You can fix the body and still suffer.
Why?
“I am never upset for the reason I think.” ACIM W 5.

ACIM also tells us that sickness is a defense against the truth. But that idea can be easy to misunderstand.
It does not mean the body does not seem to be affected. It means the real source of suffering is not the condition itself, but the meaning we have assigned to it. We have been taught to fear what happens to the body, yet fear does not come from the event itself. It comes from the interpretation.
But if we look more closely, we can begin to see that interpretation is not the deepest level. Underneath it is a hidden belief that we are the body, and that the body is what we are. From that belief, it seems that we must achieve specific, predetermined outcomes in order to be happy. As a result, we live in a constant state of fear.
When that belief about what you are begins to change, your interpretation changes as well. And when interpretation changes, your experience changes, even if the external form does not. That is where healing truly begins.
There is a deeper layer to this that is not always obvious at first glance, but once seen, it changes how you experience everything.
How do you understand this idea?

Question: If sickness is a defense against the truth, what truth could it possibly be hiding?
A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 136 says: "Sickness is a defense against the truth."
If that is true, what truth could it be defending against?
Most of us are conditioned to believe that sickness means something has gone wrong.
It becomes something to fear, something to blame, or something to feel guilty about.
But the Course invites us to look deeper.
Earlier lessons remind us that events themselves are neutral.
If events are neutral, then the disturbance we feel may not come from the event itself but from the meaning we assign to it.
Many of us approach life with what could be called an earner mindset.
An earner believes life is a test.
Things must go right.
Mistakes feel like failure.
When sickness appears, it can easily feel like something has gone wrong.
But what if life is not a test?
What if we are here to learn rather than earn?
A learner approaches the same situation very differently.
Instead of asking,
"Why did this happen to me?"
A learner asks,
"What might this be showing me?"
That shift can lead to deeper questions the Course encourages us to consider.
Am I really a body?
Can sickness actually disturb the peace of what I truly am?
Or could suffering come from the story I attach to events rather than the events themselves?
A Course in Miracles reminds us that we are not fragile bodies struggling to earn worth or redemption.
We are spirit.
God's beloved creation.
And the peace of what we truly are cannot be threatened by events.
I explore this idea further in the video below. It looks at the difference between approaching life as an earner versus a learner and how that shift can completely change the way we experience events such as sickness.

Question:
If sickness is "a defense against the truth," what truth do you think the mind may be trying to defend against?
Can sickness really threaten what we are, or could it be inviting us to reconsider who we believe ourselves to be?

Is sickness bad?

Most of us rarely question that assumption. When the body becomes ill, we naturally assume something has gone wrong.

But A Course in Miracles invites us to look at events very differently.

The Course teaches that events themselves are neutral.

Neutral does not mean that events feel pleasant. Some events feel comfortable, and others feel uncomfortable. But the event itself does not determine our inner state.

What creates our experience is the meaning we give to the event.

Two people can experience the same situation and walk away with completely different experiences because they interpret it differently.

This insight is powerful because it reveals something important about peace.

Peace does not depend on what happens to the body or the world. Peace depends on the interpretation we choose.

So, the deeper question is not simply:

Why did this happen?

But rather:

What meaning am I giving this event right now?

When that question becomes clear, even difficult moments can become opportunities to see what beliefs we are holding about ourselves and the world.

In a related reflection on my Ending Fear page, I explore how the mindset we bring to life can turn neutral events into sources of stress or opportunities for learning.

Are You Doing the ACIM Workbook?

Many students begin the A Course in Miracles Workbook with sincerity and hope, yet struggle to complete it or feel uncertain about the results. Others finish the lessons but wonder why the experience didn’t seem to bring the clarity or peace they expected.

ACIM assures us that reawakening to Truth is guaranteed, yet it also reminds us that each of us walks our own perfect path. The Workbook lessons are designed to provide experiential evidence that helps us choose a new Guide for Truth. They are not meant to be intellectual exercises, nor are they meant to be rushed.

