Chapter 10

The Idols of Sickness

The world is recognized as a chosen dream, and the mind can choose again by accepting Atonement and Creation’s Love. A hidden decision to forget Knowledge makes fear and attack seem justified, until willingness to remember through the Holy Spirit restores peace. Sickness is unmasked as idol-worship and an authority grab, and healing comes through joining minds to accept shared wholeness. Denial of God is exposed as devotion to sickness and other idols, undone by remembering Love and sinlessness.
