Got Pain? Not Everyone Wants Relief...

So, this month found me in the presence of someone who'd completely torn the ligament of her middle finger on the hand she uses most, her right hand. 

This finger was deformed and swollen, sticking straight up.  This 50 something year old lady loves to bake, make blankets, hold her grandchildren...do things with her hands.  She suffers from three generations of crippling arthritis & severe bone degeneration.

So, upon seeing her condition, hearing her story, listening to her family history...I said, "Let's get you on the machine, we can fix that in a few weeks!"  (Meaning the Wellness Pro 2010 of course!)  The response I got was fascinating.  

Known, proven technology to promote re-growth of ligaments, tissue matter, bones and eliminate pain in the meanwhile was offered to her, free of charge.  She was offered it all.  Complete freedom to not follow in her Mother or Grandmother's footsteps...to be able to use her hands, pain free...for free.

SHE REFUSED.  She turned me down!  

She was proud to have the same condition her lineage bestowed upon her.  She told me there was no way anyone was going to do anything to change her condition.  That it would do what it was going to do, regardless of any treatment.  

She chose to keep her crippling, degenerative condition along with all the pain and I was forced to let her.

This baffled me!  Why wouldn't someone want pain relief?  Who wouldn't want to be treated for free?  What did this person have to loose?  It was a real stunner.

I remembered a scripture whereby the Disciples were walking along and found a man who was crippled.  They asked him what he wanted.  He responded that he wanted to be healed.  

I'd never really understood why they asked him what he wanted.  I thought it was obvious, until I met this lady.  Then it dawned on me that not everyone wants to be healed.  Not everyone wants freedom from their diseases or pain.  

Some people just want to talk about their pain & have people feel sorry for them.  Don' t be one of them.  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.  Don't continue in ignorance.  Ignorance & Insanity are great friends, they run in the same gang.

I came away from this encounter with a deeper understanding of the human condition which seems to boarder or hover on insanity.  

Which side are you on?  

Are you open to the gifts that come to you?  Or do you just refer to your own limited knowledge and understanding?  We all bring different skills to the table.  

It's like offering your child it's first bite of chocolate cake & the child says, "NO, I HATE CHOCOLATE CAKE!" ...but it's never even tasted chocolate cake before, so how does it know if it's good or not?

As humans, we all have different knowledge, skills, education...we need to blend them instead of separating them.  Lemons make a better drink with sugar, water & ice for example.

My message to you today is this: Free Your Mind & Stop the Insanity.
