ACIM Lesson 356 Prayer

"Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him."
This lesson equates sickness with sin, suggesting that both are attempts to separate ourselves from God's truth. It teaches that healing, on the other hand, is synonymous with God, reflecting a return to our true identity as His sinless Son. We are to recognize that sickness is a defense against the truth of our spiritual nature, and that healing involves aligning with God's love and letting go of the ego's illusions.
