Quantum Mechanics, Newtonian Physics …and Spiritual Healing – Volume 6
If what is implied by the title of this piece is true, then why would you settle for less than what you really want? There’s an old saying, “you better be careful about what you want because you might just get it.” Perhaps a better way of saying it could be that what you think you want may not really be what you want at all. Could that be true? …If so, how?
You Can't Always Get What You Want...... or I Can Have What Ever I want.... Who's right?
The key thought for me is to keep in mind that I want only what is for my total “better good.” What that means is to want only what some think of as “God’s perfect will” …and what that entails for me is wanting what the SOURCE wants for everyone around me which is for their “better good” as well as for me. In other words my gain must not mean someone else must lose. My apologies to those involved in competitive sports because, in that world, there must always be a loser.
Ah, but what is the old saying, “What is the point of gaining the whole world if, in the process, you lose your soul?”
Some might suggest, in the process of producing bigger and better sporting programs for the openly stated purpose of financial support, that America’s scholastic system has already lost its soul. Could an argument also be made that America’s preoccupation with professional sports has created the same result for the nation as a whole? We forget that the same guy who made the “gain the world/lose your soul” statement also said that we cannot serve two masters and that those who try to serve both God and Mammon (the latter interpreted by some as the “spirit-power behind money”) will wind up losing big time.
What is motivating you to read this right now? Is something on your heart and mind that you want and, therefore, you’d prefer I got past all this philosophizing and got to a method by which you can create whatever it is you want? I’m getting there, but first we have to do a bit of groundwork.
I know you didn't mean to make that mess.
I’m here to tell you that you have already created your life and belongings, or lack thereof, to this point …and if you want to change your life and surroundings it may be best to take responsibility for having created what it is that you want to improve upon.
Trust me, please; this is not a treatise about being happy about, or even settling for, your present circumstances …although, comparatively speaking, the latter could easily equal the former. As you already know, if you have been spending much time on this website, reading and/or listening to what publisher, Ryan Bruce and I have to say …what we’re really about is helping people find ways to acquire healing power to use for others and spiritual healing for themselves.
You also already know, by now, that we say there is only one SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE of everything and it is from HER/HIM/IT that you receive it. Actually, boiled down to the essence of what we say, healing power and spiritual healing come automatically as a result of being connected to our SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE …healing power and spiritual healing is HER/HIS/ITS work, not ours …and SPIRIT-PARENT heals through a variety of means. What I’ve been given I am sharing, but what I have been given may not be for you.
So what is the experiment that proves you can create a better life (according to your own personal value system) for yourself? Well, what I am suggesting is a way to test your value system to see if you may want to adapt it to what the SOURCE, who knows you better than you know yourself, is willing to provide for you.
Now then, I am NOT suggesting you adopt my interpretation of what the SOURCE has shown me, for me, I’m suggesting that you seek the SOURCE out for yourself …and that is the experiment. Now, I do have a relatively simple way that I have found to be extremely useful for me as to how to go about seeking the SOURCE and which I am going to suggest you try as the first step to the experiment …only because I know that it works for me and everyone else I know who has ever tried it!
But let’s first illustrate just how we created our lives up to this point. Let’s use just as one example …an unhappy marriage. When people come to the point of admitting they are not happy with their partner, the question some marriage counselors find useful is, “why were you attracted to your mate in the first place?” In other words, take some responsibility here. Get it? Well, if you don’t get it, here’s a hint. You chose him/her, why? Now then, what has happened that caused you to change your mind?
Don't wait until it comes to this! Take Responsibility!
If you will take a moment to process the foregoing paragraph, you will find that your dissatisfaction didn’t occur overnight… and that it was a series of things and a series of choices you have made (remember that NOT dealing with a situation is also a choice) which have become habits along with your thoughts and attitudes about it, which are a continuum of even more choices. Let’s not stop with an unsatisfying relationship …moving on:
What about what you do for a living …is it not what you really want to do? Why did you choose it in the first place? What about where you live? Did you choose it, or did somebody force you to live there?
You see, when we begin to examine our lives a little more closely, we begin to understand something: We made the choices! We created both the messes and the things with which we are happy alike. We chose them – or accepted them which also entailed a series of choices …OUR CHOICES …OUR CREATION, one and all.
Here we go, the experiment begins: Well, not quite; some of you are not ready to proceed because you are thinking that you did not choose some things that were beyond your control. If this describes you, you will find the next few sentences even more difficult to handle, but if you can digest them and change your perspective by letting a little light shine on it and then be willing (step one in the experiment) to take full responsibility for your life to this point …and you will do this by stating, no matter how tentatively, ”I chose this” (if you want you can even put a question mark after it – you know, I chose this? …after all, you’d really like to know, wouldn’t you)?
Let this thought, about taking responsibility for causing (or allowing) everything in your life that has happened to this point, gain some momentum and maturity …then we’ll move on to step two …which is to relinquish control for your better good.
Some of you still aren’t ready to take step one in the experiment. Some of you reading this, right now, contracted asthma or another “incurable disease” at an early age and just cannot begin to understand how you could possibly be responsible for causing or allowing it to happen, particularly at such a young age.
Let’s do a little more groundwork to help us see just how this is possible …please remember that I am sharing my own experience(s) and hope that they serve you in some way. If you are a victim of some disease for which, according to diagnostic tests and the experts interpreting them, say that there is no cure; you may be having a difficult time accepting responsibility for having contracted it. But that’s exactly what I’m trying to get you to do and there is a significant reason for doing so. At this moment take responsibility …even if every logical fiber of your being says you cannot possibly be responsible …take responsibility NOW.
How can a child possibly take responsibility for abuse?
Why should you take responsibility for creating something over which, as a small child, you had no control? Because it will begin the process of you getting over it!
