The other night I woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning. I want to spare you with details but I had all the typical symptoms like wanting to be sick, cold sweats etc. and it was crystal clear that my body would be cleansing itself from both ends very soon, so I got up. I was lucky in a way as I was still able to take some precautions and so I got the bucket out, went to the bathroom and then decided to go back to bed with my bucket until my body was ready to do what it had to do. I left the light on and the doors open so that I could be quick. 

Last thing I remember was a little prayer I sent "to them upstairs" to make up their minds from which end the clear-out would happen. Next thing, I wake up two hours later and ALL symptoms had GONE. I couldn't believe it! There was no more signs of anything wrong with me, yet I knew, I had been suffering food poisoning earlier during the night, for sure! I was even able to track down what had caused it (my own fault!) and in my mind I had already accepted the lesson I learned from it.

No signs of food poisoning also on the following day…….. Then it dawned on me... I had fully accepted the course my body was taking, had given myself to the flow of life and was ready to go through it without question. If there is no question we don't get in the way (with our thinking). A wound can simply heal because we don't doubt that it will. Health is simply the absence of interfering in any way.

Healing can not be done willingly because we use the same creative force, our mind, that has created the perception of a "problem" in the first place. That's why any sickness is described as "a defense against the truth" in The Course of Miracles. As soon as something appears in the body which we judge as sickness we missed the point, as such statement is always personal and can never be truth. Truth is pure and can only ever be perfect because it is before any judgement.

Healing comes from faith. It is a side effect of KNOWING how the system works and then letting it happen. We can't do it, but we can let life do it. Life knows better anyway. And I didn't do anything to let it happen either. I also didn't try to get better consciously. As it was, I simply allowed life to be what it is and do what it does and the outcome was a little miracle.

Any form of trying to change or resist something or even just checking in with the body already reflects our disbelief that all is perfect as it is now. Then we get what we think as a result in our body. Any (health) issue is just a reflection of lacking faith into our natural state, into the nature of our true self, the spiritual essence which doesn't change and which can never be harmed as it simply IS as it is, perfect.
