| BkII:9.II.5 | You need not wait to be happy. You can be happy now, and I ask you to do so now. Healing and happiness are the same. Nobody is happy when sick. I shall eliminate the concept of illness in the mind and when this has happened completely, you cannot experience it as you have until now. All disease and suffering come from the separation of your being. In other words, when you separate yourself from your being, you experience sickness and suffering. What does it mean to separate from your own being? It means that you perceive something in yourself that you do not want, and by not wanting it, you look for all possible means to "get rid” of it. This includes the attempt to get rid of feelings, thoughts, sensations, and any perceived states that you do not like in yourself or others, which is the same. This has already been discussed, but now we take a step further, so that you can find a way to free yourself from that mental-emotional mechanism of escape. |
