I rec’d a letter from someone today that we should pray away swine flu. Here is my response.
Dear ________________,
Rather than pray away swine flu, it is better to look directly at your fear. Why would you be afraid of swine flu? Why be afraid of dying? To get rid of swine flu is not to look at the causes of fear, which is a tremendous gift and opportunity.
I love Carlos Castaneda’s description that Death is standing directly behind you at all times, to your left within arm’s reach, behind you – ready to tap you on the shoulder and take you at any time. Today could be your very last day! A warrior becomes best friends with his own death and then he’s not afraid anymore.
Most people have zero idea why they want to live till 65, 80 or 100, and yet they keep protecting their body to live a long healthy life. What for? What is it that is so important that you must be here in the world? This is a good question to ask. You have a purpose, but you don’t need to protect yourself. Find out what you want to accomplish in this world. And then follow in that direction. Stop waiting for your life to begin. It could end any moment. Why are you here? Is there something you are meant to do … that you have not been doing? Have you been waiting for your life to begin? If you were infected with swine flu, what regrets would you have? What things do you wish you had accomplished in life that you never did? Are there things left unsaid? Apologies that need to be made?
Then begin it today. Set out to do all you want to do, and be gloriously alive!
I have died almost twice in my life. Death tapped me right on the shoulder and scared the LIFE into me!! One time what felt like a brain tumor which lasted for a week, another time a heart attack. With the brain tumor, it made me look at what I wanted to do that I had been waiting for. What would I regret if I died? Back then, I wanted to write and publish a book and also I was waiting for my relationships to improve. If I died, I would die with great regret that I never published a book and that I never told several people that i was sorry for things I did, and that I loved them.
So with death staring me straight in the face, I got busy!! There was a mess to clean up and work to be done!
I wrote and published a book. I called all my family and friends. Wrote letters and apologized and said I loved you.
And the amazing thing? I didn’t die.
But I am no longer afraid of death. Now, I am terrifically gratefully alive!
it’s almost like swine flu HAD to happen, because no one is paying attention to all the other atrocities of this world. People read that there is a brutal war or children starving and they say “oh, that’s horrible!” and two seconds later they are talking about their favorite television show and asking “What’s for dinner?” and then wondering who is going to win Dancing with the Stars.
Swine flu hits home. It’s not out there anymore. You can’t push fear under the carpet anymore. This might affect you and your family. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. It doesn’t matter where you live. This has the potential to affect everyone, which makes it a great terrific gift!!! Now you can look directly at your fear and remember the truth.
Getting to purpose and letting the Holy Spirit have all of you will keep you perfectly protected. Nothing can happen to you when you let go of all your goals, and let yourself be a perfect channel of communication for the light and love of Heaven. If there is work to do, and you are doing it, nothing can touch you.
And when the work is finished, you’ll go home. End of story. It could be today. It could be 100 years from now.
Your body is a means of communication for the light and you don’t have to protect yourself. You will do the work God has sent you here to do, as you have so beautifully been doing. Your life is a perfect demonstration of the Love of God. Don’t worry about anything. Just keep extending your light and love as I have always known you to do.
Thank you for writing. There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to heal. You’re whole and perfect as God created you.
I love you.

the human tries to protect the one thing that can’t be protected .
the human body. live to 100 ! so what . are you happy ? are you in full gratitude for the day ? have you started today with a clean slate ? that’s all that matters . there is no world . there never will be so i have stopped trying to make one / kick back and enjoy the love of god.
max
Yes! Kick back and enjoy the love of God. That simplifies it.
nice lisa. as gerry lopez said just before he caught his first 60 foot wave (yes 60 ft) he was terrified yet he knew what he had to do ,
“i guess this is a good day to die”
