Here are some useful insights based on A course in miracles

PERCEPTION IS FOR THE SEPARATED WORLD, OR IMPROVED PERCEPTION OF IT,
THERE IS NO PERCEPTION IN THE UNIFIED WORLD, THERE IS ONLY KNOWLEDGE IN GOD
YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IN UNION/HEAVEN AND KNOW
You have wish for separation from union/God.
IN SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS YOU SEE WITH PHYSICAL EYES AND SEE THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE
That is, you see with the ego’s eyes, you wish to maintain separation.
IN HOLY RELATIONSHIPS YOU SEE WITH THE EYES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SEE THE LIGHT WORLD
You forgive, that is, ignore the matter-based world, you see with Christ vision/ spiritual eyes
WHAT IS SICKNESS? IT IS TO PERCEIVE YOU AND OTHER PEOPLE AS SEPARATED SELVES IN BODIES
WHAT IS HEALING? IT IS TO CORRECT YOUR PERCEPTION AND NOW SEE YOU AND PEOPLE AS THE UNIFIED SON OF GOD
SICKNESS IS IN THE MIND THAT MISPERCEIVES REALITY AND WHEN THAT MIND IS HEALED BY PERCEIVING THE TRUTH, SEE ALL AS UNIFIED SPIRIT, THE BODY IT HAD PROJECTED ITS SICKNESS TO IS AUTOMATICALLY HEALED; YOU MUST FIRST HEAL THE MIND, MAKE IT PERCEIVE PROPERLY BEFORE HEALING THE BODY BUT THE EGO CONCENTRATES ON HEALING THE BODY BUT NOT THE MIND WHERE THE SICKNESS LIES HENCE THE EGO CANNOT HEAL
If one is physically sick, this means that one’s mind is sick, is not perceiving the sons of God correctly, is seeing them as separated from one; one is healed when one corrects one’s perception, sees separation as an illusion and see people as parts of the one unified son of God; this entails forgiving them what they did to one for one now sees what they did as done in their and one’s dream of separation, an illusion; in truth all people are always unified in spirit.
Since Helen Schucman, Bill Thetford, Kenneth Wapnick and the other founders of the A course in miracles movement died from physical disorders it means that their minds were not yet healed; they were still misperceiving the truth and projecting their sickness to their bodies and died; death is the final illusion.
Since I have always had physical issues, it means that my mind is sick, that I accepted separation from God and have not forgiven the world and see all of us as the one unified son of God; I am projecting my mental sickness of separation to my body and making my body sick to avoid the awareness of where the sickness is, in my mind.
I must return to union, love and God through forgiveness and seeing all people, me included as parts of one unified spirit self and love them all; this is what would heal my mind and my healed mind results in my healed body.
I would live in a healed body until I have done the work I came to do, forgive people and hence overcome separation, and then either lay the body down, let it die, as in death or use my mind to make it disappear and I see me in the body of light that I and the Holy Spirit made to replace the body of matter I and other sons of God made to live as separated self.
MY VOCATION IN THIS LIFETIME IS TO ACCEPT MY SON OF GOD STATUS AND LIVE IT
I am born to realize God in this lifetime; I cannot avoid it; whatever else I do will not work for me until I do the needful and know that I am the son of God, as all of us are. If I look for other types of jobs, I will not get them because at the deep level all people know what I came to do and will not help me waste my time by doing something else; they themselves are in deep sleep and are satisfied with doing ego work but their highest self-know who is not here to do ego work.
FORGIVENESS
My vocation is to accept that we are all sons of God, forgive us our mistakes by knowing that the mistakes were necessary because we identified as separated selves, each of us protecting his ego and body’s interests at the expense of other people’s interests.
I must accept that the world is a dream, an illusion; I and all of us currently live in the dream, the illusion that we are walking around in space, time and matter, none of which exist.
FALSE IDENTITY AS EGO SEPARATED SELVES
We all have false identity; the entire physical universe was designed by us to have this false identity as separated selves in bodies walking around in space and time. We designed the universe and things in it to attack our vulnerable bodies and thus generate fear of death in us; this is because we think that we are bodies and that bodies allegedly produced our consciousness; no, consciousness produced the ego and the material universe.
WE OVERCOME SELF DOUBT WHEN WE JETTISON THE EGO AND ACCEPT OUR TRUE SELF, SON OF GOD
If one accepts one’s true identity as the immortal, eternal, permanent and changeless son of God, as part of God’s unified spirit self and mind one no longer has doubt as to who one is.
Doubt is of the ego because no matter what you do to see you as an ego separated self, a part of you knows that it is not who you are hence you live in doubt; accept the son of God status, love and return to union with God and doubt vanishes from your mind.
You would no longer be trying to seem a very important ego and body in a silly attempt to make the ego and body seem worthwhile, they do not have worth, only the son of God has worth, and significance because it is rooted in union with all sons of God and God and in it you do not seek to seem important in other people’s eyes, for you all are important in God, importance given to you by God not by your separated mind.
IT IS NOW TIME FOR ME TO HAVE THE COURAGE OF MY CONVICTIONS
Aside from fear and ego driven defiant behavior, I have not really acted on the courage of my convictions; it is now time to do so; take a stand on what is right and behave accordingly regardless of what other people say or do.
For example, I am opposed to unjust wars and must never be in the military or encourage anyone to be in the military to go fight unjust wars.
There are some just wars, such as when folks attack you or your group; in such wars one is obligated to participate in it and not be afraid of death.
If an African leader arises and uses the military to unify all black Africa into one federation that is a just war, for it is designed to eliminate wars in Africa and bring about good governance in Africa.
