At some level, every illness is a fear of the next step. This fear can hold us back from all of life or in some specific part of our life.
Our fear, which comes from lost bonding, sadness, misunderstanding, illusion and unwillingness, can be resolved by simply taking the next step. The next step is always a positive progression in life toward a better, freer place.
Willingness moves us forward in such a way that fear is healed. Even when we feel we are not willing, we can at least be willing to be willing, and this is all that is needed for our higher mind to help us take the next step and heal our illness.
Willingness puts us into the flow once again and helps to restore bonding. Every true step forward is a true step in intimacy and success. Willingness opens us and generates inspiration and answers. It shows us the way through illness for healing.
If we are willing to learn the lessons, heal ourselves and resolve our conflicts, then the next stage in our life can unfold for us. The size of the illness determines how big the step forward is. For a catastrophic illness, we must be willing to be reborn into a newer and happier chapter in our life.
