The goal of ACIM is to HEAL ones-self. When this goal is reached, our minds and our purpose are re-aligned with Gods.
What this means is that:
1) We CAN heal any and all ailments and problems
2) When we DO heal, then all the power of earth and of heaven are restored to us.
We have Forgiveness as a tool to use in this world to facilitate this healing. Each time we call upon forgiveness, it translates the false into the true, denial into acceptance, sickness into healing and fear into love. How we feel, our life circumstances and relationships, all are the mirrors for us to look at in order to see what we are choosing, so we can "choose once again". Every time we choose the healing over the dis-ease, we are bringing that time of perfect peace and whole/healed perception closer to us.
We have to become brutally honest with ourselves as to where we are still investing in the world and in the body, so that we can welcome a miracle into our minds in its place. A miracle abides by the laws of eternity not time, it is for the mind to remember its Reality as a Soul not a body. This is the shift that does the healing. The miracle is the literal change of Mind that occurs once forgiveness is seen as justified.
Stand not in the way of this healing, by thinking you know how to heal. If you are sick, in pain, frustrated, depressed, confused, doubtful, unhappy or feel lacking in form or purpose in any way, then you DO NOT KNOW. The most helpful thing we can do is come back to this place of not knowing. Only in stillness and deep meditation, can we learn to listen and to welcome the forgiveness/miracles/Truth from within.
Truth must be taught to us and given us from within; there is no intellectual or conceptual way of healing. All healing must be had through an experience and a change of mind. It is not complete healing until this change/transformation has occurred. The good news is, we have been given an inner teacher to guide us and to heal our minds for us. We also have Jesus who has walked the way before us, showing us that healing and miracles are possible. Now all we need do is lock down into the recognition that I can heal, in truth I am healed, and so I welcome all that is rightfully mine into my mind and heart today. We can ONLY benefit from doing this.
This Truth will come to heal us of all our ailments and problems. There is nothing that this divine healing cannot fix or change. We will see our self, our life and our world in a completely and entirely new way than we did before. This transformation will enable us to help to heal others because of our own personal experience and demonstration of how minds, and effects can change. We must then give the gifts we have so joyously and gratefully received, and this is when boundless joy and inspiration to create is activated and consistent.
These gifts will extend as healed perception, miracles, and literal tools & creations to bring into this world to help all of the world to change. We made the world, so when we change our minds about it, we can indeed change the world as well. As Jesus reminds us often through out A Course in Miracles, we ARE "saviors of the world" here to "Bless the world, because we have blessed our Self!!"
Quotes from A Course in Miracles on this topic:
"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." 11.2
"When you are weary, remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter will rest you, but YOU cannot. You do not know HOW, for if you did you could never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt yourselves you could never suffer in ANY way, for that is not God’s Will for His Son." 10.3
"To think like God is to share His CERTAINTY of what you are, and to CREATE like Him is to share the perfect Love He shares with YOU. To this the Holy Spirit leads you, that your joy may be complete because the Kingdom of God is whole." 7.1
"When the light comes and you have said,“God’s Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you will KNOW it is not of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty in His name, for YOUR joy could no more be contained than His." 10.3
"You DO communicate fully with God, as He does with you. This is an ongoing process in which you share, and BECAUSE you share it, you are inspired to create LIKE God." 7.0
