Is There Healing in the Atonement? is the Wrong Question.
The "atonement" properly occurs at the beginning of our death, which is the "life" we are living. The atonement occurred when we gave up our life as God to become man in this death of memory. Each of us, in every state we find ourselves, are Christ who atoned himself to man. We sacrificed ourselves to save man, whom we have annexed. Repentance is a remembering of that sacrifice and getting things back in the right order; we are NOT the man, we are the spirit of God IN him.
Our real lives inside are God. That is what Jacob is to Esau, our inner man in relation to our outer man. Jacob, the inner man in the ignorance we begin our lives in, becomes Israel: the inner man having realized its Godhood ruling as man. Godhood and healing are ours not because of the atonement, but because we are God. Healing is, if anything, a "Yup. Yes, you are," acknowledgement by the Ineffable that we are right in assuming our oneness with him.
The promises of God are true and for us because we are the one who made them to us!
