Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain forever true, 

however much you seek to connect them. But illusions are always 

connected, as is truth. Each is united, a complete thought system, but totally 

disconnected to each other. And to perceive this is to recognize where 

separation is, and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is never 

separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the body and 

remains connected to it, making it sick because of the mind's identification 

with it. You think you are protecting the body by hiding this connection, for 

this concealment seems to keep your identification safe from the "attack" of 

truth. 

If you but understood how much this strange concealment has hurt your 

mind, and how confused your own identification has become because of it! 

You do not see how great the devastation wrought by your faithlessness, for 

faithlessness is an attack that seems to be justified by its results. For by 

withholding faith you see what is unworthy of it, and cannot look beyond 

the barrier to what is joined with you.
