The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. ²The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. ³His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. ⁴They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. ⁵And thus they cure for all eternity.
Atonement heals with certainty, and cures all sickness. ²For the mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take. ³Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt. ⁴Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. ⁵It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. ⁶And that is cure indeed. ⁷For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.
²We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing, which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. ³No voice but this can cure. ⁴Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth, where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal, quiet home of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-140.3–4;10:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 140 Insights.)
The body is a manifestation of the denial of God’s Love. Individuality and Love’s oneness cannot coexist in reality. Guilt is an inevitable effect of denying Love and identifying with the body. Love does not condemn but the thought system of separation condemns itself to nothingness. Thus the answer to our self-imposed condemnation is to forgive the wish for specialness.
The Holy Spirit is in our mind to help us forgive what could never be true. We need to be willing to offer all our perceptions to Him for His loving correction. With His help, we will remember the Love that is our true Identity. We will learn to see the reality of Love that is everyone’s Identity, uniting us with our Creator. We will learn to see a forgiven world where conflict is recognized as nothing. In its place we will experience the peace that comes with joining in the Love of God.
