Fear and Chaos of Change



All of us get into some kind of fear.  This is one of the hardest states of mind of change.  At least that has been true of me.  As a child I could spend more time worrying, then resolving whatever it was that I was facing.   I do not think that I am complete with this lesson.   When friends tell me they don't worry, I usually wonder what kind of happy grass they might be  smoking or in jesting.

Living with a program of recovery for the last 24 years, I am happily sober and realize that the most important part of my day is my spiritual journey through life.  The worries do come, but now my tool is to recognize that I am not in control of future events and through prayer and meditation, I can control my thinking to know that "this too, will pass".   This is not an easy accomplishment, but with some kind of support mechanism, you too can work on this problem. 

We are living in a world of change now and moving into the Aquarian Age.  When I was given this message about 30 years ago, I was told that this was the spiritual ride of a lifetime, but that it would be difficult.  The difficulty for me is controlling my thinking, and to not get into a crazy form of fear.  For you that still drink and use, be cautious, as alcohol creates depression and brings on more fear.  So, you could be working yourself into a frenzy over nothing.  Marijuana gives off a false sense of euphoria then gently shuts down your ability for sober reasoning, and literally puts you into a stupor of nothingness.   This is not the spiritual solution to solving your problems, it is creating more of them.  Sort of like a slow death.  

I do not judge this at all.  I too would read at night with a glass of wine and then spin off into crazies with a case of the "what ifs?".   It took me a while to stop this little habit.  I wish all of you luck on your journey with substance abuse. 

About the change for those of your that are interested in self healing, facing fear, and dealing with others.   Read on...... You are left with choice.  As far as your destiny is concerned, you path has pretty much been set, but that being said you choice is what to make of your life, and use the best choices to create a much more  harmonious life for yourself.   Life is a lesson or a series of lessons that begin at birth.  Some of us have had rough rides through childhood, and I learned to accept this hurdle as if it was a spiritual lesson.  My truth is that all of us chose, before birth, this journey, and chose exactly those experiences no matter how horrible to teach us lessons.  Facing all of the nightmares that could or did occur in childhood or the very lessons that we have chosen to "un do" takes time and energy.  If not, then prepare to continue repeating these mistakes over and over again.

Understanding How to Heal




One of the simplest to understand, and yet one of the hardest to understand is how to heal your self. 

The body knows how to do this, but it is lacking the full cooperation of your mind.  Both are necessary in order to accomplish this task.  Very simple, but very difficult.  For me, it has been a lifetime of understanding, and I will now share with you that which I have learned.  Yes, the body knows how to heal itself, but the mind or your thinking often gets in the way to nudging this along. 

Disease or "dis ease" is simply being out of balance with your body, mind, and spirit.  When this happens in general sometimes it is years before the actual life threatening sickness or disease occurs.  Cancer is one example of what I am talking about. 

Often, we bring into our life the propensity to have a certain disease as the disease itself is actually a lesson of understanding just exactly what we are bringing on ourselves.  In short, it is a lesson that arrives by our own doing to teach us that we are creating our own mess.   Sometimes, it has been a series of lifetimes that we , as souls, have continued to repeat this disease over and over again.   Many cancer patients exhibit problems of control.  Not being happy with their lives or ones that live around them.  They usually  either run around trying to tell others what to do,  how something should work, or exactly how something should not be.  The lesson here is only that God is in control and we are not in charge of others and their actions.  We have choice, and need to be out of every one's business, but our own.   Cancer can be a by product of this kind of narrow mindedness that creates havoc within our own bodies.   I am oversimplifying  this example, but do not think that I am far off here.  As I was once told that when we evolve to a certain level, we will not tell people what disease we have as they will know how sick we are in our minds.   For me,  I believe this fact.

Okay, so first in healing.  Clear the mind with negative thinking.  Your body is a cellular universe with different systems communicating  with each cell that receives instructions from your brain which is like the transformer of the information system to the body.  Negative thinking about yourself sets us a system that turn upon itself and creates disease or disharmony within the body.  Not good folks.   Practice on a daily level whenever you begin to have doubts about your talents and place in the universe to recognize this erroneous thinking and delete these thoughts.   On a daily basis I had a request to the God of my understanding to guide me through this process.  And yes, it does get easier and better with time.  Be patient success will eventually follow.

Second, begin to look at what the disease is teaching you.  Are you learning that you need other people?  Are you learning that you need to improve your thinking about others, and enlisting others aid or help when ask?  Are you truthful?   Do you complete your jobs because it is the right thing to do or because you "have to"?   Do you resent others?   What is your overall attitude of life? 

Third,  remain steadfast.  There is no quick fix.  Healing takes time and a willingness to stay the course.  Often western medicine only mask the symptom and does nothing toward healing the body.  Are you looking for a quick fix or a solution?    Diet, exercise, meditation,  coupled with a good attitude toward others certainly helps and is a daily reminder for us all to not judge others but keep moving toward the path of enlightenment.  

My right arm was paralyzed for about 9 months.  I had to take my own advice and follow this path.  Either I believe in what I say or not.  I am in to my 12th month of recovery.  My arm has 90% recovery.  I swim at least once a week and exercise at the gym twice a week.  Not to mention my daily work outs at home.   Meditation and prayer are with me always.   You can do this as well.   Blessings to all of you!
