The injunction “Be of one mind” is the statement for revelation-readiness. ²My request “Do this in remembrance of me” is the appeal for cooperation from miracle workers. ³The two statements are not in the same order of reality. ⁴Only the latter involves an awareness of time, since to remember is to recall the past in the present. ⁵Time is under my direction, but timelessness belongs to God. ⁶In time we exist for and with each other. ⁷In timelessness we coexist with God.
(8) You can do much on behalf of your own healing and that of others if, in a situation calling for help, you think of it this way:
²I am here only to be truly helpful.
³I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
⁴I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
⁵I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
⁶I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.” (A Course in Miracles, T-2.V-A.17–18. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
While we believe the world is real, we are in a situation calling for help. We need help to let go of mistaken beliefs that hold us in a dream of fear and guilt, loss and pain. This prayer succinctly encapsulates key attitudes that help us let go of the dream and accept the Love of God without reservation.
We always have Help available to us. But while we try to make decisions on our own, we are denying the help given us by our Creator. God did not make a world of bodies and separation. He did create an extension of Himself, His Son, Who He retains one with Himself. This is why our true Self coexists with God in eternity. We return to awareness of our true Self as we practice this prayer that reminds us to accept the help we have to heal our mind.
