Manual for Teachers, 7. Should Healing Be Repeated? P 3. 8-10-20

7. SHOULD HEALING BE REPEATED? P 3
3 It is in this that the teacher of God must trust. This is what is really meant by the statement that the one responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. The teacher of God is a miracle worker because he gives the gifts he has received. Yet he must first accept them. He need do no more, nor is there more that he could do. By accepting healing he can give it. If he doubts this, let him remember Who gave the gift and Who received it. Thus is his doubt corrected. He thought the gifts of God could be withdrawn. That was a mistake, but hardly one to stay with. And so the teacher of God can only recognize it for what it is, and let it be corrected for him.

I understand that as I am healed, that is, as I accept the Atonement for myself, I am a healer. I heal all the time simply by my presence and my certainty. My mind is a light that shines away the darkness of sickness as it shines away the darkness of false beliefs. If I doubt, this is no longer true. My doubt would take me out of the state of clarity that allowed healing, and that means I am the one that needs healing. As the saying goes, “Physician, heal thyself,” or more correctly, “Healer, heal thyself.”

Does this mean that to be a healer, we must be completely healed? Not at all. We all have moments of clarity and in those moments, we are healers. If we use the body’s eyes to detect proof of healing we have moved into doubt and now the healer becomes the patient. We can then correct the problem by surrendering to the Holy Spirit and once again remembering that we are instruments of healing.

That we retreat back into fear does not negate the moment when we were in Love. And neither is it a lost moment because the feeling of being even a shadow of the true self is a powerful inducement to continue the practices. Failing to stay in a more awakened state is not a failure at all, just another step toward total realization, as we use it to ask for healing.

Holy Spirit, please help us to remember Who it is that heals. When we are tempted to think the personality self is doing this, shake us awake. OK? Then we’ll have a good laugh.
