I think I understand a little bit better. I've sat and given time to how things feel, try to become one with it but not sure I always do. But things will change and feel better for a while by doing that. I ask myself why did I create that, but don't always know many times.

By not fixing, I'm assuming you mean don't try to fix it the world's way, but when I crushed my thumb it was bleeding so badly it needed/got several types of stitches to hold it all together. I think I could have bled to death if I hadn't got the stitches. So I got it stitched, but that hospital botches most everyone's stitches and has for years but was the closest place, the other hospitals were in other towns, it was a holiday weekend July 3rd. I didn't want to risk driving while trying not to black out on the road so I took the back streets, running the stop signs carefully. So I attracted the injury, then went to the place that can't stitch worth a hoot. Hence injury on top of injury, so longer healing time, but I've had 4 months time to deal with it, think and feel it and accept it. Is accepting the same as being one with it? It still pains me but I'm ok with it now.

So if we work into these things and become one, do they heal on their own? A friend had end-stage cancer and was about to die. She meditated and accepted her death and said whatever it is, she would accept. She had a "spontaneous healing" and I've heard that term many times. Miracles some people call them. She's been free of the cancer for several years.

So I'm still working to understand the transcendence. So am I not to focus on healing of any kind with injuries and just work to transcend and let them be whatever they'll be? I think I can do that. I read your article today about transcendence. And your description of your knee issues. What a lot to process!

So I think I manifested the thumb injury because I was so worn out from moving that mulch to where I now live, took a break and didn't notice where I had my thumb, my friend didn't look before slamming the truck tailgate shut. Well it sure slowed me down but not totally, I kept doing things with one hand. So next question might follow that, why am I so stubborn about accepting defeat? Some may be past karma or whatever but I think I'm beginning to see what some of the questions might be that help me realise the WHY. Once I know why then I gain self realisation? Yes, that does take time to ponder and feel into those questions.

Thank you Open