The Workbook itself is divided into two major phases:
• the undoing of the way we currently see
• the acquisition of true perception

The world we experience is a world of perception, not reality.

For those who have done the Workbook before, did your experience live up to that intention?
If not, what do you believe the problem may have been?

The Introduction to the Workbook for Students offers a direct and often overlooked clue:

“A theoretical foundation such as the ACIM text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful. Yet it is doing the exercises that will make the goal of the course possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It is the purpose of this workbook to train your mind to think along the lines the ACIM text sets forth.”
(W-in.1.1–4)

If the lessons did not seem meaningful, it may not be because the Workbook failed, but because the theoretical foundation that gives the exercises meaning was missing. Reading the Text is not the same as understanding it. This distinction may be central.

If you are beginning the Workbook now, or revisiting it, you may find the notes in Understanding A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons helpful in providing that missing framework.

Below is the verbatim note from that book for Workbook Lesson 1.

Notes to Lesson #1

Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything.

Do this exercise and notice your reaction to this idea.
Did certain items invoke different reactions?
Was it easy, or did some objects create a state of tension or disbelief?

Just note your response and move on to the next item.
Have fun with the experience and stop judging whether you are doing it “right” or getting the “right” answer. It is being and having the experience that we are after.

Some students may find the notion that nothing you see means anything to be very upsetting. You see a picture of a loved one and emotions well up. How can that picture be meaningless? Yet if someone else observed that same picture, they would have an entirely different reaction. The picture is the same, so why the different reaction?

Because each observer has a different interrelationship with that picture. It is the observer’s own mind that gives the meaning to the picture, not the item itself.

The world you observe is a world of perception, not one of physical reality.
Perception requires the belief in separation. It implies both an observer and something to observe. This duality and separation is an underlying assumption in all perception.

If there were nothing outside yourself to observe, what would there be to see?

When we realize this, we begin to recognize that an item by itself means nothing unless you are there to observe it. Without your awareness, it would not appear on your radar screen. It is your mind that empowers the object with whatever meaning it seems to have.

This is similar to the question: If a tree falls and there is nothing to hear it, does it make a sound?
The answer is no. Sound requires interaction.

It is your interaction with your perceived world that gives meaning to what you see. A rock may have existed for millions of years, but until you choose to place your conscious attention upon it, that rock means nothing to you. Meaning arises through relationship.

Questions to consider:
Who is really in control over the meaning of what is observed?
Is it the object or the observer that gives the meaning that seems to be true?
Must both agree on that meaning, or can they differ?

This is Tom Wakechild.
Create a great day for yourself and your world.
Namaste.

Do you believe this statement is true?

“There is nobody to fix.
There is nobody to change.
There is nobody to control.
There is nobody to protect.
There is nobody to impress.
There is nobody.
God is, and You are that One.”

If this were true, it would challenge much of what we believe about ourselves, our struggles, and our relationship with God.

The final workbook lessons of A Course in Miracles (Lessons 361–365) quietly address this question, not as abstract philosophy, but as a lived experience meant to be practiced beyond words.

I recently shared a study post exploring how these final lessons point beyond fear, guilt, and separation toward a deeper understanding of who we truly are, and why understanding both the theory and the practical application of the workbook matters.

