The Body, Food, and Healing

I am at the conference now and don’t know how much time I will have to write, so except for the Daily Lessons, this is going to be hit and miss. However, I was “thinking on paper” this morning, and so I would like to share this with you.

Sometimes when I eat certain foods I get heartburn and this happened at the airport. I think as we get closer and closer to awakening, what we eat will no longer affect us. Nook Sanchez used to be sensitive to many different foods and when hosting her as a speaker it was an issue because if she ate the wrong things, she would get sick. But now she can eat anything without effect.

This makes sense when you realize the body is an illusion created by the mind. We make the illusion and we control the illusion. However, it does no good to use the ego mind to try to deny the illusion we have made. It doesn’t work that way. So as long as I have foods I can’t eat and as long as I suffer sickness and pain, I will do what I can do and be grateful for the magical solutions.

In the meantime, I will continue to allow my mind to be healed. So that means when I avoid a food, at the same time I give as much willingness as I have to the Holy Spirit to have my mind healed of the belief that I am a victim to food. I used to be allergic to peanuts and wheat and corn, potatoes, and a slew of other foods. I suffered terribly from these food allergies and many environmental allergies. Now I don’t. I became tired of suffering and got serious about healing.

I couldn’t find a doctor who believed I could be healed of all these allergies so I received my healing through an alternative healer, but it was a miracle I found this man and that it worked so well. Some others who went to him did not benefit so much. Sometimes we want to be free of our pain, but don’t truly want to be healed. If this is so, nothing will heal us. So even when we have to use outside agents to heal us or relieve our pain, it is only through our permission that this happens.

The more I wake up, the more astounded I become at our true nature, and I haven’t come close to experiencing that nature completely. We are all-powerful and what a joke we play on ourselves as we pretend to be so helpless before the body and the world we made. I have not been able to affect the body and the world with my ego mind except in small and undependable ways even though my thinking mind understands these concepts. To truly affect what we made, we must do so through the mind that made them, and with the Holy Spirit’s help.

So I continue to ask for the healing of the mind that made it all and as the Holy Spirit heals me in perfect timing, much falls away. The ego mind wants more to do than ask and receive and objects to its little part, but that is the only thing that works and any other action just gets in the way.
