It seems that my physical body
is giving me a message. Tuesday, it began demonstrating symptoms of some sort
of imbalance. My first reaction was “Damn! I just recovered from a cold not
more than six weeks ago. This can’t be happening again.” Thankfully, with the
help of my life coach, Deborah Jane Wells, I was willing and able to release most
of my resistance and somewhat reluctantly accept that my body is mirroring my
consciousness.
My physical body is providing
me with a present tangible experience of my mental congestion and inner conflict.
It is my choice to pay attention. I am choosing to interpret my physical symptoms
as a message for me to slow down, be with what is, let go of the struggle to figure
it all out (whatever ‘it” is), be present with the unfolding of things in their
time, and love myself in the process.
One way I am loving myself is not
“shoulding” on myself to write a full blog post this week. Instead, I am reposting
one from a few years ago. I hope you enjoy:
PANDEMIC DIS-EASE ADVISORY
It is vital for all to
be aware that a deadly infectious dis-ease is afflicting billions of people
around the world.
The most pronounced
symptoms of this dis-ease are feelings of fear, anger, resentment, loneliness
and depression. Many, not understanding the cause of this dis-ease, attempt to
treat it with drugs, alcohol, shopping, food, sex, and/or religion. While these
may temporarily lessen the symptoms, once the “treatment” is discontinued the
symptoms return and are often more painful than when left untreated.
The dis-ease is spread
through contact with others who have been infected, and once contracted it can
be insidious or become consuming. It has devastating effects, not just on the
life of the individual, but on the life of the planet as well. Over the past
few decades it has become pandemic and threatens the very survival of the human
species. It has caused those who suffer from it to behave in erratic ways,
including warring against others, plundering the resources of the Earth, and
decimating other life forms.
It cannot be treated
with medication. It cannot be cured with chemotherapy or radiation. It cannot
be removed by any surgical procedure. This dis-ease cannot be cured by any
method known to medical science because it is not a physical disease; it is a
spiritual dis-ease.
This dis-ease begins
with the germ of one thought, “I am separate from God.” Left unchecked,
this germ will quickly infect the entire body of thought. Once it has
established itself there, it begins to multiply until it eventually invades all
the areas of one’s life, the physical body and the body of one’s affairs
including finances, relationships and career. This one germ, given free reign,
can be the cause of pain and suffering for a moment or for a lifetime.
There is hope,
however. There is an agent that will counteract the germ and treat the
dis-ease. It is readily available to all. It is called “Truth.” Absorbing Truth can provide almost immediate relief from the
symptoms of the dis-ease. It has also been shown to have the cumulative effect
of eradicating the germ from the body. An excellent Truth that can start one on
the road to recovery is, “The Life of God is my life now.” Taking that in
several times each day will most assuredly allow Truth to overcome dis-ease and
produce healing effects.
The side effects of
Truth are a heightened awareness of the present moment, a desire to help
others, a sense of Oneness and a positive attitude.
CAUTION: TRUTH CAN BE HABIT-FORMING.
CAUTION: TRUTH CAN BE HABIT-FORMING.
The only request is
that Truth be shared with everyone. It must not be kept for one’s sole use. It
is to be used to treat the soul of humanity. It must be shared so that all may
find relief from the symptoms of this painful, yet curable dis-ease.
It is possible to live
a full life with no dis-ease. Truth is available free of charge at your
local Unity. To learn more, please join us at Unity of Denver, 3021 S
