ACIM T-7.IV Healing As the Recognition of Truth

February 25, 2014

God knows all of us, God’s creations, as perfectly whole.  This is irrefutable.  This is a certainty.  No amount of forgetting or misperception can change this immutable fact.  No matter how broken we may feel, no matter how far we may think we have strayed, no matter how alone and separated we may think ourselves, God always knows us perfectly whole.  This is a certainty we can bank on.  We can forget we are whole, and remove the awareness of our wholeness from our minds, but we can never change the reality of our wholeness.

Healing is the reawakening in our mind to the certainty that we are whole.  It is a remembering of the laws of God and a forgetting of the laws of the ego, separation.  Healing is a way of undoing our belief in differences.  Our belief in differences is the mistaken belief that we are separate from God and each other.  In this world of form we all appear to be unique.  We all appear to have differing abilities and differing identities.  But these apparent differences are all translatable to one common thought; that we are perfectly whole.  Spirit works within our minds to use all our differing abilities to transform our awareness and remember who we really are.  Healing is replacing the laws of the ego in our minds with the laws of God.  Forgetting in this application is simply remembering better.  As we allow Spirit to guide our minds in healing, we are replacing our misperception with a perception that is better.  Thus we move toward remembering the laws of God and the truth about who we really are.  We are perfectly whole.

The laws of God are within us.  They are truth and they are a part of who we really are in our perfect wholeness.  They are the laws placed in us in our creation.  The Course tells us to seek first the Realm of Heaven within us.  This is our home.  This is the state of mind and being we have forgotten by believing we are something other than that which we really are.  Peace, Love, and Joy are abundant here.  We are the Divine Presence of God in this world.  Allowing ourselves to wake from the dream of separation and see the reality of our perfect wholeness is the Light of the Divine within us and the Light of the Divine within each other.  This Truth about our wholeness is not new.  When we choose to allow ourselves to see it we will recognize ourselves in an instant and know it is the Truth about who we really are.  Be willing to change your mind and recognize the Truth about who you really are.
