2. QUOTE FOR HEALING: THOUGHT AND ACTION
“To be well it is not enough that a person should merely
think in a Certain Way. He must apply his thought to
himself, and he must express and externalize it in his
outward life by acting in the same way that he thinks.”
— Wallace D. Wattles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. FEATURE ARTICLE: WHO — OR WHAT– DOES THE HEALING?
Last week I sent you a link to a very inspiring and very
well-made film, The Living Matrix, about how miracle healings
happen.
-> http://www.scienceofbeingwell.net/livingmatrix
One of the responses I received was this:
CONSIDERING MY GIRLFRIEND HAS JUST FOUND OUT HER
BROTHER HAS TERMINAL CANCER (5 TUMOURS IN HIS
BRAIN ALONE!) I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE
ACTUALLY EXPECTING ANYBODY TO BELIEVE THIS PACK
OF LIES!!!
CURE FOR CANCER? THE MAN HAS BARELY WEEKS TO
LIVE – CAN YOU CURE THAT?
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY!!!
YES! I AM FLAMING ANGRY!!!
The writer raises several critical questions about how healing
works, including these:
Who – or what – does the healing, when we get well?
Is there a point at which illness or injury has
progressed too far for a cure to happen?
What can a person do to cause a cure to happen in him or
herself, or in another person?
These are big questions. Why it’s useful to have your own answers
is that those answers guide your behavior, and give you a feeling
of confidence and security. Without answers, there’s a good
chance you’d feel stressed because of all the conflicting advice
about health.
Given that stress is the number one thing that interferes with
vibrant health, let’s see if sorting through some answers would
help!
1. Who – or what – does the healing, when we get well?
Mr. Wattles teaches that the power that heals is within us all:
A human being … has within him a Principle
of Health. (The word Principle is used as
meaning source.) The Principle of Health in
a person, when in full constructive activity,
causes all the voluntary functions of his
life to be perfectly performed. It is the
Principle of Health in a person which really
works all healing, no matter what system of
remedy is employed…
And he teaches that this Principle of Health comes from the
Principle of Life in the universe, which is synonymous with God,
also named by Wattles as the Supreme Mind, the Original
Substance, the One Substance, the Intelligent Substance.
So, God is the healer. God supplies the source of health to all
people.
By that explanation, “I” cannot cure anything. I am not the
healer, nor is any doctor or practitioner, no matter what result
may occur when such a person is present with one who is ill or
injured.
All I or any person can do, and all any medicine can do, is to
activate, allow, or join with that invisible and immeasurable
force in the person that causes the healing to occur.
2. Is there a point at which illness or injury has progressed too
far for a cure to happen?
Wattles says, “If the tissues of your body have not been so
destroyed that continued life is impossible, you can get well…”
But, how do you know if the tissues of your body, or anyone
else’s body, have been so destroyed that continued life is
impossible?
Certainly we have statistics, experience with the workings of
other people’s bodies that have been in similar conditions. So,
based on this, we predict. But no one can KNOW the future, right?
That means, no one can know when any particular person is going
to go over the edge of no return.
After all, we’ve all heard of people who had “near death
experiences,” in which, by all external measures, they were
“dead,” but then revived. And we’ve heard of people who had
“fatal” conditions, but miraculously healed.
In other words, NONE OF US can really know if someone has
progressed too far for a cure to happen, until after there is no
longer life in the body.
3. What can a person do to cause a cure to happen in him or
herself, or in another person?
Mr. Wattles tells us that “if you will think and act in a certain
way, you will get well.”
Further, a doctor or healer can give medicine, food, prayer,
manipulation, a plan of living, etc. that can cure a person by
bringing into creative activity the person’s Principle of Health.
The key is that the person to be healed must have faith in the
method, and this faith is what activates the Principle of Health.
Doubt, the opposite of faith, is therefore the most destructive
attitude a person can have.
Given how much we tend to be influenced by the beliefs and
attitudes of those around us, the most useful and valuable thing
we can offer those in our lives who want to be well is our own
true faith–not just empty words–in that which heals, and in the
true connection of that which heals to the people dear to us.
Whatever your name for the Ultimate Beingness, Ultimate
Substance, Ultimate Power in the universe, if you want to be
well, you must feel your connection with this Being/Power.
If you want to help others be well, you must have faith in THEIR
connection with this Being/Power as well as your own.
That said, I would suggest to the dear writer of the angry note
that because he cannot know what is in store for his girlfriend’s
brother, what to do is apply all faith to whatever the brother
believes can activate the Principle of Healing that is within the
brother.
For example, if the brother believes chemotherapy and radiation
can cure him, then the writer should pour his faith into these
being the means through which that activation can occur.
When you consider these question in terms of your own body, what
do YOU believe can activate the power of healing within you?
Your job, then, is to do what you believe will cause that power
to be active. Could it be, to think and act in a certain way?

LISTEN UP!
If getting well this year is on your list, start with The Science
of Being Well Audiobook!
“You have an incredible voice. It’s so clear
and soothing and nurturing. For me it’s so much
easier to listen than to read. I get it better
by hearing than if I read it. Thank you!”
–Louise Booth, RN
Seattle, Washington, USA
Thanks, Louise! I too get more out of listening than just
reading. It brings things to life in ways I wouldn’t get from
just the words.

The answer to last month’s question: “What’s an example of the
correlation between your level of trust in the orderly and
beneficial unfolding of the universe and your level of stress?”
There were lots of great answers, all about perspective–how the
respondents found themselves viewing their children, their
responsibilities, their children, the economy, their personal
situations, and God.

5. THE LAST WORD: A SIMPLE FORMULA
A couple of weeks ago I sent you this brilliant formula for
changing your life, from my friend William Wittmann:
“Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.”
Have you been following it?
Here’s an example of what might work.
Pick any person in your life. Find things to appreciate in the
person. Tell the person what you appreciate, multiple times a
day, without any agenda of getting the person to do anything for
you.
Check to see if this is something that works, that you might want
to do more of.
William offers lots of useful FREE stuff you might enjoy. Check
it out here:

I’ll be back soon with more great stuff for you.
Until then,
“Trusting that you will go on until the priceless blessing of
perfect health is yours,” I wish you infinite blessings along
the way.
EXPECT GOOD THINGS!
To your freedom and wellness,
Dr. Gayek
P.S. You’re worth it!
