You as Spirit created your body. Your body did not create you as Spirit. You, the spiritual being, created your body as your expression in manifestation. Every molecule of your body is your responsibility and your creation. Take charge of that. Problems only really occur when people begin to give bits of themselves away. "My mother owns this part of me and my father owns that part, my lover this other piece”, and so on. You begin to have less and less control over your space, and thus, less authority.
Within your personal space, you are meant to be in charge. There can be no debate on this point. With this truth in mind, you can simply tell your body it is totally all right to make change. All the energy you let go, all the healing you do, comes from supporting and believing in yourself, from nurturing your body. The goal is to expand on that experience.
The person who does little or no healing is the person whose body just says "no". This is clear evidence of the body senior state. The body is afraid of the unknown and of things it cannot understand. It can only understand your programming in your present state. That is what it knows.
Your body operates off your programming much as a computer does. So when you are telling your body to let go of a piece of programming or of a way of being, it asks "What are we going to replace it with? Give me hard cold facts on how it is going to be." If you do not have a definitive answer, then your body says, "In that case, I am not going to let it go." It is really important to say "yes" to the fact that you do not know how things will be. You are stepping into an unknown reality as you do your healing and that is just part of the excitement.
You need to help your body adjust to the idea it is OK to go into the unknown because there are a lot of places it will not comprehend. This is when faith comes in and plays a big role in the journey. Bodies do not have faith; spiritual beings do. Bodies want the hard facts. You have to consciously choose and convince your body to give you, the Spirit, the time and freedom to move forward. "I don't know what my new reality is going to be because I am not there yet, but I know it is OK to let go of these pieces because I don't want to live them anymore." The more you touch into yourself as Spirit, the more you touch into Source, and the more faith you have. You are working towards a time when you can make decisions without needing anything to back them up. You will know you are making the appropriate decision, but you will not be able to say why. "I know it to be true because I have faith”. Rest assured your body will not like this state, but that is the way of the Spirit.
Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, and many others were individuals blessed with unshakeable faith. They believed, without question, 100 % in God, in Source. Although there will always be something out there to shake your faith, all spiritual teachers of integrity have one thing in common: their faith in their knowledge of Source. They know Source is everything and there is no debate about it. With that level of faith, your body will be easily convinced of the wisdom of change and growth. Allow yourself to have more faith in you and in Source because you are unlimited; your nature is unlimited.
Any discomfort in your space is simply bits and pieces of foreign energy your body does not want you to let go of. It believes you do not have any other choice... but you do. Remember, it is all about programming, it is all about how your body has been set up to operate. The computer analogy is a good one. The programming is there, and even if you do not believe in that programming, your body will still run it and even go so far as to operate defense mechanisms against any suspected change. It will always try and defend the programming, even though a lot of that programming is not in your highest integrity or wholeness.
Your body's defense mechanism could involve abusing or hurting yourself. There may be programming in your space saying this is what you are supposed to do. You do not, however, have to concede. The way out is to say "hello" directly to how you hurt yourself, determine what it is based on, and release the programming. This requires being neutral and asking how you hurt or abuse yourself. There are many different versions of this. It can be as simple as a negative thought or an abusive message going around and around in your head. There is often a masochistic element. Your body may take a kind of pleasure in the suffering.
Ask yourself, "What is my pleasure pain? How do I suffer? What does my body do? How does my body take over to the point where it gets me to hurt myself?" There are extremes cases where people will physically hurt themselves all the time. They have frequent accidents and are always in pain. The same could be true on an emotional level, where suffering is simply a way of life. People also frequently involve themselves in relationships where they are setting themselves up to be hurt; whether they are friendships, sexual relationships or one of the many other forms of relating, the point of the interaction is to wound, to hurt, to draw energy.
There are many different levels of suffering. There are the people who are in a constant stress around money and/or survival. This is just another way of hurting yourself. There are also people who pick fights and get into arguments. They get into stressful situations as a way of continuing their suffering. On a physical level, someone may chose to eat food that is bad for them, or do harmful drugs, finding any way to hurt their body. If you do any of these things it is important to refrain from blaming yourself and taking on guilt. Say hello to your state. Awareness is the gateway to freedom.
You will notice your body attempt to talk you into the behaviour. It will come up with many reasons to do it. It might have a lustful desire for the cigarette or the junk food or the bad relationship. It is just operating off its programming, saying: "This is the way it is. We are never meant to be loved cleanly, we are meant to be loved from abuse and that is the way the universe is. This is how we were meant to exist and we are going to create it." Your body may tell you that. It is up to you as Spirit to say, "We are not going to do that now." You have to talk your body out of the programming because it can be very persuasive.
All self-destructive behavior is based on a wound. Allow yourself to say hello to the wound upon which the behavior is based. This does not mean you will never eat junk food again, but rather that you are willing to take the time to simply say hello to it. I suggest you do not try to go "cold turkey" with any healing project. Just be aware of the situation and the programming, and work to make shifts with it. Have your intention be health on all levels. You cannot truly heal the issue, without bringing it to the surface, and saying hello to it first. The key is to realize it is not right, wrong, good or bad. Stay out of judgment. Look at the issue and decide what you want to do about it. Remember, awareness is not judgment; stay in a state of yes and validation. In fact, awareness creates freedom. When you are aware you are going to hurt yourself, you can shift it even before you manifest it. Without that awareness, you create it and are wounded by it.
Now, say hello to "the martyr". Many people are programmed to be martyrs. The basic philosophy says that if you are enjoying your life, then there is something wrong with you. Be assured teachers of integrity do not teach this; "Everybody, stay in the state of suffering and pain, OK?" Suffering is a body issue; it does not need to be a spiritual practice. Maintaining control over others with the martyr game is not a spiritual concept; it is a body game. In fact, one of the simplest ways a spiritual teacher without integrity can warp his/her followers is to take a spiritual truth, put a lie in it and wrap it up and feed it to the people. They cannot separate the truth from the lie.
If you believe you create your reality, you have unlimited options for what you can do. You can choose a state of martyrdom or something else entirely. It is amazing that all you need to do is use the phrase, "What would it be like if?" Use this phrase to get past your body's objections. It convinces the body that you are just thinking about it. "What would it be like if I was at ease with my life"? Once you have the picture, the feeling, you can be at ease. Your body might say, "NO!", but you can tell it to just hold on while you try something. The martyr script and the masochistic programming is the stuff that will try and talk you out of it. That is when spiritual seniority is so important.
When healing self it is essential to stay in present time, let go and avoid expectations. They are future; why be in the future when right now is what you are doing? Consider whether you like how you are in this minute. Are these the thoughts you want? The way you want to be? Practice shifting the thought pattern. What you think and believe, is your reality, whether it be manifest or not you are living it. Put out what you want from a place of integrity, without being attached, then you can let the future take care of itself. Let it happen. It is not in your reality yet. Letting it go is absolutely key.
It is important to remember not everyone is in support of your highest integrity. There are many people whose unconscious choice is to be an energy predator. This is not right or wrong but it is a good thing to be aware of. On a certain level, you always know what someone else's intent is, but so often you choose to pretend that it is not really the case. The reality is when you open your eyes on a spiritual level, you realize not everyone is out for your healing. It is up to you to choose with whom you want to spend your time. Some of your relationships are based in old unhealthy programming. The key is not to judge. They make their choices, and it is up to you to decide if you want to play with them or not. You can choose to own your space and choose healing self over harming self. You are worth it, your freedom is at hand, be aware and make a choice.
