“God said: You can look at illness as a great mystery that descended on you, and not on the person next to you. You can take illness personally, or you can look at it less personally. You can also disregard illness. Does illness come from the mind of man? Is it created? If no one believed in illness, would the world have it? If there were no medicines, would there then be the need for them? If there were no doctors, whom would you look to? Illness seems as though it is a part of life, yet where is that written?” http://www.heavenletters.org/the-upside.html
“Many stand guard over their ideas because they want to protect their thought systems as they are, and learning means change. Change is always fearful to the separated, because they cannot conceive of it as a move towards healing the separation. They always perceive it as a move toward further separation, because the separation was their first experience of change.” A Course in Miracles 4-1
“God said: If your thoughts and your emotions play a part in your life, what good do you imagine that justifying your resentment does for you now? If the Universe responds to your thoughts according to your stance, what is the Universe likely to deliver to you? When you play a certain note on the piano, what note are you going to hear? When you play a low note, you don’t hear a high note back. Your delivery (your thoughts and emotions and your repetition of them) likely will echo back. When the Universe hears the note you sing, it’s likely it will echo the tone of what you sing.” http://www.heavenletters.org/you-are-the-baker.html

Making versus Creating
Since the last technological century, we have been making or fabricating a plethora of objects that do not serve mankind as much as we thought they would. Space itself on and above the earth has become a junkyard. We could call this socio-technological phenomenon the anarchic and chaotic multiplication of objects. It is not the intelligent, loving and unified chaos of particles that generate universes but rather a chaos of fabricated objects that degenerate our universe through our lack of vision, coherence unity, and sharing. It is universally known that we have reached a state of planetary imbalance that needs correction, that is healing. In the age of medical progress, almost one out of two Caucasians will die of cancer. The second one will most likely die of a heart-related disease. The fault is thrown on the back of the environment: processed foods, chemical pollutants, job stress, bad life habits, unstable economies, job loss, insecurity of the future, competition, loneliness, etc. Louis Pasteur used to say: “The microbe is nothing. The environment is all.” But what environment are we really talking about? Is it an environment out there or the environment in here, within us? Einstein used to say that we cannot find the solution to a problem at the same level as the problem itself.
But what do we do with our technological knowledge? We try to bring solutions to problems exactly at the same level as the problems themselves! Of course, we have to in our 3-D life. But life goes much beyond 3-D living. We have a technology of emergency, a hyper sophisticated technology of the short term. A new virus appears, a new vaccine is developed. There are no permanent solutions to problems that are perceived in dualistic terms: fighting and eliminating the threatening enemy, either potential or actual. The war between opposites is endless. This is not to discredit all the blessings that technology has brought us but what should be only a means, a supportive one, has become an end in itself.
The fascination of short-term technology and the object disease
We have discussed at length (Blogs #48-49-50) that we create what we observe and that we are what we observe. This still sounds theoretical, especially in the realm of human diseases, but it is more down to earth than one might think.
One major corollary of the above premise is that the body is the idea of separation made visible. It is said that we cannot separate an idea from its source. We have an idea of where ideas come from. So, when we are talking about disease of the body, are we not talking about the disease of the mind that identifies with the body, that is the sickness of the mind that believes in the reality of separation? Isn’t death of the body the ultimate disease of each and every one of us, hence the ultimate (virtual) reality of separation? Yes, in our dualistic mode of thinking, death is the enemy of life and, as such, we have to fight that enemy, by all means.
Death, diseases (as rehearsal deaths), the body, and the environment are of the mind. They are produced by projection, hence by belief. A body cannot be sick by itself or we should say that the body cannot make itself sick because it doesn’t have any will power of its own. It is neutral. It cannot exist without a mind (or more broadly speaking, a soul). Hence, when we think or believe in healing the body, we do forget that in reality, it is not the body that needs healing, but the mind.
This seems farfetched, yet it is consistent with its premise. The world of perception lies in the belief in the reality of separation, hence on the belief in opposites, in separate and contradictory wills that conflict with each other and even with the unity that gave birth to those separate wills. Moreover, acknowledging that the mind makes the idea of separation visible through the body, we must also acknowledge that a segment of the mind feels disconnected from the Universe in the wholeness of its purpose. This disconnection or misconnection generates suffering through a sense of lack, abandonment, loss, and, above all, a lack of wholeness.
