What if nothing needs fixing?

An inquiry

What if nothing needs fixing?

I’ve been pondering this question for a couple of days and the possibilities are staggering.

What if all the drama in our lives personally and collectively are the result of us trying to fix something.

Personally what if in the midst of my day I sit down take a deep breath and on the exhale let go of ALL the problems I think I have right now, just STOP for an instant and drop it ALL?

Soooo relaxing

Isn’t much of the drama in my life the result of me wanting to fix something?

What would it be like to not fix it? If something needs to be done just do it and leave the results be what they are?

If I don’t need to fix my own problems why do I think I need to fix other peoples problems?

Why is it that I see another who has issues? Do they? What makes me think I have the solution? I barely have the solution to my own “perceived problems” “that need fixing”.

Lets say just for a moment that All the nations in the world just dropped their “fixing agendas” sat down and let others alone?

Isn’t the Course pointing out to us to drop ALL grievances? Why? Isn’t a grievance either against another or myself a guilt ridden trip, a misguided attempt to fix myself or others? Why can’t you be different????

Why do I need to be different?

Aren’t all the above questions another attempt to fix……something?

It’s been a week or so after I asked that last question. Befuddled I continued to ponder.

Not needing to fix anything is completely bogus, after all there is so much craziness something definitely needs to be done. But what?????

The issue is I’ve been confusing levels. The human level and the spiritual. A while back I pointed out problems cannot be fixed on the same level in which they were created—Dr. Hawkins or Dr. Einstein or maybe another luminary probably every spiritual master that has ever lived pointed this out but like first graders that scratch there heads and return to their playtime unaffected not even understanding the solution to their playtime quarrels was offered to them.

After all the Sermon on the mount is still deemed to impractical to actually take seriously and yet in it we will find All the answers to every issue we have on the human level.

This morning I read these words by Joel Goldsmith in his book Consciousness Unfolding:

“Never forget this: The world, as a human world, is not the real world. There is nothing that we should or can do about the human situation. It is all a question of unfoldment. There must be a transcendental working out of all errors. To do that, we turn to God and realize the presence of God in operation at all times and in all places. We are to lift thought up out of its material sense and bring to light a spiritual awakening. The metaphysician does not remove a growth or an obstruction; but through spiritual realization, some great spiritual activity is set up in consciousness, and it dissolves this seeming error.

This same principle should be applied to world conditions and world affairs. Errors are real only to the mortal sense of reality. They are not real in the spiritual realm, and they are not real to the student of spiritual reality. There is no solution to them, except as someone, somewhere, touches the divine Consciousness and brings truth to light. If you and I can touch infinity every day of the week, and if, when confronted by these world problems, we can realize: “Father, there is a divine plan, but it does not lie in the realm of my human thinking, or in the realm of any human thinking. There is a spiritual universe, just as there is a spiritual body, which I bring forth through spiritual enlightenment; and, therefore, there is a spiritual solution to every problem on earth.”

God is Spirit, and the world of God’s creation is spiritual.

All these so-called problems in the world can and must be solved by bringing to light the reality of spiritual jurisdiction over the universe of God’s creation. This we must each do for our individual selves. We must go into meditation. We must stay in meditation until we feel a response which says, “I am here. The presence of God is here, ‘Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.“

“Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” John 18.36

In times like these there are those who call for a break from the fighting to lay down the weapons if only for a while as good as that sounds as a place to start but the reason cease fires are always temporary is there is no change of heart and without that ceasefires are always broken.

A change of heart requires going to another level a realization that killing others is pointless and never accomplishes it’s purpose—unless your only purpose is killing.
