MORE ON HOW HEALING COMES FROM WITHIN

 

In his The Medium, The Mystic, and the Physicist, Lawrence LeShan, PhD,, quotes

William James:

 

" ...our personal waking consciousness, rational consciousness, as we call it, is

but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by

the flimsiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely

different. . . No account of the universe in its totality can be final which

leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded. . . . They forbid a

premature closing of our accounts with reality. " (from Varieties of Religious

Experience)

 

Dr. LeShan: " . . .the answer to my own ambivalence in adding this material to

my book is that the essence of science is that you must at least act as if you

are not afraid. You must follow where the data leads you and abide by the

results whatever your previous theories, biases, or wishes. And if the data

leads, as it did, against all my expectations and preferences into fields

hitherto left to religion, I had to follow the material and report it as

honestly as I could.

 

" The simplest and most basic statement of modern Western religion is the

statement most often ignored - or at least misunderstood.

 

" The recurring theme " God is Love " appears to mean exactly what it says: that

there is a force, an energy, that binds the cosmos together and moves always in

the direction of its harmonious action and the fruition of the separate parts.

In man, this force emerges and expresses itself as love, and this is the " spark

of the divine " in each of us.

 

" When this force is acknowledged and reinforced by the culture, it is possible

for human beings to relate harmoniously to themselves, to others, to the rest of

the cosmos, and to move toward the most unique and awesome self-fulfillment.

 

" When this force is ignored or discouraged, the energy becomes blocked and

distorted, and in all human history has been expressed in self-hatred, a hunger

for power, materialistic greed and ultimately, as the dehumanization of our time

makes clear, the real possibility of man's so disrupting the expression of his

energy as to end his part in the cosmic design.

 

" It seems to me that the challenge to science, to man, to the human experiment

is,

 

finally and irrevocably, whether or not man can accept that he is part of the

energy of the universe and can function harmoniously within it through his

capacity to love - infinitely. "

The Medium, The Mystic, and The Physicist - Helios Press - is available at your

bookstore. Dr. LeShan sees precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance as

impossible within the common-sense framework of sensory reality. Yet there is

overwhelming evidence confirming these experiences. He shows how, in exploring

the meaning of these unusual events, three radically different groups --

mediums, mystics, and physicists -- have all been working toward a description

of reality that is essentially and strikingly similar.

 

Inevitably, as in all his books, Dr. LeShan again shows us how healing and

health is directly related to the mind.

 

Drugs fix symptoms - while creating others, and they're needed in 'crisis' care.

But fixing symptoms is not healing. Unless there's healing, when we stop the

drugs, the symptoms return.

 

We need to remember Dr. Albert Schweitzer's observation, " The good doctor

awakens the doctor within. "

 

We appreciate that health is our natural gift from the Universal Intelligence

and that 'mental noise' is what must be released.
