The body is a symbol. It teaches either healing and life, or it teaches attack and death.
The body symbolizes and represents the attitude of the MIND that is using the body. The body is a SYMBOLIC MESSAGE.

Now, consider this. Your mind is either in a state of sanity or a state of mental illness. When mentally ill, YOUR MIND...
There is a myth in the ACIM community relating to how perception works. It's based on the belief that we only have one perception, one outlook. There's us, in the body, perceiving. We read stuff about how perception shifts and...

This goes way beyond "just healing yourself."
"To heal, then, is to correct perception in your brother AND yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places you both WITHIN the Kingdom and restores ITS wholeness in your minds."

You are in your brother's mind, and he is in yours. You share minds and are joined in holy relationship.
When you believe in separation, using the ego weapons of attack, judgement, sin, guilt, fear, etc, you split off a part...
"The miracle-worker begins by PERCEIVING light, and translates HIS perception into sureness by continually extending it, and ACCEPTING ITS ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Its EFFECTS assure him IT IS THERE. The therapist does not heal; he LETS HEALING BE. HE can point to...
