Welcome to active meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 137 When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
Today's idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests.
For healing is the opposite of all the world's ideas,
Which dwell on sickness and on separate states.
The world obeys the laws that sickness serves,
But healing operates apart from these laws.
It is impossible that anyone be healed alone.
In sickness,
Must we be apart and separate?
But healing is our own decision to be one again,
And to accept ourself with all its parts intact and unassailed.
Healing might be called a counter-dream,
Which cancels out the dream of sickness,
In the name of truth,
But not in truth itself.
Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished,
Healing removes illusions that have not occurred.
Just as the real world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all,
Healing offers restitution for imagined states and false ideas.
Think not healing is unworthy of your function here,
But your Antichrist becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is real.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
Say again,
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
Just as forgiveness shines away all sin,
And the real world will occupy the place of what you made,
So healing must replace the fantasies of sickness,
Which you hold before the simple truth.
When sickness has been seen to disappear,
In spite of all the laws that hold it must be real,
Then questions have been answered and the laws can no longer be cherished nor obeyed.
Healing is freedom.
Healing demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the truth.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I would share my healing with the world.
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
I would share my healing with the world.
That sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one Son,
Who is my only Self.
I am found around this.
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
Let healing be through you this very day.
As you rest in quiet,
Be prepared to give as you receive,
To hold but what you give.
Be prepared to receive the Word of God,
To take the place of all the foolish thoughts that were ever imagined.
Now,
We come together to make well all that was sick.
We come together to offer blessing where there was attack.
Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by.
We remember our purpose with this thought.
Say,
In your mind,
After me,
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
I would bless my brothers and sisters.
For I would be healed with them as they are healed with me.
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds.
We ask that the thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed,
Aware that they will both occur as one.
We will remember as the hour strikes,
Our function is to let our minds be healed,
That we may carry healing to the world.
Exchanging curse for blessing,
Exchanging pain for joy,
Exchanging separation for the peace of God.
Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this?
Is not a little time,
A small expense,
To offer for the gift of everything?
We must be prepared for such a gift.
And so,
We will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts,
With which we will conclude at night as well.
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
I would bless my brothers and sisters.
For I would be healed with them as they are healed with me.
When I am healed,
I am not healed alone.
I would bless my brothers and sisters.
For I would be healed with them as they are healed with me.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
