I would like to take you beyond the limits of your traditional considerations and experiences. This new way of life starts with two questions that are very simple. The first question is; Do I want this to be true: “Every event that will befall me is absolutely the best possible situation that could occur.” Meditate before deciding this so that you can consider it with an uncluttered mind and answer it truthfully. The second question is the more difficult part, it is to honestly answer this question: Will I give that a chance to be true?

Imagine- using meditation- that God has appeared before you this instant and said: “I promise you that all that you experience from this moment forward will be of the greatest benefit to you and will bring you the utmost good fortune, ” Suppose God went on to tell you, “Even though what happens may appear at times unfortunate or even painful, in the end your life will be wonderfully blessed and largely rewarded by whatever may happen to you. Take a minute and meditate. How would you feel about that wonderful news? Happy? Perhaps you may even be filled with joy.

Would it not be the best news that you could ever hear? Would it not cause you to heave a deep sigh of relief and feel as if a weight had been lifted from your mind? Wouldn’t you then respond to the next thing that happened-even if it was hurtful or took something from you or appeared wrong or even unlucky- look at it as though it was going to be wonderfully beneficial for you, the best possible thing that could have occurred? If you have not enthusiastically answered yes, set free your mind, meditate on it. Perhaps you have mistook what I have explained to you.

I am not talking to you about the phrase we hear so often, “try to make the best of things,” which basically means” The situation or occurrence really is wrong and horribly unlucky, but do what is necessary to salvage some good out of it.” Nor do I mean that within even the worst event possible, there can be found a little bit of good. I am not thinking in terms of such restricted ideas. I am talking in unrestricted terms, where every situation that befalls you is completely the best event that could occur-that there is no other event fathomable that could reward you to any greater degree.

So, again, as you meditate ask yourself wouldn’t that be the best bit of news you could be given? If you are open to giving this new notion a chance and actually believe that everything that happens to you will happen for a reason. When thinking about anything, to get a great deal of release just clear your mind and meditate about all the good that is to come. Meditation can be a much better alternative than medicine and you might just be real astounded at how much better you will start feeling after practicing it for awhile.
