Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Healing can happen anywhere, in any way, under any circumstances, through any person or avenue. The universe is always trying to deliver well-being to us. There are no obstacles outside of us. The only obstacle is our own resistance to it. No external condition whatsoever is required for healing. The only conditions are internal. What makes or breaks healing is our belief, our desire, our willingness, our openness, our readiness. One thing is for sure: the moment you are ready and willing, the healing must come. A Course in Miracles tells us that all that is required for healing is " a little willingness, " and that " the real doctor is the mind of the patient. " We choose doctors or external agents who tell us what we want to hear. If you want to be healed, you will find a doctor who will tell you that you can get better. If you hold some investment in staying ill, there are plenty of doctors who will agree with you. When my mother was seeing an oncologist, one day I accompanied her to his office and asked him about my mother's prognosis. He told me it was not good. When I asked him if there was anything he could do for her, he answered, " We are not the masters of biology. " Right then and there, I knew he and I had nothing to talk about. He believed that cells are in charge of the universe, and I believed souls are in charge of the universe. End of conversation. My mother, you see, was ready to leave. A few months later she passed away, but before she did, she told me that she was ready to go. She told me that she had led a good life, she was very proud of me, and she had done everything she had wanted to do. It was her choice to move on. Interesting, isn't it, that she picked a doctor who agreed with what she intended to do anyway? There are many cancer patients who are not ready to go, and they find Bernie Siegels and Andrew Weills and others who say, " You have a choice. If you choose to be alive and well, I can help you to do that. " These doctors would be the first to admit that they are not the source of healing; they are the agents chosen by the patients to assist them with their intentions -- patients who realize that spirit is the master of life, not biology. Healing is allowed here. Healing is allowed wherever it is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
