It is impossible to let illusions be brought to truth and keep the illusions. Truth demonstrates illusions have no value.
Healing will always stand aside when it would be seen as threat. The instant it is welcome it is there. Where healing has been given it will be received. And what is time before the gifts of God? …No teacher of God should feel disappointed if he has offered healing and it does not appear to have been received. It is not up to him to judge when his gift should be accepted. Let him be certain it has been received, and trust that it will be accepted when it is recognized as a blessing and not a curse.
It is the relinquishing of all concern about the gift that makes it truly given. And it is trust that makes true giving possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the patient’s mind is seeking for him. (A Course in Miracles, M-6.1:2-3;2:1-4,7-9;4:1-3)
The Holy Spirit’s singular purpose in our mind is to heal our illusions which deny God’s gift of all His Love. He is our Guide to truth. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love, the ego’s illusions are recognized as valueless and freely let go.
This is the truth about everyone. When anyone exhibits behavior that is unloving, defensive, fearful or guilty, he is calling for the Holy Spirit’s lesson in Love. He has forgotten the truth that he is already Love and has all of God’s Love. He lacks nothing of value.
Forgiveness, letting go of illusions, is the way we heal our mind and offer healing to our brothers. Forgiveness brings our illusions to the Truth and dispels them in Its Light. With our clarified vision, we offer our forgiveness as a gift of Love to our brothers. It does not matter whether a brother accepts our gift of forgiveness, of Love. The gift is received by the Holy Spirit in his mind, for it comes from the Holy Spirit in our mind.
If our brother believes he is protected by his unforgiveness, he will not accept forgiveness for himself. But the Holy Spirit in his mind receives the gift for him and holds it for him until he is ready to accept it. Whether or not a brother acknowledges and accepts the gift of Love is not our concern. The healing has been given to our brother and to ourself. The Light has come.
