Sickness

The inevitable outcome of believing that one is other than THE SUPREME or that anything could be other than THE SUPREME.
Sickness is healed at the root by the acceptance that YOU are THE SUPREME and that there is only THE SUPREME.
Since the individual and collective are one, with no dividing line between them, an apparently individual manifestation of sickness cannot be tightly attributed to that apparent individual. The belief in separation or otherness has to be resolved in the collective for all individuals to be free of afflictions.
Strictly speaking, there is no individual healing. All healing is universal.
Ultimately there is no healing because separation does not happen and the manifestations of the belief in separation are unreal.
The inevitable outcome of believing in separation.
The inevitable outcome of believing in separation from Divinity/God/Source.
The inevitable outcome of believing in separation from THE SUPREME.
A sign of believing in separation.

A sign of rejecting Divinity/God/Source.
A sign of rejecting reality.
A sign of rejecting truth.
