7/2/05: Dealing with problems

When problems arise in our lives, we tend to expend all our time and energy focusing on them. We bemoan, worry, complain, contrive and struggle to get rid of them. It’s no wonder problems have so much control over our lives.

Anything we focus on tends to increase. Anything we fight tends to get stronger.

Instead, hold every problem up to the light of Truth and you will find the problem loses its power over you. You may even find it vanishing on its own.

You cannot get rid of a problem by fighting it on its level. In other words, a state of consciousness created the problem, it is unlikely the same state of consciousness can eradicate the problem.

See beyond the problem, see beyond the state of consciousness that created it and rise above it.

Only there will the true resolution appear.
