Question 6

List the four healing steps.

Answer 6

1. A LITTLE WILLINGNESS
   I must look at how miserable specialness makes me feel, question every value I hold, and leave every illusion behind. Recognise that my plan doesn’t work, and I need help.
2. WORKING MIRACLES - extending love to others.
   I let the help in! I choose a holy purpose! Forgiveness. This is not done by me… it is done by the Holy Spirit. I allow the Christ in me to see the holiness/Christ in my brother.
3. HEALING THE MIND OF OTHERS.
   I am shown with Christ vision, my brother’s holiness which heals his mind. He, gratefully in return, then sees my holiness.
4. MY HEALING - I ACCEPT THE ATONEMENT FOR MYSELF
   I am healed as my brother sees me as holy. I experience myself as love, loving and loved.

Question 7

What is the holy instant.

Answer 7

When I release the past and future, an instant of no separation from God or my brothers is given me.
The holy instant is the end of time now, the real world of safety, love and joy, when my mind is at peace with itself.

Question 8

Which of four healing steps do I need to take?

Answer 8

Step 1. A LITTLE WILLINGNESS
I recognise how miserable specialness makes me feel and that my plan for salvation doesn’t work. I recognise that I WANT to heal. The rest is done for me.
