Читать книгу There Is a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem - Уэйн Дайер, Wayne Dyer W. - Страница 16

Give some thought to the following three quotes from the scriptures.

• “God is too pure to behold iniquity.”

• “God made all that was made and all that God made was good.”

• “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil, you cannot tolerate wrong.”

Almost identical observations have been made in all religions. The Holy Koran puts it this way, “Whatever good you have is all from God, whatever evil, all is from yourself.”

If God is good and God made everything, then everything is good. God cannot behold iniquity. So where does all of this stuff that we lump into the category of problems come from? The answer is obvious. When we come to believe that we are separate from God we experience this feeling of separation in our mind, and our mind tells us that we have a problem. The problem, created by our beliefs and existing in our mind, causes us to feel an absence of peace or love. Those beliefs can manifest as disease in our bodies. We begin searching for a solution.

But in reality, since God is only about good, and God is everywhere, what we have done is separate ourselves in our mind from God. Though we find ourselves suffering with these problems, everything that we label a problem is an illusion.

You can see why it is so important to see any and all problems as things that we create in our mind. If we can create non-good or non-God in our mind, then we can also not create them in our mind even though we may have no idea how to do that. Our conditioning is so strong that we often have far greater faith in our problems than we do in our ability to no longer have them.

We often display a much greater faith in the power of cancer, heart disease, or AIDS than we do in the power to heal them. We do this in a multitude of ways. We become enamored of the problem and its damaging effect. We live out the illusion while ignoring the fact that nothing iniquitous can be of God, and God made everything. The evil, the pain, the anguish are of our own creation and they represent opportunities to gain that greater learning that A Course in Miracles describes.

I know that some of these ideas sound strangely impossible to implement. I ask you to keep an open mind as we travel this path of healing to bring peace back into your life on a permanent basis.

The Eastern gurus use the term maya (illusion) to describe the existence of problems that really do not exist. The universe is good. God is good. God is everywhere. God is invisible spirit. Anything that is not good cannot exist. But we feel it does, so we have to come up with a solution, and this is the very reason why I have felt so compelled to write this book. There is a solution. It sits there right in front of you.

The last seven chapters of this book provide you with a series of easy-to-apply solutions to this puzzle. For now, however, let’s take a brief look at the word solution as it applies in the title of this book.
