Self-Realization
is a
Functional Awareness of Soul, i.e. Soul-Recognition. Soul-Recognition
is
the Source of Health and Healing. Self,
the physical body, is the means by which we
perceive Soul,
and thereby receive Divine Love, hence the importance of cleaning it
and
keeping it pure, for God alone. This purification implies the investigation and removal of the inner resistances to receiving Divine Love that have been planted there by environmental inheritance. Surrender
means letting go of the fight, laying down the
weapons
of war, allowing God's will to unfold as it may, and relinquishment of
preference or attachment to outcome. It
is
most often done upon discovery
of a teacher or a path. Enough
Surrender and your True Self will emerge. Your
True Self, or Soul, is the means by which your
body receives Love. Your
false self (ego) is the means by which it receives
the punishment
that it is due in your mind. If you use your body for the accomplishment of artificial goals for the sake of artificial responsibilities, then in effect you are saying that is what this body is for, it is not worth anything else, and that's certainly a form of self-punishment. People will lay their bodies on the line for their ideals, no matter how perverse those ideals may be. The last thing on their minds is the concept of laying down the struggle. They call it "giving up" and will "never" do it. But
inner peace is a requisite for real health. A
peaceful heart is the absolute
requisite for a peaceful body. Without
peace there can be no perception
of love. And
it
is the perception of love that heals the body,
heart
and mind. And
where does this love come from? What
is
the means by
which we can attain to it and perceive it and receive it? It
is
not outside
of us, so we have to stop
looking. It's
only when we stop seeking that
we can feel. As
long
as we are seeking we're still in our minds and
projecting
a time or a place when or where we will discover something. But that
"something"
is not "located" in any place or time. It is not "out there" or
somewhere
to be "found". "The goal is not found by seeking, yet only the seekers find it". Soul does not need healing. That would be like saying God needs healing. God does not need healing. God is the Healer. It is from God that the energy of Love, support and maintenance of the Soul comes.So the Soul, created in God's image, and supported completely in its capacity as the highest and most perfect manifestation of God's Self-Recognition, Love and Perfection, does not need healing. It has and is everything we need. But the self needs to discover the soul completely in order to rise to its fullest potential. And
it
does this by means of dissolving itself in the
remembrance
of God. w/love
