299ACIM: Sickness & Illness: How Much Control Do We Really Have?

Published: March 21, 2018, 9:24 p.m.

I want to share today some text lifted from A Course in Miracles about the idea of sickness and how that relates to right perception as opposed to wrong perception. How do we affect something in our lives when it is seemingly outside of our control? Let’s explore this together. 
 
8 Key Takeaways
  1. We have a hand on a lot of what happens in our lives. We create unconsciously much of the time, and we also create consciously with intention as well. 
  2. A Course in Miracles teaches us that sickness is very much within our control.
  3. Abraham Hicks says that we place physical limitations on ourselves that are utterly unnecessary.
  4. According to A Course in Miracles, only perception can be sick because only perception can be wrong. Wrong perception is the wish that things be as they are not.
  5. Sickness is a sign of one’s separation from God. When you come back to being one God, sickness ceases to exist.
  6. When we think about controlling sickness, we think about medicine, science, genetics, etc. That’s how we grasp control. When we come to God, it is a moment of surrender.
  7. Sickness is also a manifestation of the ego. It’s preventing awakening. It is drawing us more into a sleep state, sleep meaning into the world of illusion.
  8. The more connected I feel, the healthier I seem to be.
 
Quotes
“We do have power to affect change, even sickness, even pain, even things that seem like they cannot be healed.”
“If you are sick, that is the manifestation of this split nature, the separation from God that many of us experience much of our lives.”
