The Miracle Worker: A Catalyst to the Natural Miraculous Process of Healing
Annie Sullivan, Helen Keller´s determined teacher in the play, "The Miracle Worker," is misunderstood, denied and even hated by her young blind and deaf pupil. Imprisoned by her limited perception, Helen Keller has no reference for the new world that Annie is attempting to show her. Language, the art of communication in this world, is based completely on the art of association, the ability of the mind to associate meaning with an idea. Helen could form the letters in her hand, and she could identify the idea of water, but she could not correlate a relationship between the two. On her own, she could not infer two seemingly different experiences as one and the same. Without the recognition that she could associate with a new meaning beyond her own, Helen was locked alone in a world of darkness and silence. Yet, initially, Helen misinterpreted as attack and sacrifice all of Annie´s attempts to communicate with Helen from a reference beyond her blind and mute orientation.
Similarly, we too, limited by our own narrow reference of sensory perception, tend to crucify our savior. We defend ourselves from a larger perspective that is our natural inheritance by remaining locked to an old reference. Jesus, in His Course in Miracles, reminds us that our "cues for inference are wrong." From the first lesson of the Course, we are taught "nothing I see means anything." Yet, when we find ourselves apparently injured or diseased, we are not apt to really believe Jesus when he says, "Pain is a wrong perspective." I need a "miracle worker" who, in spite of my resistance, will consistently direct me to a new association of meaning for my mistaken perception. Somewhere I require an experience that frees me from my own insistence that suffering and death are a requirement of "life."
Enter the Master Teacher of A Course In Miracles: An enlightened mind; A disrupter of my assumption of what I think is true; A transmission of the frequency of resurrection; A denier of death and a reminder of life; A free radical that associates with any idea and unlocks my incomplete reference by expanding it to an experience of universal totality. Is this healing? Yes. Is this physical as well as emotional and conceptual? Yes. Is this what enlightened religious masters call transfiguration? Certainly. Are we apt to misidentify our savior because we don’t recognize his reference? Without a doubt. Who is he but our Whole Self.
Master Teacher expands me past my handicapped reference to a new world by teaching me that transformation is a re-association of my body identity. He becomes a physical demonstration of the Universal Adaptability that is the healing essence of the Holy Spirit. He reminds me through my own experience "that every single cell in [my] body is a complete enfoldment of the Universal Reality of the entire cosmos…Every organ in [my] body…longs for the freedom of [my] ultimate experience."
Can this property of resurrection be learned by the "mind of the cells" through mind-training and physical transformation? The Master Teacher teaches "the activity of the possibility of the conversion of our cells through the instantaneous realization that there is a new you waiting for you."
