to Marci about what I have learned

[Guest guest]

Dear marci ~ so good to hear from you again. You are so right, and I thank

you very much for sharing Amma's perspective and knowledge of healing. What has

my illnesses taught me. One major teaching is to bear the symptoms without

complaint. I am not always able to do this, but that I have at all shows a

level of maturity I would not have had before. It very definitely taught me to

be honest and open, which is a hard lesson, because if what I am being honest

about are my symptoms, some people get very nervous.

 

My sister, who has also struggled with the same illnesses, and I have both

lost friends because they have been unable to understand our limitations. So,

also it has taught me to be more accepting and patient, more forgiving. If I

get mad about other people's behavior, I am the one who suffers the

consequences of that feeling, very directly in my body. So my body has become

an

instant feedback barometer. In some ways it always has been, but too often I

have

chosen to go against its messages. I am learning to love and attend to my

body, which is very much connected, for some reason to the two-year old and the

five-year old Linda.

 

I have also learned to appreciate life and nature on a much more subtle

level and I am thankful for this every day. I am so glad you gave me the

opportunity to explore what I have learned. It is all too easy to be angry at my

body, and I still have inner work to do. Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda P.S. someone

website, but where do you find the archives. I would love even to read past

issues.

Again, my deep appreciation.

....i remember the first time i saw Amma in Iowa. . .She talked about

healing. . . she said there were three possible outcomes to the request

for healing. . . #1. There would be healing with the request. . .#2.

Healing would be a slower process because the soul's growth was linked

with the overcoming of the disease. . . #3. Healing of the physical

problem would not occur because the disease was a karmic fulfillment. .

.. and the healing on this later catagory would occur in the ability to

withstand the physical and overcome at a spiritual dimension. . .Know

Amma will help you to bring forth the highest good. . . .What have you

learned from your disability? . .i have found that dealing with the

physical often brings forth a honesty and surrender. . .a reliance on

the Source that is greater. . .May the best come forth for you dear Amma

sister...
