When Things Are Falling Apart

Not Actual Home

Our home is falling apart and it's time to fix it.  The timing couldn't be much worse, with all of my medical expenses dragging down my partner and I's disposable income.

He is no plumber; he blew out a pipe by plunging it.  The whole pipe just exploded.  Then he tried to fix it himself.  And, it's no simple pipe: it leads from the kitchen sink, down to the basement and all the way up through the roof. 

The windows are also nearly falling out of the walls, the roof is who knows how old and the gutters are shot.

Things are falling apart.  How do we find a spiritual solution for this?

"'Erase all desire and you will attain bliss.' This philosophy, advocated by some teachers of the spiritual path, sounds simple and straightforward, even though not easily attainable.  However, we might wonder if it is really desire that stands in our way.  Our human experience suggests that nothing great is accomplished without a strong desire to see it done, so why should this not pertain as well to the spiritual path?"

"In fact it is quite likely that desire, properly directed. is one of the necessary ingredients for us to fulfill our spiritual purpose in earth."

"God cannot save man that would not be saved!"

"The positions in which we find ourselves are drawn to us through our desires.  Whatever we are physically,  mentally  or spiritually has been built through desire..."

-- "Experiments in Practical Spirituality"

I think we have found ourselves in the situation we are in with our home by neglecting to even think about fixing it up.  In turn, the neglect has taken its toll on the physical well-being of our home.  Now we must focus on the 'desire' to feel safe and secure in our home by not pretending it just isn't there and waiting for something catastrophic to happen.  I think then by using spiritual force, the physical will take care of itself.

"Desire is so potent a force in shaping our live that the parameters and dimensions which are defined by our desires become a type of personal law which our soul will experience."

The Healing and Edgar Cayce Formula

My Ulcerative Colitis has improved significantly over the last few days.  I researched the readings of Edgar Cayce to see what he had to day about Ulcerative Colitis.  In the several readings I could find, he always mentions ginger and ginseng.  I went to my local health food store, bought ginger tea, fennel tea and ginseng extract.  Each day I have made a very strong mixture of the tea and diluted it with ice to drink at work.  My bleeding has all but stopped though I still have urgency.

I have also started using something in that same time frame called "Pearls" which is a probiotic.  I feel as if I am on the way to being healed with prayer, and natural remedies although I am still taking my prescription drugs minus the hideous Prednisone.
