"At
last, here it is, the secret of secrets. Please pull out all stops
and listen with every ounce of your being because I'm convinced that the
following few words can turn you into healers and transform your lives.
... Spiritual healing is so simple that it is literally mind-blowing.
It's hard to believe that anything so simple could be so powerful and
effective. That's why we insist on making it mysterious,
complicated, and esoteric. We can't believe there isn't more to
it. - Walter
Starcke, Homesick for Heaven
There are people who go through life thinking that every thing is a
struggle or a burden. In this spirit, life weighs us down and both
the emotional and physical changes that are the result of this state of
mind are unnecessary. In fact, our focus on the problem can
magnify it beyond what it is. Several years ago there was a
popular book titled, "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" ... and it
was a good reminder for us to realize that it is all small stuff.
There is no power in things, conditions or circumstances, the power is
in the spirit in which we live. Living with confidence and self
assurance doesn't happen by chance. We must establish both in our
consciousness and realize that there is nothing that comes into our life
that can defeat us and stop us from accomplishing that which we choose
to accomplish. But, we must put this into our mind every day and
for some of us we must affirm it more often than once each day.
Troward tells us that the spirit lies within each of us, but it is our
responsibility to "stir it up" ... to awaken to the truth that
no one or no thing can make our decisions and choices for us ... and our
most important decision is how we choose to live our life and the spirit
in which we live it.
Walter Starcke tells
us: "To
begin with, when we turn to spiritual healing, we want a
"spiritual" healing for a "material" problem.
The fact that we believe it is a problem, reveals the spirit with which
we view the situation. The spirit that believes there is a problem
is one of confusion and fear. If not, we wouldn't be thinking of
it as a problem. To effect a spiritual solution means we have to
alter the "spirit" of the situation - not to attempt to
manipulate the material fact as such. When our goal is to change a
material problem, our spirit remains at the level of the problem and
spiritually you cannot heal a problem at the level of the problem. ...
we have to accept the fact that spiritual healing only takes place at
the level of spirit. Our prime goal then is to alter the spirit by
lifting our own spirits. We don't change the problem. We
change the spirit. It's that simple."
Dr. Starcke tells us that "the
spirit that believes there is a problem is one of confusion and
fear" ... I wouldn't use the word fear as I think it is a
little strong for this, but I do know that this spirit contains
something similar to hopelessness and even perhaps desperation.
Whatever it may be that moves through our mind, if it is not of a quiet
confidence, it is not going to give us that which we need to solve our
issues and not have them show up again in some other form. I have
had people tell me that their ability to see the results and speak to
the results of what they want rather than try and solve the problem has
brought the right ideas to their awareness to get the results that they
want. This is in effect, changing the spirit in which we view what
we used to call problems.
When the Master Mind Jesus told us that "the
kingdom of G-d is within, not lo here or lo there" ... he
was telling us that we have what it takes to be self assured and self
confident ... because this Intelligence that created all that we see
works through us when our spirit is aligned with Its Spirit and Truth.
We can read in the ancient scriptures "be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind" ... but we must
choose to renew our mind and no one else can do it for us. Others
can help us magnify our faith and perhaps heal our consciousness of lack
and limitation, illness and loneliness, but only that which we establish
within our own consciousness, our soul, will have permanency to it.
The glorious healings attributed to Jesus fill our heart with love and
confidence, but never did he claim that anything other than faith could
maintain and sustain the healings over time. This faith must be a
deep seated faith ... it must be embodied on the subjective level of our
mind so absolutely that nothing can disturb it. This is why the
ancient wisdom tells us to "pray without
ceasing" ... to pray is to recognize and identify that there
is always Something beyond our human imagination that is at work in the
universe waiting for us to affirm Its personal-ness to us ... so that It
can be personalized through us.
We live in the world, a fact which no one can
deny. And being in the world, we are subject both consciously and
unconsciously to the "race mind" or "mortal mind" as
Mary Baker Eddy described it. I call it the "collective
mind" ... those predominant beliefs of the masses molded together
collectively. The most self-defeating of these predominant beliefs
in the collective mind is "duality" ... the belief in G-d and
something else ... the power of evil ... or that which the primitive
mind calls the "Devil" or "Satan" ... this belief
contradicts both the revelation of Truth found in the Book of Isaiah and
the teachings of Jesus. This belief in duality ... that there is
something outside of us that can obstruct our good, keeps
"Heaven" up there some where ... and separates us from the
good life, the abundant life and the wonderful that is ours to
experience in the here and now. We must ask
ourselves daily, what did Jesus mean when he said "the kingdom of
G-d is within" ? ... as we seek, we shall find ourselves
discovering within our own soul a sense of being in heaven in the here
and now. As Walter Starcke tells us, "the secret of secrets
is that spiritual healing is so simple" ... it is a choice to turn
from that which we have learned from the world and instead take into our
mind the joy of knowing and believing that this Intelligence that
created all that we see ... created this very human form that we are
clothed in ... is in the midst of us, in our own soul, calling us to
realize that Heaven is here and now ... right now.
AND
SO IT IS!
Keep
the
faith!
