Day 132
6 The offer of Atonement is universal. It is equally applicable to all individuals in all circumstances. And in it is the power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not to believe this is to be unfair to God, and thus unfaithful to Him. A sick person perceives himself as separate from God. Would you see him as separate from you? It is your task to heal the sense of separation that has made him sick. It is your function to recognize for him that what he believes about himself is not the truth. It is your forgiveness that must show him this. Healing is very simple. Atonement is received and offered. Having been received, it must be accepted. It is in the receiving, then, that healing lies. All else must follow from this single purpose.
This paragraph says that Atonement is universal. It applies in all circumstances and to everyone. It heals all forms of sickness. This is because all sickness is the result of believing in separation. If I did not believe I was separate from God I could not be sick, not sick of mind or body. My sister in law and my brother would be healed of the sickness in their bodies just as Jesus healed physical bodies. Those I have thought of as unenlightened or less enlightened would awaken with me, as I allowed my mind to be healed of the belief they or I could be separated from God. The healed mind does not see any differences between sickness, nor any hierarchy of illusions. Forgiveness applies equally to all of them and is unfailing in its healing power.
How do I offer Atonement (or healing) for someone else who thinks he is separate from God? I know the truth for him, that’s all. I just know that he is not separate from God. I know that absolute certainty. I am not distracted by actions that appear to prove otherwise. I don’t believe anything I see that does not point to the truth.
How is it that my belief in the truth about him could affect him? This seems odd only if I really do believe in separation. If I believe that I am separate from this person then I question how my belief could heal his mind. But if I am a true healer, if I am a teacher of God and my mind is healed, then I know that we are one, and what is true in my mind is true in his mind as well. There is no separation of our minds.
The body and its ailments, the world we see, the little ego mind with its crazy beliefs, are all effects of thoughts in our mind, and ideas leave not their source. As our mind heals, so do the effects of the mind. And since there is only one mind, as mine is healed so is everyone’s. Does it appear that the healing is not accepted? Do not be deceived by appearances.