A few people have called this approach “disgusting” …particularly when I suggest to an adult who has been suffering emotional disturbances because of sexual abuse as a child, that he or she takes responsibility for it NOW.
Now, please stop and think about this for a moment. A true story: A woman has been troubled for fifty years related to some abuse she suffered at the hands of her grandmother and the way to peace about it is to take responsibility for her part in it. Which avenue should the emotionally troubled person choose – taking responsibility (even if she doesn’t understand it) and being free from emotional disturbance …or continuing to blame it on her grandmother and continuing to go through depression, psychiatric treatment including medication for depression and for psychotic episodes?
The woman chose to take responsibility and was freed from all sorts of physical as well as psychological problems. The other woman, who called it “disgusting,” I’m assuming would have chosen continuing to blame the supposed responsible (for the abuse) person. The reason I am making the assumption is that it proved impossible to discuss it with her – so set was she upon holding onto her judgment that the concept of taking responsibility for something that was beyond a child’s ability to even understand at the time and, therefore, was beyond her control, was “disgusting.”
If you have been following this ridiculous sounding series, sub-titled, “Quantum Mechanics, Newtonian Physics …and Spiritual Healing” – you probably are also wondering how that can possibly have anything to do with taking responsibility for contracting some incurable disease as well.
Let’s pause here to remind you that quantum mechanics has proven conclusively two rather amazing facts. First, that a single particle can be in two different places at the same time …not just seem to be in two separate positions, but actually be. Second, that merely the presence of an observer or an instrument of observation alters the strange behavior of this particle (which, how can we speak of it in the singular if it is in two separate places simultaneously?) if, for no other reason, this startling twofold phenomenon is important as a means to expand our minds to accept Jesus’ words, “nothing is impossible to anyone who believes enough,” at face value.
Here’s the deal as it relates to my experiences and the significant reason for taking responsibility for everything in our lives. Only as I take total responsibility for everything that has occurred in my life, including how I think and my attitudes, can I begin to realize the inherent power (the intrinsic power within) I have to take control of everything in my life right now …including those things over which I seem to have no control and, therefore, tend to think of myself as a victim – STOP!
Maybe you should read it again?
If you we are willing to digest the foregoing paragraph we can begin the process of healing …in fact, it might even be instantaneous!
Hidden away in this treatise, so far, are references to blaming others for the challenges we face in life. When I take responsibility, blame, if you will, for everything …I am acknowledging the power available to me to overcome whatever. What I am about to write gets sticky because it will be misunderstood by some.
There are those who casually and indifferently blame all their troubles on God, by saying that God allowed them. My retort is that God allows me to make every unconscious decision I make …including breathing …some who may be closer to the truth, albeit uncomfortably so, say, “the devil made me do it.” Try not to get mad at me for a moment and hear where I’m coming from.
Jesus said that the One Whom I refer to as our SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE (by whatever other title or name) has provided us with our lives filled with abundance, power and unlimited possibilities and that the enemy came for the purpose of stealing that life and power and, therefore, putting limitations upon us.
When we say that God has allowed us to go through all kinds of misery for some hidden purpose about which only He knows, it could be said that we are blaming the devil’s work and purposes on God …that isn’t very nice, now, is it?
What is your Perspective?
It all depends upon one’s perspective …if you happen to believe that God is in control of everything that happens; then certainly you believe God allows everything. If, on the other hand, you happen to believe what Jesus said, that is, and which clearly indicates that the small “g” god (whom he also referred to as “Satan”) of the world is the force that controls everything in the physical realm, then we have a different view of things.
What on earth does this have to do with quantum mechanics, Newtonian physics and spiritual healing, now, really! Let’s see if we can tie some things together. What is holding you back right this moment from taking the first step in the experiment? Do you remember what it is?
Choosing right now to take responsibility for having created everything in your life, just say it. It really is easy to speak it, here are the words: “I take responsibility for creating and/or allowing everything in my life including” (name the disease, go ahead, do you have asthma or diabetes? What is holding you back, other than fear)?
Why is the thought of taking responsibility for something a cause for being afraid? If you will muster up just a bit of risk-taking courage, right here, two things will begin to take place. One, you will begin to see the truth in the old saying, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and two, you will begin to see the truth in something else: Human beings are inherently afraid of change and I am suggesting a way for you to change your mind. A process that can, indeed, be frightening!
You were eager to try the experiment; now, do you have the guts to take step one? Here’s how: Say, “I take responsibility for creating and/or allowing everything in my life, including _________.” Say it and keep repeating it until you are comfortable with the words (even if you don’t, for a second, believe they are true).
Is this Science or Voodoo? Ask the Source!
If you happen to believe that Jesus might have been telling some truths that are worth listening to …whom do you believe put the disease on you, the SPIRIT-PARENT SOURCE who created you or the “god” who, said Jesus, is out to destroy you?
If you are beginning to make sense out of taking total responsibility for your life and everything that is in it, then you might see the possibility that the SOURCE didn’t allow it, you chose it! …Or, is it possible, just as the double slit experiment proves that a single particle can be in two places at the same time, that “God” or “god” allowed it and you chose it. There is yet another possibility (actually there are myriad possibilities), that is, “God” and the “god of this world” were both involved in the process of co-creation …does the “Let US create” in Genesis ring any bells for you?
Now then, are you ready to take step two in the experiment, or do you need a few days to complete step one, part of which is to get past your fear of changing your mind and accepting full responsibility for everything (?)
Can you even remember what the second step is?
The second step is coming up next in Volume 7, but first, please listen to see if Ryan Bruce is scratching his head and if I am the one to help straighten the ruts in his thinking [LINK] click here:Podcast 37 Nov 1 2010 You can have whatever you like
