The god of Sickness

“You can give up the god of sickness for your brothers; in fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for yourself. For if you see the god of sickness anywhere, you have accepted him. And if you accept him you will bow down and worship him, because he was made as God’s replacement. He is the belief that you can choose which god is real.”

This is so clear! Ok, where in my life do I have the opportunity to give up the God of sickness for my brothers? When I think about my dear friend being depressed and an addict, I am worshipping the god of sickness and increasing my belief in it and this affects us all, including my friend. This is my motivation for releasing this worry.

I see that it is the belief in the god of sickness and I would give it up. So when I notice worry thoughts about my friend, I remember that this is not what I want to keep in my mind and not what I want to reinforce within our shared mind. I ask the Holy Spirit to show me another way to see this.

This works in all cases such as it did when I had a temporary cash-flow problem. Here is what I wrote at that time.
When I was worried about my financial situation, I recognized this as just another sick thought no different than the thought that the body could suffer. Both stemmed from the belief in lack and loss. I knew immediately that I did not have any use for the belief in lack and that I would be helping all of us if I released that thought. When I let it go, I had an inspiration about things I could do in the world to correct the situation. The correction required faith and patience but I can do faith and patience.

Correcting the symbol, that is the loss of money, was the effect of correcting the belief that manifested as the financial problem. It is important to remember that there really is only one problem and one solution. That solution when applied and accepted not only frees the mind to hear the inspiration that corrects the symbol of loss, but it helps to heal the mind of that belief so that another symbol does not so easily rise to take its place. These are just two examples but it is the same for all idols that I make to take the place of Universal Love.
