BUILT-IN HEALING

When someone first experiences the gifts from Living on the Spiritual Basis, it is natural to want more. In short order we begin to reach beyond our understanding, seeking in prayer to accomplish things that are contrary to the path. Naturally, the answer to these requests is silence. God never says no, for no does not exist in the vocabulary of the Divine. Many confuse God’s inaction with his passing judgment in the negative, which is not possible. To be clear: God never says no, but the Universe will not grant a request that is not wholly positive to all concerned. The real trouble begins when we, in our limited vision and understanding, try to read the tealeaves, to understand the infinite with our finite vision. The questions that naturally abound here are legion. How could a “loving” God allow: suffering innocents, financial troubles, debilitating illness, and on and on. In the midst of pain and/or loss it is difficult to keep perspective, that we are in fact eternal beings, this flesh a mere conveyance of our consciousness. That you have always existed and always will, this day a single day in eternity, Our Father, Divine Mind, not limited in vision as we are in this flesh.

On a personal note: I am as limited as you, my vision restricted by this flesh like yours. A sick, suffering child or loved one, pain and grief rained down on innocents often seemingly for no reason, leaves me as heart sick as you. Nevertheless, I cannot get sad enough to help the suffering. I cannot get sick enough to help the dying. I cannot get poor enough to help those who lack. I cannot meet hate with hate and hope for peace. What we can, and must, do is pray to the best of our current ability and understanding and trust that one day all mysteries will be revealed.

Each day practice the Presence of God in all your affairs. Pray to be shown the way of patience, tolerance, kindness and love, daily. Pray as well for those suffering, asking in meditation what you can do each day to be of service and leave the results to God. In this simple way the universe responds, God’s will realized, true healing manifest. If we can do this, even trembling, keep an even mind though our spirit may be breaking, we touch the heart of faith and are renewed.
