Too simple. This couldn't possibly *work*...could it?!
I once had a very stubborn plantar's wart --( bottom of heel) Surely another systemic manifestation of something inner...?
When my child was very young, I read about how you could sell these things--I know, it sounds outrageous..
but it had some kind of wild and too-simple-to-be-untrue appeal. the notion was this: you sell the wart to your child--
( or maybe any family member--I forget. No, I think it only works with a child. I see that. ) But it's very important that they understand they don't actually 'get it'--it's more like here's
a really good deal. I mean, what parent would give their child anything bad? And moreso, give them money that they then 'pretend' to pay you, while you *sell them* this wart? ( And I think the mystery here of why it works, is that the child knows in its depth that all these things like warts, etc. are 'false'. And also knows that there is an exchange that happens with money. ) Anyway, my child thought it very funny; a totally silly idea that was okay with him. So, you agree that when the money exchanges hands, the wart disappears. Goes away.
It has to. I had a moment of feeling this was hardly 'fair', but it seemed so off-the-wall, we did it. And, it worked.
It went away that night. It stayed away for several years, ( about ten, I think - and no, my child did not get it.) and then, one day it returned. -->>I'm almost certain, it was after one of those 'events' I alluded to, in my first post--when the Self knows it's made itself small. This was after some period of grief too. But I want to emphasize, it is the belief I'm sure that is stronger than any 'material' or physical happening. The mind leads..whether one chooses to be conscious of it, or not.
This time, it dawned on me that all bodily 'troubles' are some kind of heroic effort of this vessel (body) to keep itself together. I had a whole different view of these things, owing in part to some of the excellent reading I've done in the last few years: Andreas Moritz ( of Curezone) and many others, and also, the result of a lot of inner work, of the sort I was speaking about in the post above this.
So, this time, to make a long story
manageable, I thanked the wart, for all its hard work, and told it that it was no longer required, and that now all the cells in this body are being turned over to light--with nothing hidden.
I told it -the wart- that I did not want to harm it, ( courtesy Andreas Moritz' fine understanding of parasites, etc.) but rather , that it was invited to become one with light, and dissolve into it. That there was nothing to fear in this.
It went. It's gone.
I honestly think this one simple Truth is at the root of it all...all the struggle...all the strange, sometimes twisted and confusing manifestations of anything less than perfection. There is what's hidden, or hiding...and there's
Light. The substance of God.
Love is the (true) expression...
