The Son of God has both Father and Son, because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and being is to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one Will. Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom your understanding is not perfect, and what you really want is therefore lost to you.
Healing thus becomes a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it the better teacher and learner you become.… Every healing thought that you accept, either from your brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God’s Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the denial of God’s Fatherhood and of your Sonship.
Healing is a sign that you want to make whole. And this willingness opens your ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, Whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole He will lay His Own complete Will and make yours whole. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.II.1:3-2:1,5-6;4:1-3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Every thought stemming from belief in separation is an attack on the Son of God. We cannot know or understand the Self that is God’s Son while we believe we are a separate identity housed in a body. This is a belief in a false image. In many ways the Course tells us not to mistake the body for the Son of God.
The Holy Spirit is always ready to help us learn that we are not a body and remain whole as God’s Son. But we must welcome His lessons. We do not have to be certain that we want the Holy Spirit’s lesson. But we must be willing to invite Him in. To that little willingness, the Holy Spirit adds His total willingness to make us whole. Just be willing to let our mistaken thoughts be healed and God’s teacher will show us the truth of What we are. We will learn to see our oneness with our brother. We will realize that we want to be truly helpful to every brother, for that is how we both heal.
Today we welcome Holy Spirit’s lessons in wholeness that we may heal and be healed.
