Primary
Don’t battle the idol—withdraw worship and it returns to nothing.
Pillar
Oneness has no sick part: refuse the idol’s verdict.
Peace is God’s Will; sickness and bondage cannot share His laws.
Wholeness cannot be partly ill; idols divide the mind.
Supporting
Chaos cannot alter perfection; changeable laws are unreal.
Illusions must be released before knowledge can dawn.
Creation is lawful and shared; knowing the light restores true creating.
Judge unreality as nothing; let self-made obstructions fall away.
The Sonship cannot be partly sick and still remain one.
Miracle lays aside false gods, inviting your brother into faith.
Peace is upheld by God’s laws; no false law can steal it.
Minor
An act of faith: trust the spark of light in your brother.
See the spark of light; refuse to share sickness-belief, and healing follows.
The call is strengthened by joining; one mind can shine for another.
Willingness to have reality: see nothingness and let it go.
God’s laws protect creation; sickness cannot define the Self.
Call on the Holy Spirit within; joining strengthens the healing answer.
Echo
Misdefining mind makes confusion feel inevitable and out of control.
From magnitude to littleness: separation shrinks awareness of the Sonship.
From little spark to Great Light: begin where you believe.
An indestructible spark preserves remembrance when light seems obscured.
When idols are seen as nothing, vision naturally reaches toward light.
Attacking the idol of sickness reinforces it; withdraw belief instead.
Trying to join sickness and perfection is the ego’s magic.
