Recently, an 11 year old girl, Madeline Kara Neumann, passed away as her loving family prayed for her healing from a mild form of diabetes.
This does not sound like an unusual event. What makes it different is that she was denied any medical help that could have saved her.
I do not condemn anyone in this, but a lesson needs to be made clear.
As healers, we need to be aware that we cannot control the acceptance of God's Love in another. Sometime it just escapes our minds as we struggle with our ego or objects. We have many man made miracles that can help each other ... band-aids ... I think God inspired them.
God's Love works no matter what the world dishes out. God doesn't stop caring for the sick because another Doctor is on the case. God's Love is first defence against illness, but sometime the soul just doesn't get it and we need the help that our fellow human's can offer.
I felt offended when, in the defence of the family's choice, an Evangelical Church pointed out how many people die each year from Doctor's errors. (and I am not a doctor) They didn't point out how many more live and find relief from suffering with a doctor's help. They didn't point out that we are here to help each other and that by denying their daughter the help that was here for her they also deny the help that we can do for each other.
Anger at the greed in the medical profession, coupled with a trend in our society to believe doctors are the 'healers' - to the exclusion of awareness of God's Love/Chi Source, seem to be the motivating factors. Wanting to prove one is right by risking the life of another is not Faith. All tools at our disposal need to be used ... Holy Spirit is Guiding.
When I am doing energy work, there is a point at which I must admit if I am really helping. If what I can do is not helping, then it is always my suggestion to try something/someone else. Generally, I suggest going to the doctor first and never interfere with what course of healing the patient needs to get well. Don't base healing in your ego ... this is magic thinking. Magic is an illusion and you may get results but they do not last. And when the magic doesn't work, if one has erroneously placed their faith in it, tragedy can occur.
There are all kinds of miracles all around us that we accept as common. Seeing them is a beginning to Christ Vision.
This is a lesson I am learning. This is a lesson for all of us. See how tricky the ego can be ... be Aware ...
I posted lesson 17 & 18 from ACIM-Manual For Teachers on this subject last night in the ACIM study group. I hope it makes sense to us.
Namaste

This is so beautifully stated. Thank you Gene, for the story and your insight.
As we have discussed, whew...passing through, to that place beyond, the higher estate...this is such a big deal. I would so like to understand it.
Love from Lyndell |

Hi Gene,
Being in balance with our decisions is absolutely critical in getting it right. Whenever we are stressed, we are prone to make the wrong decision, that is, to take the easy path as opposed to the right one. It's nobody's fault here, we've all done it for so long that we think it's right.
My mum was ill recently and I had promised her in the past that I wouldn't let her 'end up in hospital', as she had her concerns: "Once they get their hands on you, you are done for". However, that particular day, she could hardly move, there was no decision to be made. She had to go into hospital, I knew it, she knew it and my husband knew it: we knew it was right because it felt right.
Since having been admitted she has had her ups and downs, but all through it, we've known that it was the right course and taken every day as it came: what would be would be. It looks as though she'll be coming out this week!
Just the other day, my brother summed up the decisions we make in life. We are often given the choice of one of two paths to take in life. My brother has always taken the hard route (we're a stubborn bunch), but this is a major lesson for us all. If, whenever we are given a choice of paths to take, we take the one that is the scariest, not only do we know that it is the right route, but we'll also confront a fear or two on the way. What I'd like to add to this is that when we choose to confront our fears, life does become the adventure it is.
Life's a challenge - we have to live it to love it.

Hi Gene, Truth and Lyndell and whoever else cares to join this thread,
Urm we can't control God's love others accept. This is like when one tries to tell a person with self esteem issues that they are lovely they can't hear you or they filter out every word that is a compliment or love. URM!!!
The hard route hey!! I must be stubborn also but, maybe in a different way
I thought I always took the hard road? Yes it ended up being but, if I'd stuck with the real high road and not grabbed hold of the first intimidator I could find (unconsciously) then I'd not have had half the problems.
I wouldn't have shortcurcuited the process so many times
I infact ended up more blinded and increasing the suffering instead of actually shortcircuiting it.
But we live and learn lol!!!
Love

Recently made a depressing movie choice and rented "Sicko".
I wonder any more about medical system/big business healing
At this point i'll forget about our system and send lots of prayer and light
