“So This Is Why I Wasn’t Healed”
This excerpt is by Alfred Aiken from The Unchallenged Self
I Declared Truth Until I Was Blue In The Face — Where’s My Healing?●●●
Recently, one steeped in metaphysics asked for a clearer explanation of God. As the ALLNESS of God was pointed out, the seeker said, ”Oh yes, I know, but that is too absolute for me. Talk so I can understand you. The doctors at my place of business tell me I have tuberculosis and I am unable to work. I can’t pay my bills. I’ve declared Truth till I’m blue in the face but it doesn’t seem to do a bit of good. Why doesn’t God heal me? I’ve asked Him in all sincerity. I know He’s all powerful – that He’s Love Itself, so why doesn’t He heal me?”●●●
I tried to point out the ONENESS of God, but with each statement of Truth, my visitor countered with a metaphysical quotation, assuring me this was the very same Truth he had been declaring for months on end.●●● To break through this glib parroting, he was then asked for an original definition of what Truth is – not words or pretty, quotable sentences, but what is the Truth Itself; not the truth about Truth, but Truth’s very essence – what the I of this I-PRESENT is. This question caught his attention and he was still – he listened to the sole Self for a change, rather than to the chatter of no-Self, not-Self, not-One, not-I!
Fight Evil Appearances And They Will Appear To Get Worse●●●
Until now, all his efforts had been expended against evil, against a condition. However, as always in the field of theology, the more evil or sin is fought, the larger it becomes – the further from the Allness of God the theologian travels. Evil is not to be wiped out, dealt with, handled, cast aside or overcome.●●●
Why?
Because God is ALL, and this leaves nothing beside. Sickness, like aught else evil, is not something to be met, destroyed or healed, because PRESENT PERFECTION leaves no evil – leaves none sick●●●, ailing or in distress. Surely no one would go about trying to heal God!
God’s Allness Is All That’s Going On
My visitor was asked is he had ever felt GOD was in need of prayer – had he ever “worked” for GOD, tried to set GOD free of disease, deadly germs, infection? The answer was an immediate NO! Did time ever affect GOD? NO! Is God all, right NOW? Yes! Is there more than ALL? There was a pause, then a slow acknowledgment that there is ONLY GOD. Who then is ill? NO ONE, FOR GOD IS ALL!●●●
Suddenly, he saw this. “This is Truth!” he declared. It was clear to him that until this moment he had merely been attempting to know about Truth – about himself, about disease, but he had not known TRUTH ITSELF.●●● Truth revealed Truth to be TRUE RIGHT NOW, WHOLE, AWARE OF BEING THE I THAT I AM – THIS I RIGHT HERE.
Some three days late, because of employment insurance regulations, the young man had to report to the doctors for another X-ray. When the X-ray was taken it showed but a slight congestion which the doctors said was possibly fatigue. When they compared the new pictures with the old ones, they were at a complete loss to explain ●●● how the old set showed such an advanced stage of the disease and the new ones did not. To be doubly sure, however, they later called for another set which showed no trace of discord, and within a matter of days the yound man was back at work.

What can we do to help?

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP ?
We can keep our focus while others vent and emote. We can see the spiritual and perfect UNTIL we really see it. We can love the people there and never check to see if our seeing has produced any material results. That done we can start seeing spiritually again and this time never stop. Amen

ACIM eviscerates the ego.

Some years ago I pretty much devoured “A Course In Miracles”. I knew I needed it because line upon line it eviscerates the ego.
This morning I found myself bemoaning to Papa “W-a-a-a-a-h! The Course didn’t ‘take’.
You wanna hear what he tol’ me?
He said “You’ve heard of planting a seed in someone, right?”
Yes, Papa, I wailed.
“Well, it planted a garden in you!”

Are you a Christian?

Here’s the best answer I’ve ever heard to that gnawing question:
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
It all depends on how one defines CHRISTIAN. If one is referring by that nomenclature to traditional doctrinal beliefs promulgated by a Western understanding of Holy Scriptures, then, NO, I AM not a “Christian.” However, if one means one’s belief in the Universality of the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS which is one with LOVE being one’s natural and only state, then, YES, I AM a Christian and brother to CHRIST and a Son of My Father.

To help or not to help

A Question that’s burning in my mind:
Sometimes those who are suffering say
It’s Not Helpful to hear of others
Who’ve overcome the malady.
They assume the one trying to help
Is gloating or self-promoting.
But how can one help them
If they’ve had no experience
That proves their claim? Besides,
Bending over backwards to be super
Tactful, their entire message is lost.

Eschatology not

“Inaccurate eschatology causes believers to:
Wait for a King who already reigns,
Wait for a Kingdom they’re already in
Wait to become what they already are,
Wait for power that they already have,
Wait for an Age that they’re already in,
Wait for victory that’s already been won,
Wait to do, what they should already be doing.”

Hearing God becomes easier with practice

I have found that hearing God becomes easier and easier with practice. Sometimes the carnal mind gets really obstinate and just hits me with “NOT RIGHT NOW DON’T WANNA I’LL DO IT LATER WHAT’S FOR DINNER” and similar mind-numbing nonsense, hoping to lull me into a stupor. As soon as I wake up to this malarkey, I focus on/as God and the journey becomes joyfully exhilarating once again!

Wisdom from Message Bible

We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it’s not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn’t have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That’s why we have this Scripture text: No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him. But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.
