The Renegade Doc Comments

It has been my passion in life, though only recently recognized and articulated by me, to see people (and myself!) find real and deep healing for not only their physical, but also their emotional/spiritual dis-eases.  Yet I personally struggle with, and most if not all of my friends and clients struggle with, the seeming reality that we are not healed of our dis-eases.

Why not?

There seems to me to be a couple of reasons.

First, let’s talk about how life “works.” We are spirits living in a physical body, here to learn how to manifest what is truly real in the spirit world into this physical world.  As spirit we have all that we need and are complete, not dis-eased, living abundantly and powerfully.  (Though as a Jesus Follower I believe we lack one thing – the Life of and Personal Communion with God/Father.  That also is obtainable and the REAL purpose behind all the rest.)  As Dr. Robert Anthony points out,  though, there is a “lag,” fortunately, between the thought in spirit and its manifestation in physical.  If you could say “I have $100″ and $100 showed up to help you, you could also say “The boogie man is after me” and the boogie man  would show up to hurt you. So there are two “minds” at work to effect this lag.  Ideas, thoughts, wishes all happen in the BRAIN.  Emotion, feeling all happens in the HEART.  Ideas and thoughts have to get out of the brain and into the heart and emotion before any ACTUAL manifestation into the physical world can occur

Applying these concepts to healing, we must realize first and foremost that we are sick because we FEEL that we are.  For some reason (feeling unloved and needing to control things ourselves) we allow fear into our emotion and after the lag time it manifests as illness.

So why don’t we find healing?  I think one reason is because we do not go into the deep emotional places in our hearts to discover what emotions are causing the dis-ease.  Instead, we use our heads and our thinking (research, technology, diagnoses) to attempt to bring some change at the physical level.  We can do that to a point, but eventually the dis-ease returns because we don’t change the emotion.  The actual “healing” is the energy to change the emotion and only needs to be received and allowed to work.  But the receiving is actually very simple.  Like a radio receiver, we need only let the information come in and do what it does.  Instead, we want to change it, control it, make it look like something else we would rather have.  Or we are scared that changing our emotion at such a core level will change our life in a way that will be uncomfortable to us.  Healing being uncomfortable – that is an interesting thought!  But it happens all the time.

Another reason we don’t receive healing, I think, is because we truly don’t believe it can happen.  Like Peter walking on water, although he did it, his brain took over and he stopped believing – and he stopped water-walking as well.  We are the same.  Suppose I had a herniated disc, for example, and received healing to the point that the back and leg pain was gone and I was as good as a teenager.  Guaranteed on waking the next morning I would think – “I’m supposed to be in pain” and boom! the pain would be back.

Something about this existence here on the planet makes us want to live in our heads and not our hearts.  Let’s get back into our hearts.  Let’s receive and believe our healing.
