On God’s Will in Relation to Health

Me: I am doing God’s will

God: God is inside of you, you are living out your will.You are a sacred soul on a sacred journey, as is everyone, and your life is just a projection of your soul- God incarnate in you.

I thought Jesus was the only one God was incarnate in?

Everyone is God incarnate, but Jesus knew this. “Ye are Gods,” I have said. I meant it.

When I get sick or if something inconvenient or unfortunate as death happens, is it not God’s will?

It is causality; everything has to happen the way it happens. It is inevitable. I am the First Cause. Yet since you are God (just a different Experience of Him), you need to realize you are more in control than you think. Your thoughts shape your experience- it matters not what happens to you in life, it matters only how you react to it. Your thoughts, words and deeds in relation to something that happens in space and time: those can either make you positive and in control or can fill you with negativity and pity and sorrow. The choice is yours, as I have given you free will, to chose negative or positive. But do not mistake the truth.
Your negative thoughts- hatred, worrying, fear; they will make you sick. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. I did not intend for you to ever feel negative.
People can worry themselves to death, they can live in fear and catch diseases, they can hate until it eats away at them like a virus. Says Neale Donald Walsch, thoughts like “I’m a loser,” “my life is always a mess,” “I am sick and tired of my life,” “God is going to punish me;” they are powerful. It is very difficult to reverse the effects of negative thinking once they have taken physical form- but not impossible. It requires extraordinary belief in the positive force of the universe—God.

I think it is people’s choice to live a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle, and if they chose the latter, they get sick. But for an STD, it’s a matter of making sure you get tested with your partner. It is impatience and laziness that leads to sex with someone before such an action of testing takes place. You can’t have sex with an HIV-positive person and not contract the disease just because you have positive thoughts, am I right? And once you get AIDS, you can’t deny it.
“Physician, heal thyself”. Isn't that what the Bible says? But some diseases can’t be healed, right? They can only be prevented. There is a certain negativity about blind optimism- that is positive thought gone too far. Freedom and liberation in God’s word as I have read it has to be tempered by responsibility, accountability, and conscientiousness, which I see as synonyms. Freedom in itself, without those three, are "just as detrimental as slavery" (http://www.radicallyinclusive.com/). I believe this. I believe that not getting sick is a matter of how conscientious you are with your body- use common sense! Make sure your sexual partner ain't sick and make sure you boost your immune system- positive thinking plays a role in the latter action, but too much positive thinking, positive thinking without the common sense of conscientiousness, leads to blindness and slavery in making dumb mistakes that can kill you. I think that this is what is meant by “Physician, heal thyself;” and that the miracles of Jesus in the way he healed people is that he never doubted that God’s will was for people to be healthy and positive, and that his abundance in God’s love alone was enough to heal some people. But for us regular folks out there who ain't Jesus- the way we heal ourselves is by not being negative and by not being stupid- be conscientious and positive.
Some Christians even go too far with their freedom in God’s word- they reject modern medicine entirely! Now I disagree with my fair share of the kind of shit the pharmaceutical companies are trying to shove down our throats, but for God’s sake, some medicine is just as holy as the Bible!

You are correct. If you do catch a preventable disease, though, there is no use being negative about it. It will only make things worse. You must have faith to overcome the suffering- strong faith, indeed. “Faith can move mountains,” have I not said that? Well, faith can also change matter.

But what about babies who get sick and die, or babies born with diseases contracted from the mother? We can’t blame negative thinking on them, right?

They are not victims of circumstance, they are saints of circumstance. You can call them martyrs if you like. They had no control over the situation, but everyone around them is accountable. I’m not talking about the immediate family; I’m talking about the whole world. Mankind is not born into sin, it is born into negativity and lies and fear. Those things lead to sin. You can call it “original sin” if you want (I shall have more to say on that later), but it’s up to mankind to get rid of it. Even man has a natural instinct to be afraid- why do you think children are afraid of monsters and shadows? It is a fear of the unknown that is inside every animal- and necessary to their survival. It has been in the human genetic code since primitive man lived in the jungle. But it can be taken too far, as it has been in our society. Our survival instincts of survival and fear and violence- they are impulses, but they can be controlled and transcended.

God ranting:
Look at where society is now- in the last century, you were told “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself,” and now president Bush and the media and leaders all over are telling you to be afraid. This is a fear-mongering society that thrives off the insecurity of its citizens- and you wonder why you get sick?

