“Sickness is not an appeal for health. It is a cry for love.”

This line from A Course in Miracles completely shifted how I understand illness.
It’s not about health. It’s about love. Everything is.

That’s why Spirit told me to name my ministry the Power of Love Ministry.

When we see someone experiencing sickness and we think it’s about finding a path to health, we are not seeing it correctly. Instead, we’re seeing hatred. We’re looking through the eyes of hatred instead of the eyes of love.

If we think it’s about physical healing, it’s actually about love.
It’s always about love.

Here’s what made a difference for me: I had to understand that I had a deep self-hatred. I didn’t know that when I began doing this spiritual work. I didn’t understand that.

But I came to know it. And when I realized I had this deep self-hatred, focusing on self-love became the only choice that made sense to me.

Now, looking back, I can see that was a life-changing decision.

It startled me to realize I had this deep self-hatred. But it was also very liberating.

I didn’t hate on myself for the self-hatred.
So I didn’t compound it.

Okay, brace yourself.

A Course in Miracles tells us: “If to love oneself is to heal oneself, Those who are sick do not love themselves.”

This isn’t about judging anyone who experiences illness. It’s about understanding what’s really happening at the level of the mind.

I truly believe that anyone experiencing illness who is intent on liberation, who is working with these teachings, is using their condition to put the pedal to the metal.

When you’re experiencing physical unwellness, emotional unwellness, mental unwellness on a moment-by-moment basis, it becomes a constant reminder to choose love.

And to surrender. To give up fighting, resisting, and trying to MAKE something happen.

EVERY CHALLENGE is a reminder to choose self-love and self-care and to work at the level of the mind. It’s a very strong incentive. It’s a very strong helper.

ACIM continues: “You will be made whole as you make whole. For to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the call for love.”

In our world today, there’s a lot of evidence of hatred. As far as I can tell, all hatred is self-hatred. The antidote to hatred is Love.

Everything is worth loving. Everything, everything, everything.
We don’t have to like every one, but learning to Love them anyway is healing to our mind.

Many times I’ve counseled people who are very seriously ill to not focus on trying to heal the body, but instead to just focus on their relationship with God. Letting the Love in.

Focusing on the relationship with love we learn to love ourselves and to be a loving presence in our own experience of ourselves. Giving up the judgments, the complaints, the condemnation, the hatred, and choosing love instead, then we can actually be helpful to others.

That release of the attachment to healing the physical, emotional, mental bodies is liberating to the mind. It’s liberating because the goal isn’t physical, mental, emotional healing. It’s really about awakening to the Christ within.

In our ego identification, we have attachment to healing the body, our finances, and the things of this world, which is totally understandable.

So let’s love ourselves in that process, in that human experience of seeing ourselves as lacking and trying to fix the lack from the outside in – when that’s not how healing happens.

Some of us can move faster, some of us move slower. And our job is to see the Christ in everyone and to have no judgments, no complaints, whatsoever. This is how we get to be truly helpful.

Love is the only healer that eliminates the belief underneath what ever the appearance of what we think the “problem” is.

In my year-long program, Masterful Living, we follow a path of healing. It’s an upward trajectory of healing that starts in our mind – letting go of all of the blocks to Love so that we can fully accept all the Love that God has for us. So that we can unleash our holiness and move towards true healing. Are you ready to transform your relationship with illness and discover the love that heals?
