People frequently have a false sense of what is happening and why it is happening. Some people think that they are the victims of “bad luck” or an “abusive relationship”. They live on the verge of despair, not quite sure in what to believe.
What they do not realize is that Divine Love enables a path for change, provided that the individual is willing to allow the change. We pointed out in Resolve Problems, that we must be willing to submit our will to the Creator.
When an observable change does not occur following a Petition, we might falsely assume that the Creator wants us to continue to suffer and “be stuck” with whatever is manifesting in our lives. That is not the case, provided that we sincerely believe in the Creator and ask for His help.
There is another mechanism that plays a large role in our wellness and explains the occasional lack of completion to a Petition. It is our subconscious mind.
The subconscious records our behavior like a tape recorder. It then influences us to continue the same behavior as we continue through life. Moreover, the subconscious is not easily changed; it resists change. And it does this very strongly.
If we are not meeting our own expectations for a change in our life, we should address the subconscious directly with a Divine Love Petition. We simply need to acknowledge that the physical condition continues because the subconscious is holding onto the condition.
We can ask the Creator to clear our subconscious of any energy that is contrary to the Creator’s Will. We should expect to experience immediate cessation of an unwanted thought, emotion, or physical pain. The key is to sit quietly for about five minutes without letting your mind wander while the Petition acts completely upon you. If you are distracted, or interrupted, Divine Love may stop entering your body.
Illness comes from energy acting on the human body. We are composed of a soul, mind and body that should work as an integrated unit. When it does not, we manifest disease because we are no longer in balance as a human being.
When we use a Petition to restore health, the Petition is generally granted and part or all of the condition is resolved. If the condition is caused by our own thoughts, then we must recognize that our subconscious may continue to resist change. We suggest you repeat your Petition several times a day.
If after the third day there is no change, then we accept that the lack of change is the Creator’s Will. Thus, we are always exactly where the Creator wants us to operate at a point in time. This does not mean that you should lose hope. Simply wait a few days and try again.
