"Sick bodies are accusers." "Behold, brother, at your hand I die."
Ok now, this is a lesson in cause and effect and what happens when it is reversed.
When your mind is sane, it knows it is "cause". It causes, it creates,...
"The body cannot heal, because it cannot MAKE ITSELF SICK. It NEEDS no healing. Its health or sickness depends ENTIRELY on how the mind perceives it, and the purpose that the mind would use it FOR."
So. The body itself cannot...
This is a central teaching in ACIM. The mind projects the body. The mind is *always* responsible for the body's condition. What the mind uses the body FOR (love, or attack) determines the condition the body will show up in,...
"The mind, being sane, heals the body."
"That the body cannot heal the mind but the mind can heal the body proves the mind must be stronger than the body. EVERY MIRACLE DEMONSTRATES THIS."
When your mind is sane, you know you...
"THE CENTRAL LESSON IS ALWAYS THIS; that what you use the body for it will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it...
A radical teaching in the Course which not many are willing to accept, is that the condition of your body is still subject to the Golden Rule. That means that what applies to you applies to others equally. So when...
When your sense of identity has become confused with the ego or body, you see it as your SELF. You associate your existence with it as though it is you.
In order to then preserve your "own life", you will defend...
"A major step in the Atonement plan is to undo error at ALL levels. Illness, which is really "not Right Mindedness", is the result of level confusion in the sense that it always entails the misbelief that what is amiss...
I've seen how when I want to make something go away, I make myself sick.
We attempt to psychologically reject and push something away when we find it threatening, dangerous or undesirable, all of which is a perceptual error. This however...
Sickness is an attack on BOTH you AND your brother. It seeks to come BETWEEN you. It is a double-edged sword. Both are attacked and separated off. This is why you cannot be sick in isolation or without attacking another....
(Comments on "the mechanism of miracles.")
"Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth."

The proper use of the body is as a communication device to transmit LIFE.
Communication means extension and creation. The body is to be used by the Holy Spirit as a way to extend past the body, past the body of...
These sections from the Course present one of the most CORE parts of Jesus's teaching - that you must USE YOUR BODY to demonstrate the innocence that you believe in. Anyone demonstrating sickness or death believes in attack and is...
It seems to you that there is a separate power, a separate will, or a separate cause, which is "outside of your mind", which you seem to have no control over.
This power or will seems to show up in the...
If mind becomes split, there are now two causes.
The 2nd cause will seem to will against the first.

If mind reclaims the fact that it is fighting its own self, and...
"You are not sick and you cannot die. But you can confuse yourself with things that do." - ACIM
Who we are is an immortal being. Period. That's all that we are. Immortal and safe and eternal and invulnerable and incapable...
----TL;DR: Changing your perception OF a sick body, isn't enough to change what you are projecting. You are projecting your body and the symptoms.----
"Projection makes perception. The world that you see is what you have put there to see; nothing...
(and you must!)
The "sickness is a defense against the truth" section says a lot about how we make sickness AND reverse it.
