Peace be to you who have been cured in God, and not in idle dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and holiness can not be found where sin is cherished. God abides in holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet there is no place where He is not. And therefore sin can have no home in which to hide from His beneficence. There is no place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide.
This is the thought that cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to truth, which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought that judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is, and knows that no illusion can be real.
There is no remedy the world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change but this. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 140, W-pI.140.5;6;7:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 140 Insights.)
The world we experience with a body is a projection of the ego belief that separation is real. All we are experiencing is illusionary images made by the ego to hide the truth that separation is impossible. Only the oneness of God’s Love is real.
Accepting the reality of God’s Love is the means to heal the split mind’s denial of truth. Love’s oneness heals the split mind’s belief in lack of Love. When Love is accepted, guilt is released and therefore the cause of sickness is let go. Focusing our attention on fixing the body with external forms keeps the split mind in charge. The ego thought system is a closed loop that denies the truth.
This is why we need to accept God’s help through His Voice to learn how to see the truth of Love beyond the world’s forms. We choose God’s Love today, for we would return to the sanity of God’s Mind.
