The house of health

Every man can move into a healthy body, a good feeling, a peaceful mind and a pleasant activity as he would move into a beautiful new home. But the spiritual home demands a different way of purchasing because it cannot be mortgaged. The spiritual home has to be paid in cash before hand. But how is this money acquired? Isn't it by giving up the old method of saying ``I already know what's good for me and I only have to do something to get it!'' It has never worked. All this has to be replaced with a daily practice of: ``I do not know what is good for me, therefore I will do nothing. I will suffer the full pain of my inner condition until it is lifted y a higher source!''

Man has to die so that he may live.

You do not exist and that's why not doing anything for yourself can restore health on all levels of existence, whether it is on the physical, emotional or mental level.
To do nothing leads back to a state that does not exist on those levels. It is the home of the soul from where all subsequent levels receive their rules. ``You believe that you exist and to confirm it to yourself, you start with all of your doing.''

Health is a ``do it yourself'' affair, but in a special way. All falsehoods are taken away and all riches are added by ``Self-Observation'' combined with ``Doing Nothing.'' The Bible makes the same request when it states in Matthew 17:21 ``but this kind does not go out except through prayer nad fasting.'' It does not say that man may fall asleep. The special way consists of: ``be nothing, think nothing, feel nothing and do nothing.'' Only by his own effort to stick with that can he be helped and it is exactly this effort which he shuns. Do nothing and wait! This is all the knowledge a man needs. Only that will make the new house appear.
