A
Course in Miracles has certain teachings that Jesus says will take a lot of
willingness and a lot of determination, over what will seem like many years
before it starts to come over the horizon and into your awareness. One of the
concepts that Jesus talks about in ACIM is the unhealed healer. It's very
tempting to pick up this book with all this great metaphysical wisdom and to
start to assimilate it like you would as a human being and then say, "Hmm,
okay, I got the goods now, I can heal." And then you’re looking around and
trying to find somebody to heal, with all this new metaphysical wisdom that
you've got. Basically a Course in Miracles is
saying that it takes a really full transfer of training to go from the unhealed
healer, which is coming from a place of still seeing errors in people and the
world, and thinking that you are sent there to offer the answers because of
this book that you've read. Jesus says, 'no actually to forgive you have to get
so aligned with the Holy Spirit in your mind that you don't see the error at
all.' You’re just happy, you’re just joyful, and that happiness and that joy
will be the inspiration that heals them. When other people are around you they
will feel relaxed, they will feel like 'wow, this person's really happy and they’re
not judging me, I can relax and be myself,' and then that's how the healing
occurs when you feel relaxed. Generally people like to be happy, and gravitate
towards happy people and if you have a happy state of mind then that will be a
perfect ignition of healing, in fact that's the whole healing. When you’re
happy the whole world is healed along with you. "When you’re smiling the
whole world smiles with you," there it is, it's A Course in Miracles. So that’s one that’s pretty common.
True
empathy is another one, to not be “people pleasing”. True empathy is one that
takes quite a while. When the mind is diluted, and when the mind's asleep and
insane, it's constantly looking outward at everything. So it's judging and
evaluating everything, even its own success, it will try to use externals to
judge its success. And true empathy is just a state where you come and join
within to what is real and true and that's where you find the happiness, the
joy, and the peace. And then you cease to be interested, you cease to care
about appearances. Jesus even has a question that's posed to him in The Manual
for Teachers in A Course in Miracles; "Should healing be repeated?"
Basically he's saying, if you get to the point where you pray and you join and
you offer healing, and then you come to a point where you have a doubt thought
in your mind and you’re not sure if the healing worked, you need to come back
inside, because it's your own mind where the doubt thought is. A Course in
Miracles is always emphasizing the value of going inward and not believing in
the reality of an external world. https://acim.me/
