Healing – healing of the mind – is a thought by which two minds perceive their oneness and become glad – wholly joyous. This gladness or joy calls to every part of Creation to rejoice with them and extends the Love of God to and through every speck of Creation. This is true healing. Healing is a shift in our thought system from separate individual thinking to thinking with the Mind of God. Peace, Love, Light, and Joy come flowing out of all because it just can’t be contained. It is our choice who we choose to be. Do we choose to think and be according to the laws of Spirit, or do we choose to be separate? It’s our choice, though one would wonder why we would want to be anything other than who we really are. To Spirit, having and being are the same. Oneness – or Wholeness – is our true state of being.
Thoughts are meant to be shared. When we share a thought with another, we still have the whole thought, and another has the whole thought, too. This is the concept of extending that increases Creation, for reality is the Mind of Source. As we allow our minds to be healed, we join with each other in One-mindedness and with the One Mind. So how do we get to this One-mindedness in our life in this world of form? Everything appears so separate. Everything seems so rigid and locked in to what we each think it is. And we all think so differently about everything.
The narrator – teacher – of the Course tells us that they can bring us the Holy Spirit, but only at our own invitation. We are created as extensions of God, like God in every way. God honors our creative abilities and so honors our choice, no matter how separating it may be. But the Teacher is always with us, waiting with Spirit for us to extend the invitation for guidance. Being willing to change our thoughts, our perceptions, is the opening Spirit is waiting for. Spirit knows us intimately and has always been within us watching and waiting for us to tire of the way of separation. It may take more than tiring for us to be willing to change our thinking. It may even take a catastrophe or a life changing event. But when we are ready, Spirit will help us realize that we can see things differently. Spirit will help us see peace instead of whatever we think we see.
Spirit will guide us to the thought system step by step in increments we can handle to build a new thought system. Spirit will guide us to a thought system that perceives so close to reality that we are carried across the gap to rejoin the awareness of our Oneness with the One Mind. And what joy we experience at that joining. We are wholly joyous. We always have been wholly joyous. We simply blocked our awareness of our wholly joyous state of being. And what joy we bring as we share that joy in its infinite abundance with each other. Begin today. Choose to be willing to perceive Oneness in yours and another’s minds. This is the miracle we each are seeking. Be who you really are and be wholly joyous.
