If the Miracle of New Thought doesn't result in Wellness… then it
isn't a Miracle!
I heard on the 'news' today the topic and question of how to reduce
the runaway and unsustainable health care costs that are a large part
of our personal and national bankruptcy. The best way to reduce these
costs is to not make ourselves sick in the first place. We must come
to See that we do not get sick… we 'do sickness' in our daily life
style practices which then result in the troubling symptoms we call
disease or sickness. Cause and effect are not separate and though you
may try to distract yourself from the causing factor of choice and
behavior… the effects that you experience are directly connected to
the choices you are making. The Miracle of Grace momentarily suspends
the practice of habit, obsession, and addiction but you must elect to
practice this aspect of Remembrance in order to develop this Free and
Limitless aspect of mind. It is a potential in the personality self
that must be recognized, accepted, and practiced in order for it to
develop into the expression of Self Devotion.
The Miracle is the introduction or intercession of Light into the
darkness of the separate self dream. Only by this Light is Sight
possible and only then can we See into the impoverished thinking from
which we become sick and impotent. Only as we See into the poor
choices we habitually and routinely make can we become empowered to
choose differently and then open our minds to the New Learning that
provides welcome relief from the punishing habits of unworthy and
inefficient thinking/belief, feeling, and behavior. When and as we
choose to allow Correction to end our ineffective, unproductive, and
even cruel habits, Healing comes of It Own… simply because we are no
longer deciding against It.
All of our daily life style behaviors can reflect our decision to
Heal, to Be Well, and to devote ourselves to this indwelling Wellness.
We can Celebrate to no end in each of our doings and most importantly
in our 'daily bread', that is to say that our diets, can and must come
into Conscious Accord with this decision to Heal.
Insanity is often defined as 'doing' the same thing over and over
again and expecting a different result. We must permit our eyes to
Open that we may See that we reap only what we sow… for only in this
Willingness to See can we recover the Inner Strength and Understanding
from which we may enter into the practice of Self Love… from which we
are Born Again as He would have us be… and then take our Rightful
place and role in the Unfolding Correction of God's Plan. The Miracle
of Wellness is your Right… but Purification, which is Meaningful
Change, is necessary in order for Guidance and Right Choosing to
converge into the Celebration of your very Own Aliveness.
