Accepting Love’s Presence Without Limit

False healing merely makes a poor exchange of one illusion for a “nicer” one; a dream of sickness for a dream of health. This can occur at lower forms of prayer, combining with forgiveness kindly meant but not completely understood as yet. Only false healing can give way to fear, so sickness will be free to strike again. False healing can indeed remove a form of pain and sickness. But the cause remains, and will not lack effects. The cause is still the wish to die and overcome the Christ. And with this wish is death a certainty, for prayer is answered. Yet there is a kind of seeming death that has a different source. It does not come because of hurtful thoughts and raging anger at the universe. It merely signifies the end has come for usefulness of body functioning. And so it is discarded as a choice, as one lays by a garment now outworn.

This is what death should be; a quiet choice, made joyfully and with a sense of peace, because the body has been kindly used to help the Son of God along the way he goes to God. We thank the body, then, for all the service it has given us. But we are thankful, too, the need is done to walk the world of limits, and to reach the Christ in hidden forms and clearly seen at most in lovely flashes. Now we can behold Him without blinders, in the light that we have learned to look upon again. (A Course in Miracles, S-3.II.1-2)

The introduction to A Course in Miracles states, “The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance.”

True healing comes with true forgiveness — the release of barriers to Love’s presence. Sickness is a manifestation of our denial of Love, unforgiveness. As we let go of that denial through true forgiveness, Love’s presence returns to our awareness. The barriers to Love are laid down and the Light of Love shines on what we see. We see past the separate forms of the world and welcome Love’s kind vision. With this practice, our hearts are open to the unity of the Love we share with everyone eternally.

Calls for Love are joyfully answered with extensions of Love. The wish to separate is replaced by our innate will to join in oneness. As we progress in this journey of awakening to Love, peace and happiness become our daily experience. When true forgiveness is complete, we have accepted Love’s presence without limit.