In this video, we explore your relationship and connection to God through the eyes of A Course in Miracles’ final workbook lessons.
Do you believe this statement is true?
There is nobody to fix.
There is nobody to change.
There is nobody to control.
There is nobody to protect.
There is nobody to impress.
There is nobody.
God is, and you are that One.
If this were true, how different would your life feel?
What truly is your connection to God?
A Course in Miracles’ final workbook lessons have something to say about this.
If you began the ACIM workbook lessons at the start of the year, you may now be approaching the Final Lessons, which cover Lessons 361 to 365. These lessons are not five separate practices, but one sustained invitation meant to be lived for the remainder of the year.
The excerpt below comes from Understanding A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons. You may find it helpful as you explore the questions raised above.
Although I have quoted from this book’s explanatory notes in past posts, the book does much more. It presents each workbook lesson in full, replacing unclear pronouns with explicit terms so the meaning is easier to follow and cross-reference with the Foundation for Inner Peace second edition, often called the “Blue Book.”
It also helps avoid the level confusion that many students experience by identifying the level of reality each lesson is addressing. The accompanying notes reveal deeper layers of meaning and, most importantly, explain why each exercise is being asked of you.
The Course itself states that without understanding the theory behind the workbook lessons, you will gain little benefit from doing them. Without that understanding, the lessons can feel illogical, meaningless, or even absurd. This is why many students never begin, never complete, or quietly abandon the workbook altogether.
This need not be so.
The notes in this book provide the missing theory and practical context that allow the workbook to become what it was always intended to be: a living, transformative experience rather than an abstract spiritual exercise.
Without actually doing the lessons, A Course in Miracles can remain an intellectual philosophy that is beautiful and inspiring, yet distant. With understanding and practice combined, it becomes personal, practical, and life changing.
Students consistently find that with this book they are able to complete the workbook lessons and experience a level of peace and clarity they had not previously known. This world becomes a classroom, or your play school, for remembering, demonstrating, and reawakening to your true spiritual nature.
You are not alone in this process. Follow your Inner Guide, the Holy Spirit, and join with others who are choosing to reclaim their spiritual inheritance. Jon Mundy provides the book’s foreword.
So if you are doing, have done, or are planning to do A Course in Miracles workbook lessons, I encourage you to explore Understanding A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons as a companion for that journey.
If you would like your own copy, you can find the Amazon link in the post below.
Because the Introduction to the Workbook’s Final Lessons 361 to 365 is only six paragraphs long, I have included the audio of the lesson text along with its accompanying note in this video to help illustrate the depth and intent of these final lessons.
This is Tom Wakechild, asking you to create a great day for yourself and your world.
Namaste.
Introduction to Workbook Lessons # 361 to-365
W.fl.in.1.Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. 2 We use words but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond words. 3 Let us turn to the Holy Spirit Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. 4 To the Holy Spirit we leave these lessons, as to the Holy Spirit we give our lives henceforth. 5 For we would not return again to the ego’s belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all the world’s fear-based ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain.
W.fl.in.2.The Holy Spirit is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. 2 It is the Holy Spirit’s way that everyone must travel in the end to reach the peace of God, because it is this peaceful ending God Himself appointed. 3 In the dream of time the Holy Spirit’s way seems to be far off. 4 And yet, in truth, the Holy Spirit’s way is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go toward peace. 5 Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. 6 And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way of the Holy Spirit, but find it not.
