The Path to True Mind Healing

The level-adjustment power of the miracle induces the right perception for healing. ²Until this has occurred healing cannot be understood. ³Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it entails correction. ⁴Without this it is essentially judgmental, rather than healing.

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.

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.15:1-4;17:5–18:6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Forgiveness can only occur when we accept a correction of our perception. Only the Holy Spirit offers true correction of our perceptions. The ego can only offer “corrections” based upon mistaken beliefs that made the faulty perception in the first place. Ego thinking is limited to a closed loop centered around the wish for specialness. Of itself it cannot escape this loop.

The Holy Spirit recognizes our mistaken perceptions but does not believe in the their core cause. Thus He offers true correction because He represents the only real Cause. He offers correction in terms we can understand from our limited perspective. Gently and lovingly He leads us to the truth without stimulating increased fear. Paying attention to the Holy Spirit is thus a path to release from fear, true mind healing.
