See The Light All Around

Mrs. Dresser spoke of there being nothing of themselves in their treatments - that they made themselves mediums to the Healing Power - or rather it was as if she and her patients were both in a room, bright with sun-light & the patient had a thick bandage over her eyes - her work was to remove the bandage and let her see that the light was all around her - that she had only thought, it was dark.

The Role Of Words In Healing

Words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not to the words you use in praying. God does not understand words, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality.

The prayer of the heart does not really ask for concrete things. It always requests some kind of experience, the specific things asked for being the bringers of the desired experience in the opinion of the asker. The words, then, are symbols for the things asked for, but the things themselves but stand for the experiences that are hoped for.

The prayer for things of this world will bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the heart asks for this, this will be given because this will be received. It is impossible that the prayer of the heart remain unanswered in the perception of the one who asks. (ACIM)
