…healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.
…to know your Self is the salvation of the world. To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought.
Yet if you are as God created you, you cannot think apart from Him, nor make what does not share His timelessness and Love. Are these inherent in the world you see? Does it create like Him? Unless it does, it is not real, and cannot be at all. If you are real the world you see is false, for God’s creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His Thought by which you were created, so it is your thoughts which made [the world] and must set it free, that you may know the Thoughts you share with God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 132, W-pI.132.7:1-2;10:1-11:6. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)
The basis for all healing is the fact that only Love is real and only Love creates. Love is innocent and Its Creation shares Its innocence. Forgiveness is justified for only innocence is real; there is nothing to judge. Love is formless and all of Its Creation shares Its formlessness.
A world of bodies and forms could never be real. Accepting this seems like a huge leap because the world is all we are consciously aware of. In our minds we have built a wall to keep out the experience of changeless Love, freedom from fear and happiness that is literally out of this world. But we built the wall and we can take it down.
As we are willing to accept that we are wrong about the meaning we are giving the world, we open the door to remembering that we remain as Love created us — whole, complete, safe and innocent. The practice of bringing all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His perception in their place is how we release the world and take down the wall we have built to defend against Love.
Today is another day to practice.
