Healing and Atonement are not related; they are identical. There is no order of difficulty in miracles because there are no degrees of Atonement. It is the one complete concept possible in this world, because it is the source of a wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless idea, just as special areas of hell in Heaven are inconceivable. Accept Atonement and you are healed. Atonement is the Word of God. Accept His Word and what remains to make sickness possible? Accept His Word and every miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. The teacher of God has taken accepting the Atonement for himself as his only function.
He overlooks the [ego] mind and body, seeing only the face of Christ shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and healing all perception.
No longer does he stand apart from God, determining where healing should be given and where it should be withheld. Now can he say with God, ‘This is my beloved Son, created perfect and forever so.’ (A Course in Miracles, M-22.1:1-10;4:5;7:9-10)
To accept Atonement for ourselves means letting go of all unforgiving thoughts. An unforgiving thought is a thought that denies our oneness with God’s Love. Any thought of judgment of ourselves or our brothers is an unforgiving thought. Believing we are a body is an unforgiving thought. Believing any form is real is an unforgiving thought because Love is formless. What is one can have no distinguishing form that separates it from all that is. There is nothing outside the oneness of Love, since only Love is real.
Each time we bring an unforgiving thought to the Holy Spirit and accept His gentle correction, we take another step toward the Atonement. When we are able to see past form to the face of Christ, the face of innocence, we move toward full acceptance of the Atonement. As we practice letting Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts, our days become steps toward full acceptance of the Atonement and the healing of our minds. This is our practice today.
