IV. The End of Sickness P 2
3 The Sonship cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it that way is not to perceive it at all. If the Sonship is one, it is one in all respects. Oneness cannot be divided. If you perceive other gods your mind is split, and you will not be able to limit the split, because it is the sign that you have removed part of your mind from God’s Will. This means it is out of control. To be out of control is to be out of reason, and then the mind does become unreasonable. By defining the mind wrongly, you perceive it as functioning wrongly.

Jesus says that the Sonship must be perceived as one and that means no part of it can be perceived as sick. The mind will work correctly only in its whole state, because wholeness is the only state of the mind in reality. I was thinking of my computer. If I open the computer up and remove a single part, the whole computer will cease to work as it is designed to, if it works at all.
How do I keep some part of the Sonship separate? I can see this happening when I hold a grievance against someone. The act of holding a grievance is an attack on the Sonship. It is the same as saying that this one is not part of the whole and now the Sonship is missing a vital part. The mind no longer works as it should.
While nothing has happened in reality, we all know how painful it is in our experience when we think we have separated. I think it is important that I be aware that I cannot single out anyone and see that one as guilty or I have, in my mind, destroyed Wholeness. Or to say it differently, I think I have destroyed God because He is no longer whole. It is a replay of the original error. We think we separated from God, and often wonder why we would have made that choice, and yet, each time we hold a grievance against even one person, we are doing it again.
It works the same way within my own thinking. If I believe everything Jesus tells tells me, and I become willing to release all thoughts that are out of alignment with God’s Will, all except for one idea, one ego belief that I think I need to hold onto, then I will not know my own union with the Sonship. This is all or nothing. I am whole and a part of the Whole or I am separate. In no moment can I be as God created me and what I made of myself. To be as God created me, I must release all that I made to be different than God created.
