The essence of spiritual teaching is as follows. All creation is inherently, spiritually perfect.
"God saw that it was good."
However, we experience creation through our own thinking, and that can often be flawed. Through errors in our thinking, through worry, doubt, greed, (all forms of fear), we end up distorting the perfect operation of the world and producing wars, dis-eases, and stresses of all kinds.
As we iron out the wrinkles of our thinking, and release anxiety and fear, we become healthier, we attract more abundance, and we experience less and less strife. The kingdom of Heaven, as Jesus taught, lies within us, and it is at hand, right here, right now, once we can access it.
Sometimes this happens individually, and sometimes it happens collectively, even on a world scale. There are layers of consciousness, or Mind, within the person, the family, the community, or the nation. All could use some healing.
I have made it my business to teach this stuff.
After a career of 36 years in Engineering, I am acutely aware that I am trained to be a problem-spotter and a problem-fixer. Quite apart from the natural male social conditioning to 'fix' things, Ifind the urge hard to suppress at times. This gets in the way of seeing the inner perfection of the situation, which is what I am supposed to do as a Practitioner of the Science of Mind®.
My compromise has become this - so far:
People are perfect but don't know it.
They have their own answers but aren't acknowledging them
It must be my job to remind them.
If they refuse to acknowledge, at least I did my best.
How dare they ignore my obvious wisdom! :-))
Not quite a perfect approach - is it? Oh well, I'm still working on it.
The point is that even the teachers are working at ironing out their own wrinkles.
Einstein said that no problem can be solved at the same level of consciousness at which it was created. When we are living in our doubt, or our fear, or our pain, we are living right at the level of the problem - at the same level of belief that created it.
If we are not able to raise our awareness up (to lift up our eyes to the hills) then the only answer is to turn the matter over to someone who is not bound up in the problem. They can make the arguments for healing, and start the wheels of higher belief in motion.
