When I said that the ego does not know anything, I said the one thing about the ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if only knowledge has being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being.
No one can doubt the ego’s skill in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your willingness to listen until you choose not to accept anything except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit’s Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen. It cannot be louder without violating your freedom of choice, which the Holy Spirit seeks to restore, never to undermine.
The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This will heal them and therefore heal you. Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. …Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the body lovelessly. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VII.7:6-7;8:4-8;9:1-3,9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The Course defines knowledge as awareness of Truth. Since the ego is the denial of Truth, it cannot know truth. To become aware of our true Identity, we must let the Voice for Truth guide all our perception. When we set the ego aside and let the Holy Spirit guide all our doing, we become His messengers. We teach Love by seeing only Love as real. This is how we learn we are Love.
When we perceive something that disturbs our peace and let the Holy Spirit transform that perception, we bring the oneness of Love to the situation. This forgiveness releases our self-imposed limits on Love. It allows perceived lack of love to be healed with Love.
