Healing will flash across our open minds, as truth and peace 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 not be any dim figures from our dreams, any obscure and meaningless pursuits with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in our minds. It will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the body to obey.
Now is the body healed, because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. If we have been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. There is no response in our minds to what the body does. It usefulness remains and nothing more.
This removes the limits we had placed upon the body by purposes we gave to it. The strength the body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The body's health is fully guaranteed, because it is not limited by time, weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws we made it serve before. We do not need to do anything to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.
If we let our minds harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment or make plans against uncertainties to come, we have again misplaced ourselves, and made a bodily identify which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. We must tell ourselves; "We have forgotten what we really are, we mistook our body for ourselves. Sickness is a defense against the truth. We are not a body. Our mind cannot attack. Therefore we cannot be sick."
