The body cannot heal, because it cannot make itself sick. ²It _needs_ no healing. ³Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives it, and the purpose that the mind would use it for. ⁴It is obvious that a segment of the mind can see itself as separated from the Universal Purpose. ⁵When this occurs the body becomes its weapon, used against this Purpose, to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. ⁶The body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has never said and behaving insanely, being imprisoned _by_ insanity.
