II. The Way to Remember God, P 1
1 Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the love that would heal them, but which they are denying to themselves. If they knew the truth about themselves they could not be sick. The task of the miracle worker thus becomes to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the truth is in them. Yet having obscured it, the light in another mind must shine into theirs because that light is theirs.

“Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth.” I think the reason they seem so extraordinary at times is that we are so confused about what is the truth and what is an illusion. So if someone has cancer and seems to be near death and then they are healed and completely recover, this seems like something so miraculous we can hardly believe it. In fact, the ego mind will start by being astounded, but then often tries to find explanations that make more sense to it.
But here is what really happens. The mind is so confused it thinks that we are something that can be sick and die. And further, that it takes a miracle of science to change that, and often there is no miracle yet discovered by man and so sickness leads to death. This mind is in denial of the truth.
It denies that we are the Son of God, that we are invulnerable, that we are spirit not body. It denies that the mind is the maker of all things experienced in form, and therefore the maker of the appearance of sickness and death, and so can undo that choice. It now becomes the function of the mind to deny the denial of truth and that appears as a miracle to the confused mind, but it is merely the return to reality.
Why would the mind choose pain and suffering and even death? It is because, in its confused state, it does not love itself. So sickness of any kind, of the body, of relationships, of any form within the world that does not reflect perfection, is a call for the love that would heal them. If I am afraid that I will not have enough money when I retire, that is a call for the love that would heal my belief in lack.
If I have a grievance against someone, that is a call for love that would heal my mind of the belief that I am a victim to that person. If I hurt my body in an accident, that is a call for love that would heal my belief that I am guilty and deserving of pain. In each case I have denied the truth about myself, and I need a miracle that will deny the denial of truth. I need to heal myself, and I can heal myself because the truth is in me.
But what if the truth is obscured by my confusion? What if I cannot see the light in my mind? Then you can heal me by shining the light of truth into my mind and clearing the darkness so that I will again be aware of the truth. If sickness is just the denial of truth, then healing is simple and easily accomplished. The degree of or type of sickness is irrelevant. It is a denial of truth regardless of the form it takes. All that needs to be done is to deny the denial of truth.
This is the way we pray for each other. We look at the form the denial of truth has taken and know that it is meaningless. We know that the poverty, the broken relationship, the cancer, each of these is just a reflection of a mistake in thought and none of them is true. When I think I am sick, please do this for me. Shine the light of truth from your mind into mine.
Do not feel sorry for me. Do not recommend an alternative healing. Do not fear for me. Just know that I have denied the truth of my being and am now confused to the point of sickness. Know that I have the Solution, the Answer to my problem, and it is in my mind. This is the way I would hope someone would pray for me and this is the way I pray for anyone who needs my prayer.
I see the appearance of a confused thought and I know that while this is their experience, it isn’t truth. I see the reality of their identity as the Son of God and know that this is the only thing that is true. This is the light of truth coming from my mind and shining away the darkness that has temporarily obscured the light in theirs.
