Heal my disbelief!
by Mark McFeely
Ellie's
disbelief was not all within her own mind. It was in the hearts and minds
of those around her who could not, would not, see her whole. Ellie had
stood up in front of her friends and declared her desire to regain the
sight in her left eye. There were supportive nods, exclamations, shouts
and Hallelujahs. But, there was also questioning, and thoughts of "Oh
Yeah?", "We will see what happens" or "Some chance."
Most of these people had known Ellie for some years. They were familiar
with her, and her ways. They had heard her make these kinds of statements
in the past, and nothing had ever come of them before, so why would it
be any different now?
Ellie had lost her eye as the result of a problem related to high blood
pressure. It had ruptured and was irretrievably damaged. Everyone knew
this, and knew that it was not possible to do anything medically. On top
of Ellie's own fears that a miracle might not happen, she had to deal
with the collective intelligence that was based on the evidence, and what
each of her friends knew or thought about her. These were not bad people.
I am sure that none of them would have wished her any harm, and yet, they
were working against her, even if it was unconsciously. Faith is such
a wonderful thing, and at the same time it is so fragile. Imagine if for
one moment, they could let go of their knowledge, doubts and concerns,
and open to the possibility of an absolute miracle occurring. What then?
I know that in my healing practice I have to go past any self-consciousness
in calling for a miracle. The intimidation comes from thinking; "What
if I call for this miracle, and nothing happens? I might look stupid,
and lose credibility." Yes, there is a risk involved in such outrageousness.
The real risk is not that you might fail in manifesting a miracle, but
that you might succeed. How would you handle the success? Don't be afraid.
You will not have swarms of people running to you for your touch. You
see, people do not really expect a miracle, especially not for themselves.
This is not logical, but it is so.
I read recently in the national press that over 55% of Americans believe
in miracles. On the strength of these statistics, I presume that most
of you who read "The Light" would say that you do believe in
miracles. The real question is not if you believe in miracles, but do
you/would you believe in a miracle just for you. So maybe you've experienced
a miracle already. But, what if you needed a second, or third one? Would
you believe that it was possible, or decide that you had already used
up all your quota of chances? Would you let yourself think that it was
just a fluke, or that you had imagined it. When so many people believe
in miracles, why don't we have more? Why do we keep trying the hard way?
Are we so unworthy? Are we so addicted to struggle? What is your answer?
Well, I do believe in miracles. I have seen, experienced, been part of,
and facilitated many miracles. The real problem is that most people can't
actually deal with the consequences of a miracle. They find it hard to
accept that it has actually happened to them. They start to analyze it
and pull it apart, looking for proof that it is not real. It might begin
with the feeling that it is too good to be true. Often it's not so much
a question of miracles not happening, as people not being there when the
miracles show up. Perhaps they don't want to wait for the result in case
they are disappointed. Remember the line in the movie "Pretty Woman"
when Julia Roberts says; "The bad stuff is easier to believe".
Getting back to Ellie; where would you fit in her life? Would you give
totally to the manifestation of her heart's desire, without measurement,
judgment or criticism? Or, would you be part of her disbelief? Would you
sit back quietly, waiting to see what happens, or would you be actively
energizing and calling for her transformation?
What we think and feel about each other is important, and does have an
effect. Do not lock each other into old images. Allow room for something
new to take place. Let go of the feelings of "Here we go again".
Let your vision be greater than the current, apparent reality. Inspire
yourself and others to go beyond what may seem possible. Choose and visualize
the best for each other. Do not entertain derogatory thoughts about yourself,
or another person, especially in unguarded moments. Be part of the solution
- not part of the problem. Pause for a moment right now and ask yourself
quietly; "Whose life can I change today? Where is that person to
whom I can be someone special today? What miraculous happening can I be
a part of today?"
Remember, we can make a real difference by opening up to new possibilities.
Heal your own disbelief, and possibly, someone else's. Don't just expect
a miracle. You make it happen!
"Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature,
but in contradiction to that which is known to us in nature". -St.
Augustine.
