Letting Love Heal Our Mind

The miracle establishes you dream a dream, and that its content is not true. ²This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. ³No one is afraid of [illusions] when he perceives he made them up. ⁴The fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream. ⁵He gives himself the consequences that he dreams he gave his brother.

⁶The miracle is useless if you learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson [the miracle] was sent to teach. ⁷The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing, and had no effects.

⁵The body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” ⁶And thus the mind is free to make another choice instead. ⁷Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the world undone. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.II.7:1-5;11:6-7;12:5-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our true Self is God’s Son, the extension of His Love. As limitless as God Himself, this Self cannot be contained in a body, separate from all others. The belief that we are a body is an illusion that denies our Father’s universal Love. Guilt is an inevitable effect of this denial.

All pain and suffering is a projection of the guilt that comes with believing we have separated from our Source. The dream of separation reinforces our mistaken belief that we have denied our Father’s Love. It feels like we have wandered far from Home. As we forgive ourselves for the wish for specialness, we open our mind to receive the miracle that teaches us we have not lost our unbreakable unity with God.
