No sickness

No situation, no person, no sickness, and no bad news has the power to bring you down and destroy you.  Not when God is by your side.

I read what I wrote over the last few entries and it does sound pretty far off doesn't it?  This idea that we are not actually sick when we feel so sick is a  ridiculous concept to ponder, is it not?  How do we add thoughts like that to the thinking we use everyday.  It doesn't make sense, does it?  I still get tripped up over it.  Like many of you when I read this stuff from spiritual texts and scientific literature I will still shake my head from time to time.   "What do you mean I am not sick? "...  Or worse..."What?  I created this...this is all my doing?  Why would anyone do this to themselves?"

I want to answer those  above questions in simpler terms so as to alleviate all the confusion and guilt/shame that may arise when we ponder this idea. I am only asking that we consider the possibility that mind creates matter. If what we think and believe is a product of the mind and the physical body is matter, is it possible that we control the physiological processes of the body with our minds? Could it be that all illness is only a product of our thinking?

What do you mean I am not really sick?

Simple.  You feel like you are sick.  You think like you are sick.  You are sick!  To the body and mind you are sick.  What if you didn't feel sick; didn't think sick, would you be sick?  Even if in both cases you had the same other imposed diagnosis of a illness? If you feel well are you not well?

Do you believe that you are more than your body and mind?  Do you believe  that there is an invisible part of us that experiences all through our body and mind?  Do you believe that we are moved, breathed, lived by this greater Life force that we may call our soul, spirit, energy, God?  If you do not...then I don't know if this explanation will help.  If you do, however, it will make sense.

We either listen to this Life force or we listen to ego. The ego controls the body and mind only because we let it.  The ego tells us we are sick and we believe it.  So if we listen to ego we feel sick and we think sick...therefore we experience sickness at the level of body and mind. But only at the level of the body and mind.

This Spirit within does not know illness only wellness. It does not experience illness.  So according to It, you are not really sick.  You are well.  You have just created an illusion to satisfy your ego need to keep you small, separated and limited.

What?  I created this...this is all my doing? Why would anyone do this to themselves?

Relax!  You didn't do it consciously.  You did it in your sleep.

Say what crazy lady?

Most of us are sleeping...in the sense...that we are not awake and aware of this vital and powerful energy Spirit and its potential that exists within us.  We have been lulled to sleep by ego and sleep walk our way through a dream state full of limitation, scarcity, fear and illness. We are not conscious enough to realize Spirit's truth...that we cannot be anything but well. We think we are awake when we aren't...we think our dreams are real when they aren't. We think we are sick...when we aren't.

We begin to awaken when we become aware of how we are listening to ego's voice over God's and we choose to seek truth rather than illusion.  Waking up  is a choice....  a choice for truth over illusion; peace over angst;  wellness over illness; connection over separation and Love over fear.

Wellness means we made a choice to wake up!

Is it that easy?

For some of us maybe.  For most of us, no.  We will not always miraculously end all symptoms, all limitations of our perceptions of illness or suffering.  Some of us may still die from them...in the physical sense. But in this knowing that comes with waking up we heal in ways that will save us.  We get to see we are so much more than what we think we are.  We experience wellness in its truest sense. We feel better!

Don't take my word for it.

Wow! Once again I sound like a know-it-all when I know so little.  This is just me testing the waters of a new belief.

Take time to test this belief for yourself. Do not depend on me or others for "truth".  It can only be found with a "feeling" within yourself.  :)

All is well.
