am not fighting my own will, because it is my will to know myself as perfect. I am in God therefore I share His Will for perfection.
What does this mean for me right now? What do I do about these dreams of sickness? I have been seeing a doctor because I have dreamed of sickness and that sickness was projected as a sick body. This means I have made an idol of sickness. I have tried to defend myself against these awakening thoughts which will bring me inevitably to God. I am not guilty for this, it is just what we do in our fear.
I am using this story of sickness to undo my belief in sickness. I take the body to the doctor but I do not worship the doctor as my savior. I am grateful to him as my brother who is doing his part in the awakening through service. I do not worship at the altar of fear. I am not hovering over the body, looking for signs of danger. I am not praying for the body. And if any thoughts of fear come into my mind, I relinquish them to the Holy Spirit.
This is the way I do my part to free the Sonship of the idol we have made of sickness. Having a sick body is just the outward appearance of the desire to defend against God. It is nothing to fear or feel guilty about. How the sickness itself is handled is not important. What is important is that I notice my thoughts and feelings about the sickness and that I be willing to have my mind healed. I invite the Holy Spirit to undo what we have done.
