Modern medicine has steered clear of anything that smacks of spirituality believing that a purely "scientific" or "mechanistic" understanding of the functioning of the human body would suffice in helping one achieve optimal health. As a result many individuals have allowed themselves to "buy into" this view of health and have, for years, treated their own bodies as if it was a machine that needs to be maintained. In spite of this we still find that there are many illnesses that have yet to be understood, and many new ones always creeping up on the horizon of our experience. In my view it is because modern medicine has missed what I believe is the key to all healing. Let me explain. The integrity of your physical body, in my view depends on one key factor, you. Now by "you" I mean the essence of who you are. So who are you exactly? Well if you reflect on the experience you have when you say to yourself the word "myself" you will likely recognize, if you are aware enough of what you feel, that there is a definite place in you body where this word "resonates" for you inside you body. Much like two tuning forks, resonating in synchrony, the word "myself" sets into "vibration" or "awakens" inside you a "feeling" of the being inside your body that represents that Self. Notice where this resonance lives inside of your physical body. Many experience it in their mid-chest or over their heart region. Now this might surprise you, or at least your mind, if that is where you "thought" you were. This is because, since the time our "personalities" started to form we adopted the idea that we were our personalities, and of course everyone knows where that is stored inside us, in our brains/minds. As a result you, the real you, the one that you may have felt when I asked you to do the little experiment with the word "myself", which I will call the Divine Self, has become somewhat forgotten and buried. Much like forgetting yourself and adopting an acting role scripted by the life experiences that form the personality. In all the years I practiced as a physician and psychiatrist, the Divine Self was never spoken about as an important factor in the healing process of an individual. It seems kind of strange, doesn't it that the being whose body is being addressed is not even included or consulted in such an important process? I have come to realize that in fact it is because this Divine Self is forgotten and is not consulted that the physical body gets ill in the first place. This will become clearer if I suggest that it is the role and function of this Divine Self to facilitate the proper and optimal functioning of the physical (and mental/emotional) body. I have worked with individuals to facilitate the re-emergence of the Divine Self that lives in their physical bodies with a modality that I have called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP). It acts to dismantle the beliefs that support the idea that an individual "is" their personality. When these beliefs are effectively released what re-emerges is an experience of the individuals Divine and Spiritual Self. What follows spontaneously is an experience of inner peace, joy, energy, lightness, a reduction in physical symptoms and in some cases, that I am currently researching further, anecdotal evidence that the re-emergence of the Divine Self can effect the healing of some unhealable conditions (See "Reversing Macular Degeneration Without Drugs or Surgery). It is becoming my view that the Divine Self must reclaim executive control over the physical body (i.e. the Divine or Spiritual Self must be in the body and orchestrating its functioning) for the body to heal and achieve optimal health. Without it the body will always break down. It's no wonder that the amount of time, energy and money that has poured into medical research has been so great over the last century. When you decide to exclude the very thing that is responsible for keeping the physical body healthy how successful can you be in supplanting it? Not very, in my view. |
