Healing Through Accepting Love’s Vision

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed because you offered faith [in oneness] to him, giving him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He shares [His vision] He has given it, and so He heals through you. It is this joining Him in a united purpose that makes this purpose real, because you make it whole. And this is healing. The body is healed because you came without [the body], and joined the Mind in which all healing rests.

The body cannot heal, because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives [the body], and the purpose that the mind would use it for. It is obvious that a segment of the mind can see itself as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs the body becomes [the separated mind’s] weapon, used against this Purpose, to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has never said and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by insanity. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.I.2-3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Our true Self has one Purpose — to extend the oneness of Love and nothing else. Our true Self, the Holy Spirit, sees only the oneness of Love everywhere. When we see with the vision of Love, the appearance of bodies is overlooked because only the reality of Love is seen. We heal by accepting Love’s vision of oneness.

When we identify with the body and its perceptions, we identify with separation as our reality. The body is simply an instrument of the ego used for the purpose of making separation seem real. To heal, we must disconnect our identification with a body and join with the oneness of our true Self. This is true healing.

As we accept Love’s vision and see the Love in our brothers, our minds are healed. This acceptance of our oneness must be total, with no reservations. We can keep no illusions of separation in the mind alongside truth. Illusions deny truth.

Today we would welcome healing in our minds by choosing to accept Love’s vision in place of perceptions through the body. This is how we find peace in a dream of chaos, for Love overlooks illusions.
