Sickness is a defense against the truth.
Are you doing these lessons? Practicing?
At a minimum (if you come to this blog), then you should at least own a copy of A Course in Miracles and you should be reading the daily lessons every single day. You should not miss a day. THAT’S THE MINIMUM THAT IS ASKED OF YOU.
An online teacher who writes a daily blog called Gorgeous for God is probably not the most effective way to disrupt your old fear-based thought system.
But you have A Course in Miracles, and that’s all you need.
Your progress is really going to have to depend on you.
You need vigilance to stay present.
You need someone who keeps you on your toes, and who does not let you relax, and who has the ability to hold your attention in the present moment.
That’s the Holy Spirit.
You have an internal guide who is with you wherever you go … and now you have me if you need additional help.
There’s a whole list of links over there in the right sidebar, of teachers that can help you.
I had a teacher who pounded these workbook lessons into my head, every day for 7 years. He would quiz us: WHAT’S TODAY’S LESSON??? DID YOU DO IT?
Some people thought he was a little rough around the edges. They thought he should be kinder and more gentle. They thought a spiritual teacher/leader was supposed to be compassionate and “loving.”
I can’t think of anything worse.
I asked for a teacher who had the ability to shake the sleep off me. To wake me from dark nightmare. Hugs and kisses and flowers were not going to do it for me. I never wanted the “let’s all get together and talk about our feelings” kind of group. Blah! I wanted to know there is no world. I wanted to know the truth. I wanted to wake up. I knew I needed to be disrupted. I wasn’t interested in sugar-coating my life with nice sounding phrases, by a teacher who made me feel good. NO THANK YOU!!
I wanted a military drill sargeant! Preferably a Marine!

I wanted a teacher that challenged me.
I asked and I received.
I didn’t need someone to make me feel good. I needed someone who could push me past my comfort zone.
I wanted to know what it meant to live without sickness.
Period.
“Sickness is a decision.”
HUH???????
I wanted to see that with my own eyes. I wanted to see that “time is an illusion.”
I wasn’t interested in having a good time, or having more friends, or being part of a fun group. I was interested in waking up.
And so, the best I can ask of you – at this point in time – is to do the lessons. DO THEM.
Go get the book right now. What else do you have going on that is so important? Go get your book and read your daily lesson. If you already read it once today, read it again.
You need constant reinforcement.
And if you don’t have A Course in Miracles yet, then buy it now.
Buy Gorgeous for God.
Of course, you don’t need these books at all if you can accept the truth about yourself in this moment. I find that most people have no clue how to do this. So I’m here to help. If there is sickness (doubt, pain, suffering) in your life, then there is still work to be done.
I’m telling you that it doesn’t take time.
Here is a “healing prayer”, to “help us rise above defensiveness, and let truth be as it has always been:
Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.”
TODAY!
You are healed of sickness as you accept the truth of who you are! That’s it.
Look at how simple this is.
“Healing will flash across your open mind, as peace and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no dark corners sickness can conceal, and keep defended from the light of truth. There will be no dim figures from your dreams, nor their obscure and meaningless pursuits with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your mind. It will be healed of all sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the body to obey.
“Now the is the body healed, because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. And you will recognize your practiced well by this: The body should not feel at all. It you have been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No response at all in in the mind to what the body does. It’s usefulness remains and nothing more.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it. Love it. Love it.
If you:
1. let your mind harbor attack thoughts
2. yield to judgment or
3. make plans against uncertainties to come …
… YOU HAVE AGAIN MISPLACED YOURSELF, AND MADE A BODY IDENTITY WHICH WILL ATTACK THE BODY, FOR THE MIND IS SICK.
Give instant remedy, should this occur, by not allowing your defensiveness to hurt you any longer.
Do not defend yourself.
Do not be confused about what must be healed, but tell yourself:
“I have forgotten what I really am, for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth. But I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I can not be sick.”
