HOW
IS HEALING ACCOMPLISHED?
3.
The Function of the Teacher of God
If
the patient must change his mind in order to be healed, what does
the teacher of God do?
Can
he change the patient's mind for him? Certainly not.
For
those already willing to change their mind, he has no function except
to rejoice with them, for they have become teachers of God with
him.
He
has, however, a more specific function for those who do not understand
what healing is.
These
patients do not realize they have chosen sickness.
- On
the contrary, they believe that sickness has chosen them.
- Nor
are they open-minded on this point. The
body tells them what to do, and they obey.
They
have no idea how insane this concept is. If they even suspected
it they would be healed. Yet
they suspect nothing.
To
them the separation is quite real. |

You have
interpreted the separation as a means which you have made
for breaking your communication with your Father. The Holy
Spirit re-interprets it as a means of re-establishing what
has not been broken but has been made obscure... He knows
you are not separate from God, but He perceives much in your
mind that lets you THINK you are. All this, and nothing else,
would He separate from you. All this,
and nothing else, would He separate from you. ACIM
CHAP 14 - Out of the Darkness
We once
said that God so loved the world that He gave it TO His only-begotten
Son. God does love the real world...God gave you the real
world in exchange for the one you made out of your split mind,
and which IS the symbol of death. For if you could really
separate yourselves from the
Mind of God you WOULD die...ACIM
Chap 11- Investment in Reality
Actually,
“Cause”
is a term properly belonging to God, and “Effect,”
which should also be capitalized, is His Son. This entails
a set of Cause and
Effect relationships which are totally different from those
which man introduced into his own miscreations.
ACIM Chap 2 - Correction
for Lack of Love
The
Atonement was established as the means
of restoring guiltlessness to the mind which has denied
it, and thus denied Heaven to Itself. ACIM
