Part 3: From Stress to Depress
Not dealing but healing
Again the secret is in allowance, the allowance of life in all its forms. Healing does not come by refusing to see the affliction. It is always an effect of allowing the affliction into perception, both into our feeling awareness and into our waking consciousness. We cannot heal a disease by avoiding the disease. Healing is not to be found elsewhere, with another authority, a different medication, or with another technique. It is found at the core of allowing life, with the wisdom that life, with its tendency towards harmony through all layers of form, is the greatest healer. The prescription of what is needed is found in the contraction. Where else could it be?
To open to Life, the greatest healer of all, we need to be able to open. This opening occurs as an effect of relaxation. In relaxation, we open up like a flower. In letting go, we reconnect with deeper layers of ourselves. In letting go also of these layers, we can suddenly and unexpectedly find we are home, in the formless, living, unrestricted and unconditional source of all we are, irrespective of time, space and speed. This source in unconditioned and exists outside of conditions. It excludes nothing.
We don’t need to be good enough for the transient portion of who we are to reunite with life through the portals of the here and now. We don’t need to first fix things about ourselves, because all we are is here already, in transformation and in the imprisoned, familiar emptiness in which all transformation occurs.
The healing is not in control, or conforming to an agenda or in anything we could plan. It is in the surrender, the allowance, the relaxation and the opening to the miracle of life itself.
