We Are All Perfect Love

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C. For the past year, it seems like I have been experiencing one illness after another. I have also been in deep communion with Holy Spirit and asking for healing? What is going on?

Workbook Lesson 76 in ACIM says, “I Am Under No Laws but God’s.” From my understanding, the Law of God is the Law of Perfect Love. If I am not experiencing Perfect Love, then I am believing in the ego law of fear and guilt. The belief in fear and guilt are the obstacles that are blocking my awareness of seeing my brothers and myself as God’s Perfect Love. The belief in fear and guilt are the beliefs that are calling to be healed if I am to experience God’s Perfect Love.

As I have been giving my willingness to have these ego beliefs be healed, opportunities are coming up to show me how deeply this belief in guilt has been buried. I believed I was guilty for not being a good mother. I believed I was guilty for still harboring unforgiving thoughts about my ex-husband and his wife and my ex-son-in-law. I believed I was guilty for still relying on magic to fix this broken body. I believed I was guilty for asking an herbalist to work with me in helping me relieve these physical symptoms instead of just relying on God’s help. I still believe I am guilty for still being so attached to this body and believing this is who I Am.

I believed I was guilty because I have been so afraid to want to awaken because I thought that this would mean I would have to let go of this body I made to separate from God. You get the picture; It’s a picture of guilt, guilt, guilt.

The sickness is an outer picture of an inward condition all held together by the belief in guilt.

The toxic belief in guilt is keeping me from truly knowing that my Reality is Perfect Love and that my brother’s reality is also Perfect Love. The Course says there is only one problem and one solution. The problem is believing we are guilty for choosing to separate from God. How could we be guilty for a belief? It really doesn’t make any sense.

It’s so freeing to know that we have the answer to this one problem and it’s right there within us. I don’t have to go seeking outside for the answer. It’s always been there but I never knew where to look. God put the Answer in us because He knew we would forget to remember the Truth when we believed we separated from Our Source. God placed the Holy Spirit in our Mind to help us remember the Truth.

I am learning through this Voice for God, the Holy Spirit, that the one problem is I don’t believe I am Perfect Love. And why don’t I believe it? It’s because a teacher who wanted me to believe in guilt taught me and that I wasn’t worthy of Perfect Love. I thought the belief in guilt called for punishment, not Love. The sickness I have been experiencing all my life wasn’t coming from my body. It was an outward picture of the belief in guilt.

So why, after asking Holy Spirit to work with loosening this belief in guilt, do I seem to experience worsening symptoms in the body? The answer came in the form of an email from a Course student, Patricia, who sent some quotes from a book by Tom Carpenter called, “The Miracle of Real Forgiveness” He writes, “The truth is that while we are transitioning through the ‘evolution’ of the forgiveness process, surrendering ever more deeply the guilty thoughts we value most, there will likely be sickness. Forgiveness is the process of helping us find the places in our mind where sin and sickness still hide.”

This put me in such a state of peace and helped me release the belief that I was doing something wrong because I still had physical symptoms. No, exactly the opposite. It might appear worse as my mind gets healed because the belief in guilt that has been buried for so long is coming to the surface and is being healed. It’s like a purification process.

One time I went on a food fast and for the first couple of days, I felt sicker because the toxic stuff was being released. It was only temporary. And as I continued, I suddenly felt more energetic than I ever felt. And this is what is happening as I’m healing my mind about the belief in guilt. I am feeling more at peace and more joy. I am not focusing on outer appearances like I once did. I am focusing on connecting with the Source of Love within me.

I am also not feeling the guilt about using magic as I once did. Like my mind healing partner, Myron, told me: “Take your eyes off of what your are ‘doing’ and focus your attention on what you are thinking.”

I was also very fearful of awakening. The ego belief is that to awaken means I have to let go of the body I so strongly identify with. To the ego belief system, awakening means death. I was still seeing awakening as a curse and not as a blessing. But again, Holy Spirit is teaching me that I am not asked to give up the body but to give up attachment to the body as who I think I am. I am now ready to let the Holy Spirit use the body as the vehicle to extend Love and help the Sonship awaken.

With this new understanding, I am not afraid to awaken and, in time, will not be afraid to let the body go when its usefulness is complete. I am learning that awakening from the dream is a gradual process of undoing all I learned and most important to let go of the belief in guilt which has been so deeply buried.

I am so grateful to really be getting on a heart level that the source of every problem is the belief in guilt. Holy Spirit is healing my mind and showing me that I can’t be guilty for my beliefs. I can’t be guilty for dreaming. My beliefs are being changed with my willingness to have Holy Spirit change them for me.

The Course is teaching me that I can’t experience the truth of Perfect Love and the belief in guilt at the same time. In Perfect Love there is no sickness, there is no lack, there is no conflict. There is only wholeness and Oneness and Perfect Love. The only choice I have to make is whether to believe what I have been taught by the ego or to allow Holy Spirit to be my teacher and teach me of my innocence and the innocence of my brothers.

This is how I am now choosing to spend my time. Forgiveness is our function and there is only one thing to forgive — our belief in guilt. There is only One Truth to embrace. We are All Perfect Love. Thank you Holy Spirit.
