QUOTE FOR HEALING: THOUGHT AND ACTION<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be well it is not enough that a person should merely<br \/>\nthink in a Certain Way. He must apply his thought to<br \/>\nhimself, and he must express and externalize it in his<br \/>\noutward life by acting in the same way that he thinks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Wallace D. Wattles<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>3. FEATURE ARTICLE:  WHO &#8212; OR WHAT&#8211; DOES THE HEALING?<\/p>\n<p>Last week I sent you a link to a very inspiring and very<br \/>\nwell-made film, The Living Matrix, about how miracle healings<br \/>\nhappen.<\/p>\n<p>-&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scienceofbeingwell.net\/livingmatrix\">http:\/\/www.scienceofbeingwell.net\/livingmatrix<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the responses I received was this:<\/p>\n<p>CONSIDERING MY GIRLFRIEND HAS JUST FOUND OUT HER<br \/>\nBROTHER HAS TERMINAL CANCER (5 TUMOURS IN HIS<br \/>\nBRAIN ALONE!) I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE<br \/>\nACTUALLY EXPECTING ANYBODY TO BELIEVE THIS PACK<br \/>\nOF LIES!!!<\/p>\n<p>CURE FOR CANCER? THE MAN HAS BARELY WEEKS TO<br \/>\nLIVE \u2013 CAN YOU CURE THAT?<\/p>\n<p>I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU TRY!!!<\/p>\n<p>YES! I AM FLAMING ANGRY!!!<\/p>\n<p>The writer raises several critical questions about how healing<br \/>\nworks, including these:<\/p>\n<p>Who &#8211; or what &#8211; does the healing, when we get well?<\/p>\n<p>Is there a point at which illness or injury has<br \/>\nprogressed too far for a cure to happen?<\/p>\n<p>What can a person do to cause a cure to happen in him or<br \/>\nherself, or in another person?<\/p>\n<p>These are big questions. Why it&#8217;s useful to have your own answers<br \/>\nis that those answers guide your behavior, and give you a feeling<br \/>\nof confidence and security. Without answers, there&#8217;s a good<br \/>\nchance you&#8217;d feel stressed because of all the conflicting advice<br \/>\nabout health.<\/p>\n<p>Given that stress is the number one thing that interferes with<br \/>\nvibrant health, let&#8217;s see if sorting through some answers would<br \/>\nhelp!<\/p>\n<p>1. Who &#8211; or what &#8211; does the healing, when we get well?<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Wattles teaches that the power that heals is within us all:<\/p>\n<p>A human being &#8230; has within him a Principle<br \/>\nof Health. (The word Principle is used as<br \/>\nmeaning source.) The Principle of Health in<br \/>\na person, when in full constructive activity,<br \/>\ncauses all the voluntary functions of his<br \/>\nlife to be perfectly performed. It is the<br \/>\nPrinciple of Health in a person which really<br \/>\nworks all healing, no matter what system of<br \/>\nremedy is employed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And he teaches that this Principle of Health comes from the<br \/>\nPrinciple of Life in the universe, which is synonymous with God,<br \/>\nalso named by Wattles as the Supreme Mind, the Original<br \/>\nSubstance, the One Substance, the Intelligent Substance.<\/p>\n<p>So, God is the healer. God supplies the source of health to all<br \/>\npeople.<\/p>\n<p>By that explanation, &#8220;I&#8221; cannot cure anything. I am not the<br \/>\nhealer, nor is any doctor or practitioner, no matter what result<br \/>\nmay occur when such a person is present with one who is ill or<br \/>\ninjured.<\/p>\n<p>All I or any person can do, and all any medicine can do, is to<br \/>\nactivate, allow, or join with that invisible and immeasurable<br \/>\nforce in the person that causes the healing to occur.<\/p>\n<p>2. Is there a point at which illness or injury has progressed too<br \/>\nfar for a cure to happen?<\/p>\n<p>Wattles says, &#8220;If the tissues of your body have not been so<br \/>\ndestroyed that continued life is impossible, you can get well&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But, how do you know if the tissues of your body, or anyone<br \/>\nelse&#8217;s body, have been so destroyed that continued life is<br \/>\nimpossible?<\/p>\n<p>Certainly we have statistics, experience with the workings of<br \/>\nother people&#8217;s bodies that have been in similar conditions. So,<br \/>\nbased on this, we predict. But no one can KNOW the future, right?<\/p>\n<p>That means, no one can know when any particular person is going<br \/>\nto go over the edge of no return.<\/p>\n<p>After all, we&#8217;ve all heard of people who had &#8220;near death<br \/>\nexperiences,&#8221; in which, by all external measures, they were<br \/>\n&#8220;dead,&#8221; but then revived. And we&#8217;ve heard of people who had<br \/>\n&#8220;fatal&#8221; conditions, but miraculously healed.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, NONE OF US can really know if someone has<br \/>\nprogressed too far for a cure to happen, until after there is no<br \/>\nlonger life in the body.<\/p>\n<p>3. What can a person do to cause a cure to happen in him or<br \/>\nherself, or in another person?<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Wattles tells us that &#8220;if you will think and act in a certain<br \/>\nway, you will get well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Further, a doctor or healer can give medicine, food, prayer,<br \/>\nmanipulation, a plan of living, etc. that can cure a person by<br \/>\nbringing into creative activity the person&#8217;s Principle of Health.<\/p>\n<p>The key is that the person to be healed must have faith in the<br \/>\nmethod, and this faith is what activates the Principle of Health.<\/p>\n<p>Doubt, the opposite of faith, is therefore the most destructive<br \/>\nattitude a person can have.<\/p>\n<p>Given how much we tend to be influenced by the beliefs and<br \/>\nattitudes of those around us, the most useful and valuable thing<br \/>\nwe can offer those in our lives who want to be well is our own<br \/>\ntrue faith&#8211;not just empty words&#8211;in that which heals, and in the<br \/>\ntrue connection of that which heals to the people dear to us.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your name for the Ultimate Beingness, Ultimate<br \/>\nSubstance, Ultimate Power in the universe, if you want to be<br \/>\nwell, you must feel your connection with this Being\/Power.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to help others be well, you must have faith in THEIR<br \/>\nconnection with this Being\/Power as well as your own.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I would suggest to the dear writer of the angry note<br \/>\nthat because he cannot know what is in store for his girlfriend&#8217;s<br \/>\nbrother, what to do is apply all faith to whatever the brother<br \/>\nbelieves can activate the Principle of Healing that is within the<br \/>\nbrother.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the brother believes chemotherapy and radiation<br \/>\ncan cure him, then the writer should pour his faith into these<br \/>\nbeing the means through which that activation can occur.<\/p>\n<p>When you consider these question in terms of your own body, what<br \/>\ndo YOU believe can activate the power of healing within you?<\/p>\n<p>Your job, then, is to do what you believe will cause that power<br \/>\nto be active. Could it be, to think and act in a certain way?<\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p>LISTEN UP!<\/p>\n<p>If getting well this year is on your list, start with The Science<br \/>\nof Being Well Audiobook!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have an incredible voice.
