Primary

Healing Healing is the Holy Spirit’s communication; develop it, and it always strengthens.

Pillar

Changelessness ▲ Milestone Healing recognizes the mind’s changelessness; change your mind about mind. Communication ▲ Milestone Healing is the world’s only honest form of communication. Decision Your decision teaches: the body serves separation or communication.

Supporting

Body A neutral body takes on only assigned purpose. Teaching–Learning Teaching occurs at the level of belief; inconsistent behavior cannot heal. Holy Spirit The body’s purpose becomes healing communication when the Holy Spirit decides. Form—Content Behavior can mislead; purpose reveals whether form serves healing or magic. Ego Mind-body confusion: ego claims the body can create and heal. Vision Healing comes from seeing the changeless mind in your brother.

Minor

Fear Fear makes exceptions and breaks healing into fragments. Cause and Effect Choose the teacher, and effects in body and world follow. Giving / Receiving Gratitude to a brother reveals the equal gift. Magic Specialness turns “healing” into a way to weaken and separate. Sickness The unhealed healer learns what sickness teaches. Creation / Extension The impulse to create survives every ego attempt to misassign it. Joining Communion is mind-sharing: the light you accept extends and heals. Oneness One Mind is everywhere and unchanged. Love Love makes no exceptions; true healing appreciates the altar in everyone.

Echo

Specialness Healing isn’t a special gift; specialness turns it into magic. Memory of God Joined remembrance makes forgetting the Father impossible. Sonship The light you give is given to the whole Sonship, appreciated only as one. Separation Fear dissociates; healing quietly restores integration. Invulnerability Minds can join but cannot injure; bodies are confused causes. Scarcity Principle Ego increase by deprivation is exposed as false gain. Kingdom The Kingdom increases through your creations; deprivation is ego logic. Idols Fear turns images into idols and calls them dangerous. Illusions Bodies share forms; minds share meaning—communion is not physical. Altar Learn to see the altar of God in everyone.
