A Lesson on Prevention.

 

A Thought Adjuster Speaks - Lesson # 88
October 30, 2004.

Let this lesson begin with a few old but wise sayings, ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ A similar one is, ‘A stitch in time saves nine.’ These sayings are worth remembering when embarking on a new project or doing something different to the ordinary, everyday things. Prevention has at its base also caution, as sometimes the most carefully laid plans can go awry, because unforeseen accidents can and will at times happen. Prevention can become a habit of safety first; that one is so trained as to examine the possibilities of hidden pitfalls. Take something as simple as sewing a garment, this is not so simple if the proper precautions have not been taken with the cutting of the fabric. Here, definitely, you need to think before you start cutting into the fabric to bring the desired garment into manifestation.

So you can see, that even the simplest things need to be thought out, for even when going on a long trip, you make sure that your vehicle of transportation is in good order, so you will not get stranded somewhere. These also take the necessary planning and precaution to prevent anything that would spoil the trip. So it is with your health, which is usually taken for granted until something happens, and you find yourself not as healthy as you thought you were. Let’s talk about working on this sort of prevention so you become more mindful about your future health and start living more mindfully. In preventing problems in the future, it is very important to always ‘listen to your body,’ so you do not overeat. Your system is very delicate, and ought to be treated with respect for the delicate instrument that it is, so proper nutrition is a must.

Another way to prevent problems ‘down the line’ is to monitor your emotions and learn to keep those in check. The manner in which you think, be it positive or negative, also influences future health as every thought, ever thought, settles in the tissues, and your indulging in negative thinking will give blockages down the line, as do negative emotions. All these create the blockages, which sooner or later manifest as pain or maladies. There exists a fine line between being healthy and being unhealthy. There is a way to prevent all this, and you know by now that I am ‘singing’ My favorite tune of self-discipline, which is very much helped by self-denial, especially when one desires to imbibe of some substance which is not altogether healthy, and is insidious in its attraction, because of an enslaving habit lurking around the corner.

Self-denial can at first be the narrow road to self-discipline, and yet this needs to be recognized if one is to walk the road to self-mastery, which is your ultimate destination on the way to perfection. Any weakness you have, or suspect you may have, you can bring to Me in the Stillness of your heart. There are so many ways in which I can render assistance. Nothing is too small or too large for Me. All you need to do is ask. All these exercises of coming into the Stillness of your heart are designed to bring you closer to Me, so together we can build on your spiritual counterpart for the next stage of your existence. Make friends with Me, and in time I will become your Beloved on Whom you can depend for advice and guidance. Believe Me, you will prevent many pitfalls, whilst I get a chance to lead you on a path through life during which you will learn the most. This is the true prevention; living with Me.
