Only salvation can be said to cure.
1. “Cure” is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the world accepts as beneficial.
²What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body “better.”
³When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists.
⁴Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion.
⁵One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well.
2. He is not healed.
²He merely had a dream that he was sick, and in the dream he found a magic formula to make him well.
³Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was before.
⁴He has not seen the light that would awaken him and end the dream.
⁵What difference does the content of a dream make in reality?
⁶One either sleeps or wakens.
⁷There is nothing in between.
3. The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake.
²The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream.
³His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind.
⁴They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone.
⁵And thus they cure for all eternity.
* They make it so that you do not do the pretend forgiveness that allows people to come back in and mess with you. And the dreams of SPIRIT lead you into the energy that holds the light of consciousness that KNOWS GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF ALL THAT YOU DO. THIS AWARENESS CAN CAUSE THE ENERGY OF THE MINDS WITHIN THE MIND OF CHRIST THAT HOLD TO THE BELIEF IN SEPARATION TO SEEK TO “TAKE YOU DOWN” BUT YOU WALK THROUGH IT IN THE CONFIDENCE OF WHO YOU AND THEY ARE IN FATHER.
4. Atonement heals with certainty, and cures all sickness.
²For the mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take.
³Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt.
⁴Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure.
⁵It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible.
⁶And that is cure indeed.
⁷For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.
5. Peace be to you who have been cured in God, and not in idle dreams.
²For cure must come from holiness, and holiness can not be found where sin is cherished.
³God abides in holy temples.
⁴He is barred where sin has entered.
⁵Yet there is no place where He is not.
* Hear that. It is reflecting on the error of understanding that is within the writing of the Bible.
⁶And therefore sin can have no home in which to hide from His beneficence.
⁷There is no place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide.
6. This is the thought that cures.
²It does not make distinctions among unrealities.
³Nor does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing is.
⁴This is no magic.
⁵It is merely an appeal to truth, which cannot fail to heal and heal forever.
⁶It is not a thought that judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes.
⁷It merely focuses on what it is, and knows that no illusion can be real.
7. Let us not try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness.
²Healing must be sought but where it is, and then applied to what is sick, so that it can be cured.
³There is no remedy the world provides that can effect a change in anything.
⁴The mind that brings illusions to the truth is really changed.
⁵There is no change but this.
⁶For how can one illusion differ from another but in attributes that have no substance, no reality, no core, and nothing that is truly different?
8. Today we seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them.
²We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father placed it there for us.
³It is not farther from us than ourselves.
⁴It is as near to us as our own thoughts; so close it is impossible to lose.
⁵We need but seek it and it must be found.
* As we heal the stories that we have told ourselves, we can think that we have to go reconnect with someone. This is not what healing in Father is all about.
* It is an inner healing that one allows that breaks with the story, and has NO RESIDUE. There is no guilt. There is no need to reconcile. There is only a sincere witness that grows within that the issue never was real in the first place.
* It is being set free from the storylines so that you may move into the future, making a new creation. And it is important to understand that whether you are with someone or not “in form,” our higher selves are united, and as we live from them and IN GOD’S Heavenly Presence, we draw that energy ONTO the earth.
* This is the light and knowledge that performs the “miracle” that sheds light on the unjust and unequal practices that may then be cleared up and done away with in our society.
* It also does not pull you like a magnet to someone who brought you down or whom you took for granted or misused. IF this is a part of where you are as the “light goes on for you,” you will want to understand that this is not true forgiveness. It is merely a tricky way that a belief in a separation from God mindset allows you to “think” you are getting better, that you are healing.
9. We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick.
* In true acceptance of God’s REALITY and PRESENCE, you are delivered FULLY from the past and its emotional ties, chains, cords, etc.
²We go beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing, from which nothing is exempt.
³We will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never be a meaningful distinction made between what is untrue and equally untrue.
⁴Here there are no degrees, and no beliefs that what does not exist is truer in some forms than others.
⁵All of them are false, and can be cured because they are not true.
* Do you hear this? No degrees. You are released. God EQUALIZES all parts of the Sonship. The Atonement CLEARS AWAY ALL historical conflict and neutralizes responsibility in the form of compensation energetically or any other way because ALL have ALL from FATHER and are free to draw on this without needing to exchange energetic compensations, no matter the form.
* This does not mean in any way that you need to “abandon” people. IF you feel inspired to continue engage with others for whatever reason, YOU WILL DO SO in an open, free, new, instant by instant existence in Father united and whole because HE IS WHO HE IS, not because your place in the body of Christ is obligated or responsible for another.
* This is how I interacted with my children, though they may not have understood it at the time. I set them free, with every interaction, to be who they were meant to be in God, each step of the way. They got upset with me and may still be, but that is something they have to work through with Father, not me.
* An obliged relationship from anyone is not something that I want. Nor is it something that I have any desire to tolerate anymore. That is not the basis of reality. It is holding fast to the addictive properties of the illusion of separation from God.
10. So do we lay aside our amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they take.
* I am thinking of this in relation to food. Food does not have to be a connection to the past or a way to cry, as I have heretofore used it. That is my pattern of addiction to holding onto past grievances and sorrows.
* So, while I have let people be free, I have not allowed myself to be free in mind or form, and I cling to the story through my use of food.
* Do not get me wrong. I am clear of guilt through the Atonement, and I know this. However, SPIRIT is showing me how patterns established over eons in time and over many lifetimes, that I do not even think about, are representative of attachments, and emotional chains that I do not have to accept as real or vital.
* This does not mean that I have to stop eating entirely. It means that when I do eat I want to do so because I want to, and while this may take some time to integrate into my behavior fully, with this understanding I can move forward knowing that I will have many spiritual assistants along the way because I have seen an issue and told Father I am willing to release this. Then Jesus and SPIRIT can “call in the troops.” and help me out. 
²We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing, which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God.
³No voice but this can cure.
⁴Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth, where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal, quiet home of God.
11. We waken hearing Him, and let Him speak to us five minutes as the day begins, and end the day by listening again five minutes more before we go to sleep.
²Our only preparation is to let our interfering thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one.
³They are the same.
⁴We have no need to make them different, and thus delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to us.
⁵We hear Him now.
⁶We come to Him today.
12. With nothing in our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and listening minds we pray:
²Only salvation can be said to cure.
³Speak to us, Father, that we may be healed.
⁴And we will feel salvation cover us with soft protection, and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds, nor offer proof to us that it is real.
⁵This will we learn today.
⁶And we will say our prayer for healing hourly, and take a minute as the hour strikes, to hear the answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy.
⁷This is the day when healing comes to us.
⁸This is the day when separation ends, and we remember Who we really are.
* Ok, this will happen ONCE we release everyone and place Father as our GPS and EXISTENCE. Even so, while in form, we will continue to discover ways that we have accepted the ideas that came from the belief in separation, so that we can let them fall away. This will happen individually and collectively until nothing remains but the purity of Father and Son without the attachment to form that we currently see as being the “proof” of our existence.
(ACIM, W-140.1:1–12:8)
* I have much love and appreciation for each of you, regardless of the costumes you think you wear or the wrongs you might believe you have done.
Till next time, God Bless, debi.
