All problems are just an indication of where you are not totally aligned with the vision your Higher Self has for you. For your Higher Self, or Spirit, there is no problem; situations and people are being what they are, appearing as they are, with no judgment. Spirit, being all Light, cannot even see the darkness. As light appears, darkness is no more. As you make yourself one with Spirit, you are not able to experience the darkness either. There are always problems for us human beings, because we have not incorporated all the attributes of Spirit into our consciousness in the specific area where we seem lacking, missing or not having something that we desire.
If you have a certain issue, or problem, or disease, it’s just an indication that somewhere, you are not in alignment with Spirit; you have not activated some qualities needed for your evolution. To help you discover what they are, start by asking yourself questions such as these:
1. If this condition was never to change, if it was to remain with me for the rest of my life, how could I still live a fulfilled, peaceful and productive life in spite of it? What qualities would I have to develop, in what ways would I have to change in my thoughts, feelings, my environment? What would I need to do, or stop doing?
Write down all the answers that come to mind; qualities you could develop; the thoughts and feelings you would have to let go of, the actions you could take, or on the contrary, stop taking. Such as, have more trust, patience, integrity; be kinder, more supportive, more generous, compassionate; stop talking about your ills and misfortunes; extend help to others, show genuine interest in their lives. Whatever comes to mind, for you. And then, when you have fully explored that, and have a written record, then bring to mind your issue again.
2. And now imagine that it was miraculously solved! That you have found that ideal loving partner; that you got the raise you were hoping for, or that you have won the lottery; that you are now free of the disease you had, or that your child is now out of danger. Whatever it is, imagine it resolved in the best possible way. What would be your feelings now? How would you act, who would you become, what qualities would be activated? Gratitude, joy, generosity, power, confidence, safety and security, authority – what would be the qualities of feeling and being you experience? Write those down below those you already have.
Now notice that while doing this exercise, in spite of still having your issue, you already feel a little better. You have generated, from within yourself, all those good feelings; and they are the substance of your future. The longer you can stay in those feelings, consciously practice them in your everyday life, the brighter your future will become, regardless of circumstances.
Look over your list of qualities, and choose one from each section, that you will do your best to implement into your life, right now. To be joyful, or compassionate, or patient, whatever the circumstances. Do it for a day, then pick two other qualities; or do the same ones for a week, and then change to others from your list; those that most resonate with you at any given time. Be consistent with this practice; and watch how, little bit by little bit, your life starts to feel so much better!
