I. The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 10

10 You cannot be happy unless you do what you will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by God’s Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not be extended. You are afraid to know God’s Will, because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here, because this is the belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this you hide in darkness, denying that the light is in you.

I can be happy only if I accept that my true will is the same as God’s Will. Denial of this is what causes all sickness, all fear and all suffering. Let me be specific here. Denial of my true will is where cancer and strokes and heart attacks come from. It is where sick relationships, and poverty and all forms of unkindness come from. All of these things are simply projections of images we make to express the beliefs in in our mind, and the belief behind all beliefs is that we have a will separate from and different from God’s Will.

The healing of all forms of suffering is in accepting God as our creator and ourselves as an extension of all He is. It comes from accepting that we have only one true will and that it is the Will of God. It heals all things because it is not God’s Will that suffering exist in any form, and so suffering cannot exist.

Suffering seems to exist because we insist on believing in a will that is not God’s Will. We can continue to do this as long as we can stand it, but it is completely unnecessary that we do so. It is true that nothing is real in the world and that nothing is actually happening. But as long as we believe in the world, suffering will be real to us. All suffering falls away as we withdraw our belief in it, and we do that by withdrawing our belief in a will that allows suffering.
