THE INNER HEALER #4

FAITH

The saddest and most impoverishing notion humans cling to is that we are limited by the laws of the natural world that we ourselves have contrived in order to try and understand or misunderstand the Unknowable.

There is a crucial difference between being subject to, and being constrained by. 

Spontaneous remission of a fatal disease is a miracle tantamount to seeing water running uphill. It should not happen. Noetic Sciences published two books which described devout Christian patients studied by physicians appointed by the Vatican that had spontaneous remission of deadly diseases after visiting Lourdes in France. These doctors had all the pre and post curing data following the remission which lead them to ascribe the event of spontaneous remission in 67 patients. 

Spontaneous remissions, which according to the medical profession are anecdotal, are more common than one may think and can occur with shamanic techniques, psychic healing, with chi gong masters as well as many other techniques. 

These are the variables below, gleaned from the Noetic Sciences publications that seem to portend this amazing outcome. Controlling fear was a big part of them.                               

“Fear itself is not a foe but acquiescing to fear empowers it to be a formidable one.” Hillel

 

“S/he who sees life as a process of spiritual perfection
 does not fear external events.” Tolstoy

 

Factors Facilitating Spontaneous Remission of Diseases 

that have defied the best of what allopathic medicine has to offer. 

 

The will to live, a fighting spirit, taking control and having unfulfilled goals that they were intent on realizing. Some had lofty goals to achieve and were committed to getting well in order to realize them.

Accepting the truth of the diagnosis and committing totally to the medical team as well as any other meaningful integrative methods of healing. Moreover, having a team that were supportive of these alternative methods.

Being knowledgeable both intuitively and intellectually but yet trusting that the challenge could be beaten.  

Being fearless, avoiding stress, saying no to anything that could disrupt their focus and expressing their needs to their supporters. Not being subject to anything that would interfere with the healing process -  having a one minded focus. 

(Release yourself from what you are not accountable.)

Having love and support and not being reticent to involve any others that could help. 

Making good choices and regarding their physicians and healers as partners not controllers in the challenges ahead. 

Finding new meaning in the predicament, such that it led to major life changes and transformation. 

Those who had had a prior rite of passage seemed to have an easier time of it. 

The main factors mitigating towards a successful outcome were a spiritual belief (not necessarily religious) and an overwhelming feeling that all would be well - Faith.

 

The measure of your faith is the only limit to realizing God's potential for you.

 

It will be given to you according to the measure of your faith.

 

“Faith in the gods or spirits cures one, faith in little pills another, hypnotic suggestion a third, faith in a plain common doctor a fourth… 
The faith with which we work has its limitations such as we find it but faith is the most precious commodity, without which we would be very badly off.” William Osler M.D.

Many said that they would not have chosen to have the disease but yet were extremely grateful for the changes it brought that they had to make in order to get well.