W.fl.in.3.And to this purpose of following and leading in the Holy Spirit’s way let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. 2 Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. 3 Forgiveness of the world is the goal that God has given us. 4 Forgiveness of the world is God’s ending to the dream we seek, and not the dream ending in our own ego’s condemnation of ourselves and the world. 5 For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. 6 And thus God’s memory is given back, completely and complete.
W.fl.in.4.It is our function to remember God on earth, as our function is given us to be God’s Own completion in reality. 2 So let us not forget our goal of completing God that is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to God and to the Heaven of the peace of God. 3 And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this completion and remembrance of God to us? 4 Our brother is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. 5 In our brother resides salvation. Salvation is offered us through our forgiveness, given unto our brother.
W.fl.in.5.We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. 2 We are forgiven now. 3 And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found the wrath of God was a dream. 4 We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. 5 We have been saved from wrath because we learned our egoic mind was mistaken. 6 Nothing more than that for mistakes are not sins. 7 And is a father angry at his son because the son failed to understand the truth about his sinless and innocent reality?
W.fl.in.6.We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand the truth and ask God to help us to learn God’s lessons for truth, through the Voice of God’s Own Teacher, the Holy Spirit. 2 Would God hurt His Son? 3 Or would God rush to answer His Son, and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? 4 Be certain God will answer thus, for these are God’s Own words to you that all God has, has been given eternally to you. 5 And more than the all that God has given you can no one ever have, for in these words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity.
Note to Introduction to Final Lessons # 361 to365
Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for this is the only way one can find the peace of God. Your ego is clueless as to the truth and has mistaken the dream of lack, limitation, and separation to be your reality. Instead, give all your thoughts over to the Holy Spirit and focus upon the salvation of your brother. Since the Law of God states that to give is to receive, by recognizing our brother’s sinless nature, we reawaken to our own true nature as our big “S” Self.
Our aim is to forgive the world that our ego imagines. In time, forgiveness is the function and goal God has given us to fulfill. All that we forgive is recognized as part of God and therefore, through our forgiveness of our world we remember God. Our function is to remember God on earth and through this remembrance complete the reality of God. Grace is the acceptance of the love of God in a world of seeming hate and fear. Through our forgiveness, we transform the fear-based world of egoic misperception into a world of forgiveness, mercy, and love.
Our salvation rests in our brother’s salvation. When we forgive our brother, we realize that God’s wrath existed only within the nightmare of our egoic mind’s imagination. We have always remained as God created us, perfect, whole and complete, part of the OneSelf. We understand that anger is insane, attack madness and vengeance a foolish fantasy. Following our ego’s fear-based thought system has only brought pain, conflict and self-condemnation. By turning our thoughts over to the Holy Spirit, we realize that our ego’s misperceptions were mere mistakes that require correction, not punishment.
When we recognize sin’s nonexistence, we are free to drop our allegiance to our ego’s judgments and misperceptions and follow the Voice for love and forgiveness. By following the Holy Spirit’s thought system, we are restored to sanity. Our split mind is healed and our big “S” Self remembered. Our ego’s judgments and beliefs give way to the Holy Spirit’s correct perception.
Our healed mind is now able to hear God’s Voice say that we are God’s one Son and all God has belongs to us, His Son. Being God’s Creation, we are an inseparable extension of the Mind of God Himself. All that God is has been given unto us and thus, we can want for nothing. We accept the truth of the At-One-Ment for ourselves and are restored to sanity. Our mind is now awake and will sleep no more.

