Resist the compulsion to do something about it
"I've got to do something about this!" shrieks the ego. I MUST FIX IT!!!
Arghhh!!
Ok. Stop.
1) We believe something has gone wrong and think it's real.
2) Believing it is broken, we MUST believe that a remedy is needed.
3) We now try to figure out what went wrong and what we need to do to remedy or fix it.
This turns us into a FIXER.
And it is a total trick.
Because the truth is, NOTHING HAS EVER REALLY GONE WRONG.
The idea of something going wrong is ALWAYS an illusion! A deception. A mis-perception. An ego attack thought.
"My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability", means, that you are still invulnerable, but the ego is attempting to make you believe otherwise.
Don't listen to it.
Do not listen to the "something has gone wrong", which leads to the "I must fix it".
STOP IT!
STOP IT!
STOOOOP IIIIIIT!
Now, reverse the thought. Has something really gone wrong? NO!
Nothing has gone wrong. Nothing has happened. Atonement.
"Let me recognize all my problems are resolved" - ACIM - they are fixed already because the problem is an ILLUSION!
So if nothing has really happened, you do not need to FIX, you do not need to CHANGE, you do not need to SAVE, you do not need to be a HERO, you do not need to DO ANYTHING.
The solution is never to REACT to the idea that something needs to be solved. The solution is to realize that the impression of something being 'wrong' is ITSELF FALSE.
Nothing is wrong. There's nothing to do. Nothing needs fixing. Nothing is broken. You don't need to do anything, or go anywhere, or fix anyone. Surrender that.
Just be.
