LOOK FOR THE "IMPOSSIBLE"
12-13-08
In 1992 in my meditation time I started praying
"impossible prayers" and creating meditations to give them more oompah.
The first one recorded in my journal on 12-13-92 was this one:
"No matter how buried one of my self-destructive beliefs might be, the
Presence within me will seek it out and obliterate it."
Think of how "impossible" this appears. How can a belief that is buried
be obliterated? If it is buried it is below my level of consciousness.
How can I deal with a belief I am not even aware of? How could I even
know that the Presence Within obliterated it if is buried?
I don't know the answers to these questions but I do know several
things. I know that it felt good to think God could do something like
that for me. Old toxic beliefs are buried within all of us. If all
things are possible to God, why not ask for things that seem to be
impossible. The Lord is surely a little impressed that we think He can
do the impossible!
I know, too, that old buried "stuff" started bubbling up after I
consciously prayed that little "impossible" prayer. I noticed it soon.
It would be like a bubble popping in my memory and some old horrid
experience from my past would come walking out. Freud said the deeper we
repress things the more havoc they can create when they do come out of
the subconscious.
I was so impressed with the way these old crippling pains started easing
out and how many of them I immediately received illuminations and
insights about that I had the thought, "Why not always pray for the
maximum possible solution in our spiritual life?"
When I would hear of some friend in an accident or ill, I would not say,
"Cancer! No need to pray for healing from that!" or "Oh my God! In
intensive care with four broken limbs! She may be a goner!" Instead, I
would visualize the very best thing that could happen for this person
with cancer or in intensive care. I claim no credit for it but I did see
some amazing things. I may not have created the healing attitude or
condition but I will say I gave the maximum shot of faith my mind could
conceive to the process.
It reminds me of a little woman a friend ran into and said, "Miss Sarah,
it looks like we are going to be in a war very soon, doesn't it?" She
said, "All I will say is it is not something I am going to give any
power with my consciousness."
Why not give the power of your consciousness over to the maximum
possible answer?
In that same year I found the worst alcoholic I have ever known in a
Florida AA center. He had quit drinking. I enticed him into moving back
home. I saw him playing music again, writing great songs, making new
friends and making peace with family members who had avoided him in his
years of alcoholism. He has now been sober for 20 years. His lovely
daughter now visits him and we sometimes all dine together. I am not
saying I did a thing that made this happen but I am saying it is exactly
what I visioned. I gave him my total belief and I asked the Lord for the
best possible answer.
Spiritual power does not need our activation. It just needs our
cooperation. We do not need to force it. We cannot force it. We only
need to free it of our doubt.
Each time you are tempted by the robotic mind to jump to a conclusion
about what God will or will not do, just stop and visualize the best
possible outcome. Free the Presence of your doubt. You have absolutely
nothing to lose and you may be surprised at the way your soul takes
wings.