It then occurs that the mind, believing that it is limited to the body, must reconstruct its wholeness through the body as a proof of separation. By projection in accordance with its belief, the mind divides itself into multiple little fragments and desperately try to reconstruct its wholeness by reassembling these fragments. But with the idea of separation comes automatically the loss of the connection. The mind deludes itself in its sense of wholeness.
What is left to the mind is to make or fabricate separate objects as a way to reconstruct and maintain its seeming wholeness. This is the very foundation of contemporary technology. Then the mind cannot stop producing objects as if it was the only way of justifying its separate existence. Not only can’t the mind stop itself from producing external objects, it seems to irresistibly accelerate its production like a cat running after its tail. Short-term technology, accelerated production based on having more and giving less are the main parameters of the resulting economic system which is the economy of a split and deluded collective mind.
Hence the individual objects produced by the mind become more and more deprived of meaning, identity, purpose as they multiply exponentially in number and in shorter and shorter time. The objects are no longer recognizable by their own maker. They become de-identified, de-purposed objects. They become cancerous cells.
In all its forms, cancer is all about the loss of identity, and participation — which is the real purpose — of a cell from the original organism to which it belongs. It lost its purpose, its wholeness by separating its identity from the whole. The identity-less cell still has the ability to multiply, to proliferate but it considers the organism from which it came as a stranger and feeds on it in order to multiply itself. This is the cancerous cell’s energetic and economic system. The body becomes its fuel. Its incoherence or disconnectedness through its purposeless multiplication imbalances the coherence of the body cells that still have an identity, which is a connection with the whole of the organism. A cell becomes its own enemy. Is it a projected variation on oneness?
This doesn’t mean at all that people who have cancer are “wrong thinkers” while the others are “good thinkers”. They are more the visible expressions of a collective way of looking at the world (a mindset) as if everything was separated and disconnected. They are the ones who “chose” consciously or unconsciously to teach us by making visible what we collectively project by thinking that we have been downgraded to the status of makers whilst we basically are basically creators ignoring themselves. We have to go through a collective healing from the cancer of our split mind. We are part of the healing process of all those who are our experiencers and teachers of the separation process through cancer. Our healing goes through their healing as well as their healing goes through ours. We are what we observe.
Regaining our status of creators
The mindset of the maker is based on a sense of lack. It is perfectly normal in the 3-D world that we have to eat, to protect ourself from the cold, to weave clothes, to transport ourselves, etc. Yet, since matter is not real, all the varying states of our body and the world don’t have more reality than the idea of matter itself.
It follows that technology, which is our response to our sense of lack, relies on perception rather than on the knowledge of Reality. What we see and hear through our perceptions seems to have a concrete reality because matter acts as a gravitational lens (Blog #49), as a filter that reduces our awareness of Reality to only what responds to what we want to perceive. We filter Reality through perception as a way of refusing Creation as it is. Refusing Creation as it is is also denying that we have a Father/Mother that created us. We downgraded ourselves to the rank of makers by choosing to fabricate our own self. But the world we seem to have created is illusory, and if we defend it so fiercely, it is because we constantly fear that this world is not real. And it is not.
But our civilization has reached a turning point. Our growing awareness of the dead-end of perception and its technological byproducts is bringing us closer to the contact with Truth, which is real Knowledge. The Truth is that there is only One Will, and it is shared.
Real thoughts exist only if they are shared. Every thought that is not shared is a belief which generates a perception, hence an illusion. Every thought that is shared is a thought that creates. Through perception, we make by projecting. Through Knowledge, we create by extension. It is Hiroshima versus the Garden of Eden.
The energetic particles can respond to Knowledge as well as to perception. Yet the results are radically different.
Truth and perception (illusion) have no connection. They are impossible to connect to each other because perception is the negation of Truth. If the law of the relative world is CHANGE, it is because it is the only cure to separation. Truth, Love, Joy, Abundance, Perfect Security, Peace, Life don’t have any opposites because they are indivisible. So they don’t need any healing. What needs to be healed is the belief that their opposites have a real, autonomous existence. As such, disease and death are also changes that are cured to separation. When we know where separation occurs, we know where the healing must be applied. Perfect health is primarily a mind and heart state of wholeness that we recreate and that can mirror in the body. Yet, when our awareness eventually and willingly returns to oneness, the body, which is a means of experiencing separation, has fulfilled the function it was made for. When the healing of separation is accomplished, there is no more need for the remedy.
Creation signifies the end of belief, perception and illusion and the return to Reality. In the world of creation, change bears the name of infinite growth, which is the aim of Creation Itself.
