While reading through this I started having some serious deja vu. I remember having a dream in which I was reading something similar and arguing with myself about which points I agreed with and which I didn’t. Freaking out a little, but I will be reading this whole series thoroughly. I think I was meant to.

Yep, I find this passage from ACIM very illuminating:

“You will recognize you practiced well by this: The body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what the body does. Its usefulness remains and nothing more.

“Perhaps you do not realize that this removes the limits you had placed upon the body by the purposes you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The body’s health is fully guaranteed, because it is not limited by time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.

“Yet this protection needs to be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick.”

Illuminating post and thread. I’m glad you covered #1 a second time in the comments Erika, as #1 is the point I’ve most been trying to work out for myself. What is VERY clear to me is we remain as God created us, perfect. ACIM’s forgiveness has the element of acknowledging that what we perceive physically is not even close to real. Which seems to suggest we can’t read too much into it, while also giving us the means to change it – (sort of strange bedfellows but I get it, I think). In other words the world we perceive tempts us to live by sight not faith, when of course it is the reverse. So my real curiosity is, how reliable is what we see as a gauge of what’s going on spiritually? In other words I am not sure how to react when someone appears to die of cancer. Obiviously our hope and goal (as we change “nightmares” to “happy dreams” before finally fully awakening) is that everyone lives in peace, not eating animals, in perfect health, etc. But also, my reading has impressed on me that what even being on the planet at all (prior to enlightenment) IS participating in ego because ego is physical separation. When we finally awaken fully there will be no need for form but those “englightened” can choose to appear in body in order to help, like Christ did after crucifixion. Body is a means of communication while in the script. Trying to figure out what does all this mean for me as a posture? And secondly, if I continue my healing work can I wake up one day and there will be no more animals skinned alive on the entire planet, for example, even potentially erased from memory like it never existed? The more I consider the holograph the more it makes me wonder.

You are right of course! In the Dutch language though writer and author are one and the same. I know the Course is channeled, but the decease of the woman whom wrote the information down, so we could study it, proves that not every-one fully under-stands the Course. Even when all this is Godgiven, received by one human being, which most likely had the task to pass it all on to her brothers and sisters.

Thanks for stopping by … I agree with most of what you said … and yes the healers need to take off their masks. Healers do not help people die, they help them live. And we must start by being the example.

hi Erica,
I appreciate you and your work… I have come across many `good` healers (practicing reiki, prannic, kundilini, eft, counselling, spiritual healing, aura cleansing, etc ………….) die of cancer…..I completely believe that these `good healers` either did not learn or they were too `saintly` and won over death before their physical death………… I was shocked at the ignorance, by a temple trust maintained hospice.. lately, a friend informed me that a hospice maintained by Cipla pharmaceuticals are treating the `terminal` stage cancer patients very well…
only a dishonest person can b cheated (by anybody/anything/cancer)… cancer is not a disease, the way it is touted to be…. cancer exists in every human being but it is rendered powerless by right thoughts, words and deeds……….. the moot point is what is RIGHT for you within the universal Will and not your Will? ( I will talk on this later …. )
what contributes to cancer :
1)..Diet : Tea, coffee, alcohol, non-veg, eggs, smoking, spicy, oily , tinned food, overcooked, excessive sweets and /or high energy foods, refined (salt, sugar, oil, flour.. ),, artificial inorganic additives/flavourings/vitamin, mineral fortification. (GM foods for new generation), food cooked by cooks in hotels (rather than by loved ones) ..
all of these consumed over long periods raise blood ph levels (acidicity), lowers immunity.

2)..Thoughts and emotions : feeling of loneliness & unloved is greatest contribution to cancer… many good people including healers and public figures hide from reality, and wear the mask of mother Teresa…. (Note : such diplomacy is nothing but dishonesty)… except for saints who have worked against `Time`.. . all 7 billion present population have to make amends individually and collectively for the harm they have done/and r doing with the emotions of flaura and fauna (even the ones done by our genetical forefathers)

more later… ( cant give much time, since I have to work for making a living
