Disease

Q:  I'm also dealing with a life-threatening illness and my question is,
what additional tools or suggestions would you care to offer?

B: To some degree, what we have shared tonight is very strongly applicable,
although you might wish to combine the techniques with your own intuition,
your own sensing.   Primarily, what is important is to be in touch with
what your own belief systems are all about.  What are your strongest
beliefs?  So you can examine, so you can know, so that you can discover
what type of belief you would have to have bought into to have created a
situation where you are experiencing, what you call, a "life-threatening"
disease.

Again, the notion of disease can serve many purposes.  Understand that it
is not always the idea of negativity being expressed.  Sometimes an
individual will have chosen to show themselves exactly how strong they are
by attracting such a limitation to themselves, that the challenge and the
process of going through that challenge itself really gives them, in very
short amount of time, something that otherwise might have taken them one,
two or many lifetimes to go through.  This does not mean that you
necessarily have to be non-physical in order to learn a chosen lesson.  You
can learn it very quickly by being willing to examine the beliefs that
might have attracted the situation to you.  Remember that the first step is
to "own," we are not saying you are not doing this.  But simply to outline
the idea, to own all of the experiences, because you cannot change what you
do not own.

Once you own that this is your creation, then you can take the stigma off
of the idea.  You can know one thing above and beyond anything, that you
obviously must be a being of immense power and strength to have chosen such
a remarkable challenge to teach yourself certain things. And knowing that
you have that amount strength, the knowledge of that strength, in and of
itself, can make an immediate difference in exactly how much of the disease
you experience or manifest.

So, some of the ideas we have discussed this day, doing the things that
give you joy, being in love unconditionally with yourself, can be of
assistance to you.  You can use your imagination, a very powerful tool for
all of you, to create a scenario, a meditation, a visualization or an
attraction to other people or situations that can then alleviate the idea
of needing to process what you're learning through the symbol of disease.

Now, allow me to ask you the question that was implied by one of the first
things that we discussed this evening.  Are you, in your life, doing the
thing that would give you the most excitement and the most joy or not?  Yes
or no.

Q: No.

B: Why not?

Q: Well, I like art and painting, but it sort of petered out.

B:  It sort of petered out?  All right.  Did you go to the next most
exciting thing?

Q:  I'm trying to.

B:  Trying, all right.   Trying is a struggle.  Trying implies struggling
and suffering, and can create disharmony, discordance and disease to some
degree.  Again, the idea is the issue of trust, trusting that what excites
you the most can support you.  When something excites you more than
anything else does and it changes direction, it does not mean that you have
lost that momentum.  It simply means it has changed its form; it has
transformed into another guise, another direction, another symbol, another
representation.

The idea, the secret to following what excites you the most is to, at any
given moment, act upon the most exciting thing you are capable of doing
something about at that moment.  Because all excitement is connected to all
other excitement. And if there is some particular thing that excites you
more than anything else that you truly do not have an ability to act upon,
then act upon whatever is the most exciting thing you can act upon.  That
will lead you into the circumstances and situations that will allow you to
act on the thing you previously could not act on.   Are you following what
I am saying?

Q:  Yes.

B:   All right.  So when you find that whatever excites you the most has
changed direction--go with it, flow with it, find out what is the next most
exciting thing you can act upon, because they are all connected. The
excitement is what tells you they are connected.  Following the excitement
is following the thread, is following the path you chose to be.  Sometimes,
paradoxically enough, the quickest way to get from where you are to where
you want to be is to follow the path that winds naturally through all sorts
of different things that excite you the most.   Attempting to straighten
that path out can be what causes disharmony, because there are things on
the winding path that you do need to look at that are a part of the overall
thing that excites you, rather than labeling them as detours or things that
are delaying you or blocks or obstructions or barriers that are holding you
back.

Do not delay yourself from doing your excitement because you create the
excuse that you do not have the proper atmosphere in which to do it. YOU
are the proper atmosphere.  When you wish to paint, paint.  You do not
necessarily have to need all of the structure and format that you always
think you need in order to accomplish the thing that excites you.

Here is a little bit of a connection.  Sometimes the notion of disease is
attracted to an individual to "force" them to begin to show themselves that
they need to break down structures, to break down the rules, regulations
and rigid codes that restrict them from being as free as they could be.
That is only one aspect of the symbol of the disease. But if you allow
yourself a little bit more freedom to express what gives you joy, you will
begin to create a little bit of a chink in that armor, in that structure,
and begin to see it disassemble--so that your spirit and your soul can
express itself without needing to disassemble your physical form in order
to make that so.

Because you see, many times, when individuals rigidize themselves into a
certain format or procedure, if they do not allow themselves to do it any
other way, they will then proceed to attract into their lives certain
circumstances and situations that tear everything down in order to force
them down to ground zero, where they have unlimited options from that point
forward.  Because they see that they have nothing else left but to go in
whatever direction they want to.  Go in that direction now.

Act now with the excitement and the inspiration.  Do not wait for the idea
of the specific time frame.  You create the timing.  You generate the idea
of the inspiration.  Our first suggestion to you would be to begin to break
apart that rigid idea and allow yourself to express what gives you joy in
whatever way you can, without waiting for the ideal circumstances.  Is this
being of any assistance to you?  Is it allowing you to see things from a
different perspective perhaps?

Q: Yes, very much so.  Thank you.

B:  Thank you.
