Preparing for Mind Healing

The Holy Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your salvation. ²But He cannot use what you withhold, for He cannot take it from you without your willingness. ³For if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you against your will. ⁴And so you would not learn it _is_ your will to be without it. ⁵You need not give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could you had no need of Him. ⁶But this He needs; that you prefer He take it than that you keep it for yourself alone, and recognize that what brings loss to no one you would not know. ⁷This much is necessary to add to the idea no one can lose for you to gain. ⁸And nothing more.

You who know not of justice still can ask, and learn the answer. ²Justice looks on all in the same way. ³It is not just that one should lack for what another has. ⁴For that is vengeance in whatever form it takes. ⁵Justice demands no sacrifice…

⁸It is impossible for you to share the Holy Spirit’s justice with a mind that can conceive of specialness at all.

⁷Without love is justice prejudiced and weak. ⁸And love without justice is impossible. …¹¹In justice, then, does love correct mistakes, but not in vengeance. ¹²For that would be unjust to innocence. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.VIII.1:1-8;4:1-5;5:8;11:7-8,11-12. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

In preparation for our recent move, we went through a process of letting go of things we had saved but did not perceive as worth moving. Similarly we need to look at our beliefs and evaluate whether we want to keep them. Is a belief helpful? Does it keep us safe or make us happy? Does it strengthen or weaken us? Does it trigger fear or guilt?

This evaluation process needs to be guided by the Holy Spirit. The ego is an inappropriate guide for it will defend beliefs that keep it in place. But the Holy Spirit will always lead us to see beyond the ego’s limited perspective with Christ’s vision. With His help we learn that ego-based beliefs do not serve us. The value we have given them diminishes.

When we reach the point of willingness that the Holy Spirit replace our limiting beliefs with awareness of Love’s presence in our mind, we are open to mind healing. Our mind is progressively healed as we are willing to receive Love’s blessing in place of the ego’s offerings of specialness. Our perceptions are increasingly guided by Love. We are restored to the peace and happiness that is eternally ours as God’s Son.
