In order to heal, it thus becomes essential for the teacher of God to let all his own mistakes be corrected. If he senses even the faintest hint of irritation in himself as he responds to anyone, let him instantly realize that he has made an interpretation that is not true. Then let him turn within to his Eternal Guide, and let Him judge what the response should be. So is he healed, and in his healing is his pupil healed with him. The sole responsibility of God’s teacher is to accept the Atonement for himself. Atonement means correction, or the undoing of errors. When this has been accomplished, the teacher of God becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have been forgiven him, and he no longer condemns himself. How can he then condemn anyone? And who is there whom his forgiveness can fail to heal? (A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers, M-18.4)
Anything that disturbs our peace in the slightest is a sure sign that we have identified a false image as real. Only Love is real and there is no harm in Love. Love cannot disturb our peace.
Every disturbance can be used as a reminder that we must have misperceived and given reality to an illusion. When we remember that the disturbance we experience is telling us that we need our mind to be corrected, to be shown the illusion for what it is, we open our minds to receive the Holy Spirit’s loving correction. He will assure us that we remain safe in changeless Love and our brother is there with us.
We cannot lose nor be harmed. As we practice being alert to disturbances and bringing them to the Holy Spirit to receive His help to see truly, we accept the Atonement for ourselves. Today is a good day to practice.
