Recognizing Opportunities to Heal Our Mind

Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. ²If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not love themselves. ³Therefore, they are asking for the love that would heal them, but which they are denying to themselves. ⁴If they knew the truth about themselves they could not be sick. ⁵The task of the miracle worker thus becomes to deny the denial of truth. ⁶The sick must heal themselves, for the truth is in them. ⁷Yet having obscured it, the light in another mind must shine into theirs because that light is theirs.

The light in them shines as brightly regardless of the density of the fog that obscures it. …your remembering is his, for God cannot be remembered alone. ⁸This is what you have forgotten. ⁹To perceive the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God.

Perceive in sickness but another call for love, and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. ²Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. ³You will be made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the call for love. ⁴And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. ⁵Answer his call for love, and yours is answered. ⁶Healing is the Love of Christ for His Father and for Himself. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.II.1:1–2:1,7-9;3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Why is it important to answer a brother’s call for Love? Because the Love we offer to our brother is offered to our self. We are one and the same Self.

In the dream of separation, we see ourselves as different. As we forgive our perceptions of differences, we welcome the unity of Love. We experience the blessing of trusting the truth that we dwell together in Love’s Light. This Light guides us on a shared path of return to Love. Every perception becomes an opportunity to heal our mind.
