[THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE OF US]

Question:

Right now I am suffering from a virus. My physician said that I will be okay soon and it only needs time. It is nothing serious. The only thing that is bothering me is that because of this illness I often feel very tired. And at those times it feels I have little faith in the Universe and doing the support group. On the other hand, I keep on believing and waiting. Can you say something on behaving better in my situation?

Answer:

Part I: Your question involves the Principle that there is nothing outside of us. All that we see is our Self. This means that there is nothing to bring us harm or damage us in any way.

So, how is it that we experience such things as viruses? The answer is that we use all of our power - the Power of God - to create the illusion that we are powerless in the face of certain circumstances. We do this by accepting beliefs in limitation and powerlessness.

What is interesting is that your physician is reminding you that you are really fine. He is relying on your acceptance of his statement. When you are ready to tell the same thing to yourself, you will not need his intervention.

As for feeling tired, that is also something you have contrived to experience. You can use the same power to tell yourself that you are feeling vigorous.

Part I: If you are looking to open the belief that there is something outside of you, the starting place is the recognition that you accepted the belief in a power outside of you so that you could have the experiences that result from that belief. The purpose of this starting place is to make certain that you are clear that you are the power. The power is not outside of you.

When you are able to feel the power returning, you will begin to appreciate how your sense of being a victim and at the effect of the world around you is a contrivance, an intentional creation rather than the way the world is and a condition you have to learn to accept and live with.

Feeling powerful is a wonderful feeling. Enjoy!
