The Way Toward Health - March 19, 29 1984

Each person is a vital, conscious portion of the universe.  Each person’s existence sends its own ripples throughout time.  The universe is conscious at every conceivable point of itself.  Each being is an individualized segment of the universe; then, in human terms, each person is a beloved individual, formed with infinite care and love, uniquely gifted with a life like no other.

No animal considers itself a failure, obviously.  People, however, often identify with their seeming mistakes, forgetting their abilities in other directions, so that it seems that they are misfits in the universe, or in the world.  The conscious mind can indeed have such thoughts because it so often tries to solve all problems on its own, until it begins to feel frightened, overburdened, and a failure in its own eyes.

The inner ego, however, always identifies with its source-identity as a beloved, individualized portion of the universe.  It is aware of the universal love that is its heritage.

It is also aware of the infinite power and strength that composes the very fabric of its being.  Through being made aware of these facts, the exterior ego can begin to feel a quicker sense of support and nourishment.  The knowledge can let it relax, let go, so that it feels its life couched and safe, and knows itself to be indeed a beloved child of the universe, both ancient and young at once, with an identity far beyond the annals of time.

It is of great value, then, that each person remember this universal affiliation.  Such a reminder can often allow the inner self to send needed messages of strength and love through the various levels, appearing as inspiration, dreams, or simply pure bursts of feeling. The inner ego draws instant and continuous support from the universal consciousness, and the more the exterior ego keeps that fact in mind, the greater its own sense of stability, safety, and self-esteem.

One of the attitudes detrimental to good health is that of self-condemnation, or dislike of the self.  Such attitudes are unfortunately sometimes fostered by parents, schools, and religions.  Feelings of self-worth, self-esteem, and pleasure with one’s abilities promote feelings of well-being, health, and exuberance.

The universe actively loves itself and all of its parts.  The world loves itself and all of its parts.  It is not true that energy is neutral or indifferent.  Energy is active, positive, propelled by what can almost be called an instantaneous pleasure with itself and its characteristics.

Despite all concepts to the contrary, energy is indeed at its basis, love.  It is also composed of highly charged consciousness that operates almost in a leapfrog fashion, with great bursts of exuberance and vitality.  The great – the greatest creative force – that force that is the origin for all physical life – did not suddenly appear once in some distant past, sparking the birth of your reality, endowing it with an energy that could only then run down, or dissipate.  Instead, ever-new virgin energy, so to speak, is created constantly, and appears at every conceivable point within your universal system.

Each new rose in the springtime is in truth a new rose, composed of completely new and unique energy, utterly itself, innocent, alive in the world.

In the deepest of terms, while each body has a history, each moment in the body’s existence is also new, freshly emerging into the world, innocent and unique.  While there is indeed pain in the world, it is the miraculous principle of pleasure that propels life itself.
