[The body] can be seen as not your home, but merely as an aid to help you reach the Home where God abides.
With this as purpose is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of God’s Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice, and given you the instant it is made.
But never you alone. This world is but the dream that you can be alone, and think without affecting those apart from you. To be alone must mean you are apart, and if you are, you cannot but be sick.
Your home is built upon your brother’s health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and everything his Father promised him.… It is an ark of safety, resting on God’s promise that His Son is safe forever in Himself. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.VII.3:6-4:6;5:1-3;7:1,5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The key to all healing is learning and accepting that separation is impossible and that we remain united with our Source. There can be no sickness in God, our Source. And if we remain at one with our Source, there can be no sickness in us, God’s Son.
The appearance of sickness is simply a symptom that we are believing in the impossible. We are believing that we have succeeded in separating from our Source. To pray for the healing of the symptoms is to attempt to fix the effect instead of the cause.
To ask for help to release the mistaken belief in being separate is to ask for help to heal the cause of all sickness. This is another way of saying to accept help to forgive is to allow healing in our minds and to accept our oneness with our brothers. Thus are our brothers healed along with us.
