The Healthy Cell knows to give. The Sick Cell hold energy in to itself alone.
Yesterday in Malibu, I saw a booth set up to protest President Obama and his Health Care Reform plan. There was a large photo of our president and drawn on his face was a Hitler mustache. Two men stood by the booth spending time their time and money running it.
American citizens have given trillions of dollars since September 11th for war and bailouts, but money for sick Americans? — Now that’s a problem for many tax payers. We will give money for war because it’s for our own safety and protection supposedly. We will give money for bailouts because it’s to protect our major corporations and our economy. But money for sick people? Many say no. After all, what does that give to me? What is in it for me to help the sick?
Health Care Reform is a spiritual action and it requires the heart. And this is exactly what President Obama asked Congress to remember during their deliberations. Health Care Reform is asking us to share and help the poor and sick. It’s that simple. It is not attractive! Sharing is not fun! That’s why it’s hard to do! It’s far easier to be an animal that only thinks of itself! Health Care Reform is an extension of the work of Jesus, but many Christians have a problem with it. Jesus healed the sick and poor and spent time with those people. On the five sensory level Health Care Reform is money spent for no reason. Why does a middle or upper class American want to pay for a sick person with no insurance? Why can’t they pay for themselves? How does that affect me or benefit me to help? There is no apparent benefit for this contribution like there is for a bailout or war. On a spiritual level, Health Care Reform is a national action of lovingkindness and the benefits are for our soul. Every cell in the human body works for the benefit of the whole body and not for its individual self. The human cells don’t think for themselves. Did you know that the brain can feel all the pain of anywhere in the whole body but it cannot feel its own pain? Operate on a human brain and there is no need for novocaine. When we think of others, our problems don’t exist. As soon as a cell thinks of itself it becomes cancerous. Health Care Reform is a step to remove cancer from our own bodies, from the United States and from the world.
We need to look and see closely at what people protest so hard about. When a snake bites it does so because it’s afraid. Be like a lion. Be not afraid to love and share. Use the heart and feel the pain of others and the need of others. As Karen Berg from the Kabbalah Center says, “Only when an Israeli mother feels the pain of an Arab child and an Arab mother feels the pain of an Israeli child will there be peace on Earth.”
