Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Over and over again, I have seen that when someone gets sick, especially when they are really sick as with cancer, the first response from their " spiritual " friends is, " What's your unfinished business that's causing this disease in you? " It is a rush to blame and to demonstrate that ill affected person's incompetent handling of their life and their irresponsibility regarding their deeply unhealed pain. Those " friends " seem to scream, " It's all your fault that you got sick! Now just do a lot of meditation to cure yourself. And if you don't cure yourself, well, then perhaps it's your fault that you are not strong enough, spiritual enough, or developed enough to heal yourself! " I even know of one fellow who didn't tell any of his friends that he had cancer! He realized that he would not get the support he needed, so he chose to not be burdened by their really hurtful lecturing and subtle blaming. Instead, he traveled that very difficult path to healing alone! Imagine! Oh, my heart thuds on the floor every time I get a whiff of this ugliness!! To read the rest of this Soul Answer Newsletter article, as well as many responses to it, please go to www.SoulAnswer.com/healthy_healing.html , and then to the last article on that page, " YOU CALL THAT SPIRITUAL?!! Series: A Healthy Approach to Healing #5, August 12, 2009 " And if you would like to receive these Soul Answer Newsletters twice a month, you can sign up for them at the very bottom of that page. I pray that they give you greater insights into what " spirituality " here on Earth is all about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
