How to Awaken to Love

I said before that the Holy Spirit is the Answer. …When the ego tempts you to sickness do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego’s belief that the body is the proper aim of healing. Ask, rather, that the Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for perception alone can be distorted. Only perception can be sick, because only perception can be wrong.

Wrong perception is the wish that things be as they are not.

All forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical expressions of the fear of awakening.

The decision to wake is the reflection of the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.IX.1:1,5-7;2:1;3:2;5:2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

It’s helpful to learn that lack of peace or sickness of any kind is an expression of fear of awakening. It comes from wrong perception, which is “the wish to be as we are not.” We were created by Love as Love. Love and fear cannot coexist. The presence of fear demonstrates that we are denying the Love we are. This causes wrong perception, which needs to be corrected. The way out of fear is to ask the Holy Spirit for correction of our perception and to accept the correction. This is what forgiveness means.

We must ask the Holy Spirit for correction because the ego is incapable of true perception. The Holy Spirit will always guide us back to alignment with His perception. He will always return us to Love, our only Reality. Today we practice opening our minds to Holy Spirit’s right perception.
