The mind that dreams that the separation is real, is split from changeless Reality. The
divided mind needs to be healed before awakening can occur.
Your
mind is one with God's. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held
your ego together, but has literally split your mind. T-4.IV.2:7.
The
calm being of God's Kingdom, which in your sane mind is perfectly
conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the part of the mind the ego
rules. T-4.III.10:1.
Any
split in mind must involve a rejection of part of it, and this is
the belief in separation. The Wholeness of God, which is His
peace, cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind that recognizes
the Wholeness of God's creation. T-6.II.1:1,2.
The
mind is therefore confused, because only One-mindedness can be
without confusion. A
separated or divided mind must
be confused. T-3.IV.3:3,4.
Perception
always involves some misuse of mind, because it brings the mind into
areas of uncertainty. The mind is very active. When it chooses to be
separated it chooses to perceive. Until then it wills only to know.
... The
mind chooses to divide itself when it chooses to make its own levels.
But it could not entirely separate itself from spirit, because it is
from spirit that it derives its whole power to make or create. T-3.IV.5:1-4,8,9.
