Letting Ourselves Be Healed

Healing, forgiveness, and the [exchange of joy for sadness], are the means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours; how little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death. [Holy Spirit’s] life becomes your own, as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain.

And as you let yourself be healed, you see all those around you, or who cross your mind, or whom you touch or those who seem to have no contact with you, healed along with you. Perhaps you will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the world, when you let healing come to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions will receive the gift that you receive when you are healed.

When I am healed I am not healed alone.
And I would bless my brothers, for I would
be healed with them, as they are healed with me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 137, W-pI.137.8-9;15:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 137 Insights.)

To let ourselves be healed we only need to stop defending against healing. Identifying with the ego thought system and the body is a defense against healing. Healing cannot come from the thought system of separation, which is the source of a sick mind and body.

Healing comes from the Holy Spirit, the part of our mind that knows the truth and does not believe in separation. The practice of choosing the Holy Spirit as our Guide moment by moment welcomes His kind lessons in truth. It is the acceptance of truth in our mind that brings healing to the world.

Today we dedicate to the practice of letting Holy Spirit guide all our perceptions. With His help we will see past our old judgments. We will see past the illusionary images that seem to threaten us. We will see past the shadows of the ego to the Light of Love in everyone and in everything.
