The Holy Spirit has the job of convincing us that we are dreaming and that the body is not real. Very much like in the movie Inception where they used “kicks” to remind the characters they were dreaming, the Holy Spirit uses “kicks” of a sort to help shake us out of our sleep. And this is how healing of the mind, the only level of healing for which we should be concerned, occurs. Jesus teaches in A Course in Miracles that health is inner peace, which is contrary to the human notion that health and sickness have to do with the body. In this world, we have different categories of illness: “physical illness” and “mental illness.” This is just symbolic of how far we have come into a dream. Yet ACIM teaches us that all illness is mental illness. It is make-believe seeing, make-believe feeling, and make-believe hearing that makes up the prevalent idea that we are bodies and that our bodies feel and can be sick or well. But in truth, being completely healed of this false idea is the only way to be released from all suffering.
