Right!
Another angle to it is that The Cure could lie on another level/plane
altogether.
1 St. Paul had a thorn in his flesh that stayed till the end. The
fact that I can accept the Parkinsons, with everything that it throws at me,
but STILL accept that God is always there for me, and that His Grace is
sufficient for me, with all that that entails, means to me that I already
have been cured.
Obviously not physically, but in the Hereafter I will be perfect. There I
will be able to discuss all my trials with the Helen Kellers, Joni
Earicksons etc., and how small my burden will seem then.
2 Furthermore is there the enrichment that I have received from
becoming involved with the Parkinson-fraternity. Would I have been the same
person that I am now, and should I not thank my Creator for this
opportunity?

Subject: THE CURE
I must say I agree with you to a large extent. If ya think about it
too, strictly focusing on The Cure exclusively, as the single end
goal,
is not the way to go. Not only does the Bible hint to that (Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be given unto
you ),
Deepak Chopra and other new agers also talk about how you need to
put
your intention our there for the universe to handle, fully expecting
it
to come to pass, but don't get attached to the expected out come.
We
all need to learn to have absolute faith, while at the same time,
let go
and let God, so to speak.
In other words, if you are seeking your bliss, living your purpose,
doing the will of God, etc., the way will open for you and/or you
will
be given all that you need to accomplish it, and then some most
likely.
For Christians, they might depend on the scriptures that say that
Jesus
came to give life and give it more abundantly. Or perhaps another
says
something to the effect "I would have it above all that you would
prosper and be in health" (something like that).
I still believe I will be cured, but not necessarily if I solely
focus
on my cure in and of itself. I know that if I follow PD wherever it
takes me and learn all that it has to teach me, it will simply go
away
of its own accord once its purpose is served. I must first focus
tho'
on pursuing my own life's purpose, meanwhile fully expecting it to
happen, but not worrying about whether it ultimately does or not.
Take care.
