Anticipate health

Have you noticed recent headlines concerning swine flu? They certainly are lessons on the importance of avoiding self-fulfilling prophecies.

Article headlines these days take as a given that swine flu will cause widespread illness this winter. “Experts” aren’t sure how many people will be hit, but the mental picture they paint is not pleasant no matter how you look at it from their point of view.

These types of alarms are calls for conscientious metaphysicians everywhere to defend the population from unnecessary suffering.

Swine flu pandemic should not be a foregone conclusion. It is not imperative. It is spiritually stoppable and preventable. It doesn’t need to happen.

But we cannot sit on our mental laurels and be passive observers. The fear and worry circulating in public thought about the flu needs to be neutralized and replaced with calm and a secure understanding of God’s omnipresent care and protection.

God’s infinite love is a most powerful influence on the health and well being of mankind. This love is always active on everyone’s behalf, shielding from harm, protecting from contagion, and providing spiritual immunity to material infection. As children of God, we do not live in a chaotic universe of mindless unmerciful forces. We live in a universe of divine Love, where an all intelligent Mind guides and governs the well being of all creatures.

The current growing fear in public thought can be counteracted with an even stronger sense of God’s omnipresent Love that protects one and all from any type of pandemic. An understanding of spiritual truth is the most powerful vaccination against contagion on earth. And it is here to bless one and all.

In preparing for the winter season a few months away, I’ve decided to anticipate health, peace, safety, protection, calm, and well being. I'm striving to abide in a consciousness of spiritual love that knows no fear and is not exposed to any harmful influences.

There is no fear in Love, God, because in Love, there is nothing to fear, not even swine flu.

I’m looking forward to a winter of peace, health and harmony. What are you expecting?
