– How can we strengthen our trust in spirit, in healing, and in the possibility that things can be different?
“What you are really asking, in other words, is this question: How can it be that I am worthy of love? How can it be that I am okay, when I am used to hearing otherwise? This is what lies deep beneath the lack of trust in healing, in spirit, or in the possibility of change. It’s this question: How can it be that I am okay despite everything? Could it be that everyone who told me I am not okay was wrong? Could it be that they are all mistaken?
“It doesn’t matter if ‘everyone’ refers to one person or a hundred people – the question remains the same: How can it be? Is it possible that they are all wrong?
“We do not know how to answer this question. We cannot see a reality where those people were right. That possibility simply does not exist within our field of vision. We cannot see ‘no’. We cannot see darkness. It is not because it doesn’t exist, but because it doesn’t exist.
“It exists within the human experience. In the absence of light, there is darkness; in the absence of love, there is pain. When humans act out of pain, they hurt one another and break each other’s hearts. This creates profound suffering, which is very real.
“However, when you speak with us and ask us, we want to tell you that we do not see it. Not because we fail to recognize its presence in human consciousness, but because it has no existence beyond human consciousness.
“Pain has no independent reality. Fear has no independent reality. Humans often say, ‘It’s all in your head’. We agree with this expression, although ‘head’ is not the word we would use. We would say, ‘It’s all in your consciousness’.
“It is difficult to grasp what we are saying – very difficult. It is even challenging to explain this in words, to convey our perspective in human language. That is why we repeat and emphasize that we do not see it, that you are not unworthy of love. We cannot see a scenario where those who told you that you are not okay were right. But we do see that it was said, we see its impact, and we know that this pain is worth healing.
“We want to remind you that just as humans can hurt one another, humans can also heal one another.
“You do not doubt your ability to harm, destroy, or cause pain. You doubt your ability to heal. You are so accustomed to destruction that healing seems like science fiction. But it is the same thing in many ways. If you can destroy, you can also heal. It’s a different act, a different intention, certainly, but just as you know how to destroy, you also know how to heal.
“Many people have told you, and all of you, that you are not okay. Simply put, in linear human language, you need to hear, repeatedly, that you are okay, that everything is okay. Again and again, you need to hear this – from yourself, from each other, and sometimes from us – that you are okay, that there was never truly a problem, even if there is much for you to learn.
“To believe that you can heal, remember that you believe you can destroy. If one is possible, so is the other.
“If you know how to build towers with Lego blocks, you can heal broken hearts. Not because it’s equally easy, but because you are familiar with your ability to build with Lego. Yet, when it comes to a broken heart, you cannot see how it is possible.
“Imagine that healing a broken heart is like sitting in front of the most complex puzzle in the world. Many times, you won’t understand how the pieces fit together, but if you persist, you will gradually begin to see a picture you never imagined”.
