In ACIM there is a lot of talk about imprisoning someone, and also about setting them free. Jesus actually says that you can either a) amplify the sickness of another by reinforcing beliefs they already have, or b) weaken...
If someone tells you that something is medically wrong with a person, your mind will narrow. You'll probably find yourself focusing on their body. You'll feel like you are locked into the situation with no way to escape it....

A person's body is held up as a picture. It covers up who they are. It says, "this is true of me." Or "this is what I am."
"You made the body in attempting to deceive yourself."
"What you...
"Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real...
In ACIM Jesus sometimes says some things which would be .... possibly offensive... to many people. These truth bombs don't go so far as to point fingers or to try to make people guilty, but it's quite likely that...
There is a lot of resistance to this very radical part of ACIM, so let's look at it even more closely.
When you project sin onto others, you are accusing them of your own sins. You do this to...
Jesus refers in the course to sickness as "a magical solution". It's an attempt to solve a problem. The only problem is, this solution is mistaken, because it actually does something opposite to what the person thinks it will do.
If...
What you are, what everyone is, is only that which God has given you to be. There is no other truth about you. The only truth about you is the truth you have inherited from God, who is the only...
There's a technique you can try, to help with removing sickness. I call it cancelling. Sometimes Holy Spirit advises me to do this.Basically, you attempt to focus on the NON-EXISTENCE of the symptom or problem. To recognize it as nothing....
Anyone who is sick, is trying to kill themselves.
That's the harsh truth of it.
"Sickness is but a little death."
"Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, ***for it is but another form of guilt***."
ALL sickness, is induced by guilt. And guilt...
When you are confused by believing the ego's world, you assign to illusions all the properties of reality. You take the properties of God away from God and from your real self, and give them to the non-existent world.
This is...
"The denial of God is the ego's religion."
At the soul level, everyone is immortal and holy. There is no problem, no unhappiness, no sickness, no death.
At the mind level, which is part of the soul, and perhaps only part of...
All physical forms, all appearances, all physical conditions, all sicknesses, every illness, all disease, even physical death, ..... are all al lie. A MASSIVE lie.
To be a miracle worker requires that you stop believing in sickness. In yourself, in others,...
There is light, and then there is the absence of light. The absence of light is what we call darkness. But darkness isn't a "something". It a lack of a something.
When light shines and hits an obstacle, it forms a...

"There IS no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son, as the Son is blessed in Him."
"There is no fear in perfect love."
"In the real world, there is no sickness, for...
Sickness in your own body is an attempt to accuse others of sin. It is part of the process of projection. "You but accuse your brother of your own sins" "Sick bodies are accusers".
This is entirely to do with cause...
A collection of A Course in Miracles quotes...
"The body can be made a home like this, BECAUSE it lacks foundation in the truth. And yet, BECAUSE it does, it can be seen as NOT your home, but merely as an...
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...
Now, pause a moment, and watch out for an ego reaction of guilt. My intention is not to make anyone feel guilty. Nor is it Jesus' intention. But he is trying to educate us with deep honesty about what sickness...
