In response to sacred insights

". . .but seeing it as perfect and as intended by God well that is a bit of a different mindset. Still thinking on that one... "

If you look closely at my last entry, you will not find "intended by God" anywhere in it. That, I believe, is one of the mistakes people make when they say that certain situations in their lives were intended by God and they should simply resign themselves to them. I don't happen to believe that.

I believe in Nature, not as a god, but as a process. There are all kinds of good things, and not so good things, that can happen to us as a result of Nature. Hurricane Katrina was an act of Nature, not an act of God in the religious sense. Sickness, missing limbs, children dying--all a part of Nature.

Having said that, I believe that we as thinking, creative beings can work with Nature in some very powerful ways. We can create healing within our bodies and minds. We don't have to accept and resign ourselves to "bad karma." "Oh, well, just my luck." Or, "I guess God wanted me to suffer." Nonsense.

But it takes determination to overcome, not Nature, but our own sense of helplessness.

I recommend to you books by Louise Hay, if you haven't read any of them already. You can find them in any major bookstore and also in the library.

Your mind can heal you. Only you create the limitations.

Much love, again.
