親愛的朋友，
你若想要帶給弟兄一份治癒的禮物，你必須給他一個比他目前所顯示出來還要好一點的自我觀念；若想做到這一點，你必須甘心放棄你心目中對他認定的看法。
心靈的治癒需要一種「衡量的標竿」經驗，那是小我的認知領域裡所沒有，也不知從何去找的東西。因此，「心靈治癒」這個禮物，不是你們憑自己的本事就能給自己或給別人的。
然而，這種治癒依舊會發生，它的出現向你啟示了一個事實，就是：當你願意釋放掉你對他的觀感，他才可能將自己的真實面目啟示給你。這個啟示所蘊含的愛的行動與經驗，遠遠超過你們兩人對自己與彼此的評估。這個經驗不只會徹底改變他，同時也改變了你。
這並不是一般人所謂的「積極思考」，因它超越了思想層面。它也不是專治罪惡、疾病與死亡的一套「形上療法」，而是，它開啟了神聖的慧眼。在那慧眼下，真神無所不包且無所不在的愛，讓你明白了，原來根本沒有什麼罪過、疾病與死亡需要治療的，那麼你的兄弟或姊妹便可說是痊癒了。
「心靈治癒」不過證實了一件事：有個人自願地替另一個人在他充滿內疚的心裡，為他看出自己原本純潔無罪的真相。它越過那慣於懲罰的正義，恢復了那人的清白，這是因為他已邀請了「聖愛」插手其間，對方的圓滿真相才可能顯現出來。
那個聖愛通常會頻頻催促著你給他平常你不太能給自己的那一種仁慈待遇，這一經驗會幫你發現，你在他身上所發掘出來的純潔真相，原來也是你自己的真相，沒有任何力量比得上聖愛之手的治癒效果。
今天就開始從生活的小事上，試著用純潔無罪的眼光去看自己的弟兄姊妹吧！讓他的純潔本性得以呈現於你眼前，那不只治癒了他，還會治癒了你自己的。
Dear friends,
In order to gift your brother with healing, you must provide him with a better perception of himself than that which he is presently embodying. And in order to do that, you must be willing to abandon whatever perception you are currently holding about him.
Healing involves the experience of a "measuring stick" not present in, and not available to, the ego frame of reference, and therefore healing amounts to a gift which neither one of you has the personal capacity to give to yourself or each other. Yet, healing occurs. And its occurrence demonstrates that when you are willing to release him from your current concept of him in order to let the Truth of him be revealed to you, the revelation constitutes an act/experience of Love which transcends the best concepts either of you have about him . . . transforming him, and you as well.
This is not "positive thinking." It is beyond thought. It is not metaphysical "treatment" of sin, disease and death. It is the uncovering of Vision in which God's Allness and God's Love discloses no sin, disease and death to be treated, and your brother says, "I'm healed."
Healing is the evidence of someone standing in receipt of another's willingness to see innocence beyond where guilt holds reign, exoneration beyond where justice called for punishment, because Love was invited to reveal the Truth of him.
Often Love impels you to extend to him what you cannot so graciously give to yourself, and in the revelation you discover that the Truth of him is true of you, as well. No one can get beyond the reach of Love's sweet healing touch. No one can stand accused of such atrocities that someone's willingness to see his innocence cannot reveal God's Will has not been thwarted - and that there is no "crime" which calls for suffering or death.
Begin today to find small ways to see your brother through the eyes of innocence, that his might be revealed to you and heal him . . . and you as well.