Notes to Special Theme #14: What AM I?
Covers ACIM Workbook Lessons 351–360
In truth, there is just the One Self. You are an indivisible part of that One. The Father is Cause. The Son is the Father’s Effect. The Holy Spirit is the link that connects the two sides of one indivisible coin called God. There is no separation for in that Trinity there is just a Oneness of All That Is.
Yet, within our split minds that perceive rather than know, we think in terms of duality and therefore, see ourselves as God’s Creation, an Effect of the Thought of God. As such, you are God’s Son, complete, healed and whole. You are a reflection of God’s eternal love. In you, love is perfected, fear impossible and joy established without opposite. You are the completion of God.
As the Christ, you are perfect, whole and complete. You are the home of God, holy and sinless as God Himself. In time, you help the Holy Spirit reawaken sleeping minds that currently look upon a sinful world that requires redemption. Through your forgiveness, you save your world. Through your forgiveness, you reawaken sleeping minds to the truth that they, like you, are the Christ.
We are the messengers of God and speak for God with love in our hearts. We have changed our egoic mind from fear-based thinking to the realization that we are only love. Now, endowed with the vision of Christ, we see the world free of all thoughts of sin and recognize everything as kind and good. In time, we are the bringers of salvation. Yet, in Heaven, we will disappear into the heart of God and remain eternally one with the indivisible One Self.
In time, our purpose is to change our world of perception from a witness for the false to a witness for the truth. Because of our minds’ erroneous beliefs about the existence of lack, limitation, sin and separation, our minds have created a false ego for everything that it envisions. Time allows us to correct those erroneous beliefs about ourselves and our world. Since time provides us the opportunity to change our minds, we can now deliberately choose to see all God’s creations as innocent, sinless and forever one with God. God and the Holy Spirit know the world as sinless. Who are we to argue with God and defend our mind’s belief in fear?
Fear arises any time we believe that we lack the creative power to handle a given situation. Whenever we fail to answer either of the following two questions correctly, fear will raise its ugly head.
The first question is. What am I?
The second question is. What do I value and why?
Previously, we discussed the second question. What do I value and why? We said that the miracle temporarily corrects your mind’s mistaken answers to either of the two above questions. The Holy Spirit uses the miracle to reframe your misperception and move your mind from victim consciousness to responsibility consciousness and the truth.
Obviously, if you fail to see yourself as Christ, perfect, whole and complete, you have answered the first question, what am I, incorrectly. Because of this, you will find yourself in a state of constant fear.
When you perceive that you are a limited ego-body with needs, you will value something because you will believe that obtaining that item will make or improve your safety, survival or happiness. As long as an item is perceived to be something outside of your mind’s control, you will continue to see yourself as a victim.
In the illusion of time, you have come here to reawaken to the truth that you are not the body but are free. You are still as God created you, part of the indivisible One Self. Nothing sources your individuated experience but you and nothing has the ability to rob you of your inner peace unless you choose to allow it. In time and space, your mind rules your world of perception.
In this playschool of time, you are an infinite focus of consciousness. You are a feedback loop that can witness the effects of the choices that you are making in the depth of your mind that rests within the Mind of God. Therefore, each thought is a vibration of creation to communicate to the world in an attempt to experience communion with all life. This feedback loop provides the learning experiences that you desire.
In reality you are perfect spirit, unaffected by anything. You have been given the full power to choose and to create your experiences as you would have them be. You are not the egoic part of your mind that perceives itself to be a little “s” self. Instead, you are 100% responsible for your feelings and all that you call into your awareness. Your mind gives all the meaning to your world through its power of interpretation.
You are the creator of your world of perception. You are the decision-maker that determines what you desire to call into your awareness. You write the mental program that determines the beliefs that will govern how you will interact with life.
You, as decision-maker, ask the question, “What am I?” You, as the decision-maker then fill in the answer. The answer to the question, “What am I?” forms the basis for your beliefs that become the thought system which governs and limits what you believe you are and how you are capable of relating to your world.
Your ego is your current answer to the question, what am I. The ego, like a computer, can only run programs. A computer has no power to write the program. Yet, when we choose to forget that our mind originally decided to write the program that became our ego, it will appear as if our mind is powerless to control our experiences.
It will seem as if you are a victim of outside powers that are beyond your mind’s control. Yet, these experiences are the natural effect of which mental programs you choose to write and run. You have just failed to remember that your mind writes, holds, runs and projects the images that comprise your private world of individuated perception.
These images seem to be caused by some mysterious external force. Yet, it is your mind that is projecting these images. It is the same mind that forgot it ran the program that also made the observation. Forgetting that your mind is the computer operator, it appears that the events being viewed on the screen of consciousness have no relationship with your mind. You now believe that you can only respond to what you observe on the screen of consciousness rather than simply choosing to run a different program.
By deciding to forget that you control the mental input, your faulty memory leads you into victim consciousness. Only when you remember that you are the decision-maker can you realize that you also have the power to choose differently. You can choose differently by deciding to stop arguing for your littleness and instead follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit Who knows the correct answer to the question, what am I.
Why not make that decision today?