Children born into this world lack the information on God and education on health and positivity to control and transcend fear- from the moment they are born, most children cry uncontrollably. I can see why- the new mother is usually scared shitless, so it rubs off on the kid. [Also, he has no idea what's going on- the brightness, the break from the norm, the truama of being pushed out] No one person is to blame for the bad karma of the world that gets inside a kid, but at the same time, every one is to blame. We eat terrible food with chemicals, we poison our bodies with toxins, we sit in front of screens all day and have the nerve to wonder why good people such as children get sick.

But I tell you, death and suffering have both positive and negative qualities about them. The word victim is very wrong, as it indicates no control. But you always are in control- at least of your thoughts, and that’s all that matters (literally). There are no victims of environment or circumstance- the truth is out there, faith and hope and trust in God and love for self and humanity is out there, positivity is out there – GOD IS OUT THERE, and will never stay hidden forever; yet people CHOSE to break from God because it may convenience them, but that convenience is always only temporary. Can we blame people for this? YES and NO; NO because if we were in their shoes, can we honestly say we would chose differently; and YES because deep down, MOST PEOPLE will hear the cries of conscientiousness, and chose to ignore them. But I’m not judging people for that. Problems are mislabeled- they are opportunities in the form of a shocking, unpredictable, irreversible and profound impact. They inconvenience us, yes; they are unfortunate, yes; but they are opportunities always. Opportunities to express and define and create who you are. So you are sick, or your mother is sick, or your house burned down, or your dad died. That doesn't matter in the sense that you can’t control it. It was meant to happen because of causality, that is, it was inevitable from the big bang, or the genesis; whatever you call it. It had to happen. But the question I give you is: What are you going to do about it? What path will you chose- negative or positive? Will you learn from this event? It will always have the opportunity you allow you to grow into a higher person- that is, it can be the impetus to make you be who you always wanted to be, but were too lazy or too indecisive until this event made you change.

Let me tell you this: a child dies of a cold that goes too far, so all his brothers become doctors. They in turn save fifty more children out of a hundred. The child did not die out of punishment, or out of anyone in particular’s fault. But his death saved fifty children just like him.
Maybe the brothers become priests, or counselors…maybe they just go on with their lives but with a positive attitude and appreciate life more. They didn't ask “why me? Did our brother die for our sins? Is there something we could have done to save him?”Such questions are useless. But as you get older, you get more in control as you shed the yolk of childhood dependency and conditioning and animalistic impulses (stage one of washing away original sin). You become more conscious of your ways. And then you can become more responsible. You hit an age where you realize you cannot have pleasure without pain. You hit an age where you realize you will die, and never know how it will end. You hit an age when you realize civilization is going in a terrible direction. You either become complacent and take part in the lies, greed, and tyranny of evil men because you give up; because you chose not to think for yourself in order to be secure under the powerful at the top. Or you can never give up in the struggle to change things.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Take everything about society that you disagree with and embody your principles. Caring is not enough when it comes to something you are passionate about. You actually have to get out there and intervene if you TRULY care. You don’t necessarily have to be politically active or outspoken or anything; just live out the changes of your ideals- be a walking Truth to counter-act the already existing Truth that directly opposes you- such a contradiction in life people will see, and will then have the opportunity to chose your truth over society’s existing truth. This is because the truth has an energy to it that for every idea there is an equal and opposite one. The truth will always be brought to the life. As long as you live your truth, your ideals and hopes and dreams- that is enough.

So I want you to leave me today with knowledge that you CAN change things, even if it is subtle (it can always snowball). Be conscientious, use common sense, have faith in God’s promise of resurrection, be positive, and be real. Be authentic. Don’t half-step. Put your heart into your work. Be passionate in everything you do. God’s will is always being done, but it is up to you to get on the bandwagon of peace, love and understanding. It is the Holy Revolution of Common Sense, it is why you are here today reading this- because you seek truth. And you shall receive it. Because you are God. Because a good attitude, a good heart, is beauty. Because at your best you are Truth, Love, and Beauty. And so to is everyone else, because God is in everyone. We all need each other to equally distribute the burdens of each other- we as a society must be there for each other in times of need. We need each other. We can’t exist without our brethren. Brothers and sisters, love everyone as family because we are the offspring of the Lord. Be true to thyself, to thy immediate brethren, then to all the rest of your brethren. The world depends on it. You depend on it.

Let us end with a prayer, and remember, before you say it out loud, know that the Lord has already answered it:
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Now if you have any prayers you wish to add, please say them now. And please meditate on what I have spoken to you. Now go out and live your life and have fun and be true. Participate in God as much as you can. Peace.