12/15/2025

UNDERSTANDING A COURSE IN MIRACLES — TEACHING POST (FINAL)

What do you think choosing again really means?

“Choose once again.”
Understanding A Course in Miracles, T-31.VIII

When A Course in Miracles tells us that we can choose again, it is not simply asking us to replace a prior response or thought with a different, perhaps less fearful one. On a bigger-picture level, it is inviting us to step out of an entire thought system, a thought system built around the beliefs of sin, guilt, and fear.

ACIM teaches that sin, guilt, and fear always travel together. They are inseparable. If sin is believed to be real, guilt must follow, and where guilt is found, fear is inevitable.

Choosing again, then, is not merely about managing fear. It is about questioning the belief in lack, limitation, and separation — the belief that something is fundamentally wrong with us.

At its core, choosing again is a decision about self-identity.

Who am I?

Are we the body, defined by past mistakes, reactions, and conditioning?
Or are we Mind or Spirit, learning through personal experience the never-ending, unalterable truth that we remain as God created us?

The Course is clear that bodily reactions and emotional responses often arise automatically. They are learned patterns. They belong to the past. They are not sins. They do not define us.

That is why ACIM’s invitation is a simple and radical one:

“Choose once again.”
Understanding A Course in Miracles, T-31.VIII

This is not a command. It is an offering of freedom from bo***ge to our belief in sin, guilt, and fear.

Choosing again means we do not have to carry the past forward. It means we are not required to drag old decisions, old interpretations, or old self-judgments into the present moment. What we once believed, how we once reacted, or what we once misunderstood does not condemn us. It teaches us.

The Course does not ask us to deny our experiences. It asks us to reinterpret them without guilt.

Forgiveness, in this sense, is not something we do to make the past disappear or become more palatable. It is the recognition that the past has no authority over who we are now. We release everyone — including ourselves — from the prison of our own unforgiving mind.

Forgiveness is the willingness to say:
This was a learning moment, not a verdict.

Space-time is a playschool that allows us to rediscover, demonstrate, and reawaken to the truth of what we really are. It is the game board where we can imagine something we are not — and where mid-course correction becomes possible.

The game token we call the physical body may react, but it does not decide our true identity. The past may present its story, but our egoic thought system does not have to define our present. As the decision-maker, you get to choose how you will respond and which story you choose to believe becomes your experience. Decisions are always made at the level of mind.

To choose again is to withdraw our belief that we are a product of our past, or that truth, joy, and inner peace can only be reached in the future. The Course reminds us that truth is available now. Inner peace is restored the moment we are willing to see differently and accept the Atonement for ourselves.

Fear loses its grip when guilt is released. Guilt dissolves when sin is recognized as self-inflicted nonsense. Choosing again is the quiet moment when the mind says:

“I no longer see myself as a victim of lack, limitation, and separation.
I can choose differently.
I can accept this truth.”

“I am not a body. I am free. I am still as God created me. Nothing sources my experience but me, and nothing can cause me to lose my inner peace unless I choose to allow it.”

On a superficial or physical level, choosing again is often interpreted to mean making a different choice among the available options — A instead of B, C, D, or E. Yet choosing A remains an option, and most people will choose A again and again. This is why the ACIM passage below is so pertinent:

Trials are but lessons you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before, now you can make a better one, and thus escape all the pain that what you chose before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity, Christ calls you and gently says, “My brother, choose again.” Christ would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth.
Understanding A Course in Miracles, T-31.VIII.3.1–2

Yet on the mental level, choosing again is a choice between two thought systems: fear or love.

One thought system is built on the belief in lack, limitation, and separation. It breeds the unholy alliance of sin, guilt, and fear. The other recognizes that as unlimited Spirit, you need nothing, lack nothing, and remain an indivisible part of the holographic Mind of God.

On the spiritual big-picture level, choosing again means accepting the truth and rejecting the false. There is no lack, limitation, or separation. As Spirit, we remain as God created us — perfect, whole, and complete. Choosing again ends with the final decision to accept the At-One-Ment for yourself.

The Course tells us the truth is but one decision away.

When will you choose to accept it?
Why not today?
