Reinventing Medicine: Beyond Mind-Body to a New Era of Healing - Larry Dossey

Even though the verification of the miracle is the denial of it, I found the anecdotes in this book quite entertaining. (Margareth Lee) Amazon.com Cue the theme song to the Twilight Zone: Research shows your plants won't grow as well when you're depressed as when you're happy. Praying for someone else will improve your own health, too. The growth of E. coli bacteria is inhibited when a group of people merely think about stopping the growth. And qi gong practitioners in San Francisco can kill cancer cells in other peoples' bodies--by willing the cells to die. These ideas surely sound ludicrous, but these and other similarly mindboggling studies have been commissioned and replicated by researchers at Harvard, Duke, McGill, and other esteemed universities. Larry Dossey is known as the father of mind-body medicine and perhaps best known for his advocacy of the role of prayer in healing in 1995's bestselling Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine. He admits that working on such seemingly impossible projects a few years ago would have ruined a researcher's career with "ATF," or "the anti-tenure factor." But things are changing. He wrote Reinventing Medicine to present proof that "the mind can literally change the external world" and how this "nonlocal mind" will change health care in the future. His argument for the existence of this nonlocal mind is as convincing as it is eloquently conveyed. Doubters, he says, merely need to examine their own dreams for proof this is true. When was the last time you had a conversation or found yourself in a situation you dreamed about the night before? Studies from as early as the 1960s "strongly suggest that dreams are an avenue of nonlocal communication between separate, distant persons." Dossey's support of the nonlocal mind is sure to draw pooh-poohs from cynics, including M.D.s, but, he warns, health-care workers are bound to experience this force firsthand: "Doctors can experience their patients' symptoms nonlocally, and this can be unpleasant." He cites the example of psychiatrist Mona Lisa Shulz, a medical intuitive, who "began to grow increasingly uncomfortable, feeling hot and flushed," while speaking over the phone with a feverish patient. Dossey says this telesomatic event, extreme empathy, or whatever you want to call it, is dangerous, but that "empathic balance" is something that will be taught in medical schools in the future to ensure accurate diagnoses of ill patients. Dossey was one of the first vanguards of mind-body medicine, which is basically accepted as fact today; he's again presenting the future of medicine, as otherworldly as it seems. --Erica Jorgensen From Publishers Weekly Always in the vanguard, physician Dossey (Prayer Is Good Medicine, etc.) makes a fascinating case for the next revolution in medicine beyond the current era of mind-body healing. Rather than signaling an entirely new direction, he defines a larger, more humane vision based on incorporating advances in integrative medicine. His brief, persuasive work is bound to attract attention from the general public and medical professionals alike, especially in light of his pioneering work on the connection...

Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now

A review: I felt great resistance when I first heard of this book, but 3 readers wrote to me recommending it. So I knew it contained a lesson for me. First I examined the excerpts of Eckhart Tolle's writings. I was unfavorably impressed. In order to write a fair review, I read the entire book, which was very hard to do. The material the Holy Spirit usually leads me to gives me so much. It takes me into experiences that are not of this world, because the Light in me connects to that in the author. Well, my conclusion is: I see and hear that Tolle fulfills the function of an idol for many and he is not opposed to this. The Eastern teachings usually elicit this behavior in followers. In my belief system this is disempowerment. Tolle could represent the idea of divine manifestation without turning him into an idol. It seems difficult to transcend this devotion to the guru, for most it is just another stumbling block on their path. There are more effective ways to overcome the ego and experience the manifestation of the divine. Furthermore, I found that everything Tolle says has been said before. I don't want to elaborate too much on that, because it is not wrong in itself. It just does not add anything to my insight. Moreover, most of the Truth that I find in his views is cited from "A Course in Miracles" and either distorted, or the spiritual ego in action. In this regard it is a lot like the books by Ken Wapnick, which also are not recommended on absolute1.net. Tolle is telling us to control our minds, and watch our thought processes. Every teacher tells us this, as well as my Teacher in “A Course in Miracles”. The means to do it, however, are often not clear. Most people are incapable of doing this without help from a higher source. Millions in India are utilizing the Vipassana meditation technique that Tolle recommends. I have been to satsangs (sessions) and have spoken with some of the practicing guru's and found little Truth and lots of darkness and ignorance. Jesus has taught me to look at the fruits, and they do not seem very attractive. Logical, if you have to rely on the "spiritual ego". I believe God has a plan. A Course in Miracles is part of that plan and offers the ones in whose hands it comes (and that only happens if it is destined), the perfect approach. There is help available in the form of connecting to our inner guidance, the Holy Spirit. It does not matter how you call it, as long as you establish this contact, you have Allknowingness to bring every question to and let It's Light shine on it. Finally I looked at his website, where I discovered that Eckhart on his trip through India was fed a vitamin drink by his loving companions, which tasted dreadfully the first few days. And there was some talk about his allergies giving him a hard time. In accordance with A Course in Miracles, I consider using vitamins and external means, like medicines, a demonstration of belief in magic. All this thinking and theorizing about what is right for the body interferes with Divine Grace, Who takes perfect care of us in every possible way. A belief in magic needs healing, not promoting it through a website. It is not wrong to believe in magic; we are all struggling with the same ego convictions. However, Tolle placed this on his website without even questioning the value of it to his associations. At the same time he assumes the role of a teacher of "A Course in Miracles"! As the Course states: "Step back now, teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you have lost it. Turn quickly to your Teacher, and let yourself be healed." (Manual for Teachers, 22, 5,7-10) I am grateful to Eckhart Tolle for showing me a role that is in my mind. Of course there is no such thing as a wrong teaching. Everyone is our savior, also those who show us where not to go. I could clearly see that what was bothering me most about his book is an old issue in the human mind, the abuse of our "holy scriptures" to mislead seekers. Tolle's work confronted me with this idea, and made it necessary for me to take it to the Light of Truth, so it could be released. I am sure Tolle is doing a wonderful job, especially in healing his own mind and those of the people who are associated with him, regardless of his intentions. Any attempt at healing always gets the support of the Holy Spirit. Even if this help is not recognized. I hope the Presence he speaks of, is truly an experience for him. However, even if that would not be the case, he has entered the path of healing and will be healed. He already is, in Reality. His work is necessary for all who come in contact with it. I learned that from Joseph Benner, in his book "The Impersonal Life". He must be offering them something they need. Even if it is just the need for diversion tactics, to ward off Truth. Been there, done that… I am very happy that the readers brought this to my attention, because I wondered why I should reject a book that reformulates spiritual principles in a way that beginners can understand, even though there is a lot lacking. Many books I read and place on my website or recommend demonstrate the same shortcomings. But I realize now, that they also add something to my understanding and therefore to that of my associations (and visitors), and since most are what somebody called “spiritual pioneers”, they do not just chew the same stuff over and over again, trying to make a living. Most of them would have refused to live the way most spiritual teachers are living nowadays. Not that they lived in poverty, but they did not value the valueless. That is not criticizing anyone, because the times have changed and also the demands and needs of the world. It's more a personal preference for the simple, inconspicuous and quiet life. And a deep admiration for those who under difficult circumstances were able to surrender so completely. I wondered why people try so hard to keep Truth off and run after teachings, that are dead-end alleys. Especially with "A Course in Miracles" available and the teachings of Joel Goldsmith and others. The thing you are really looking for is YOU! Since you may not yet be in the experience of that, I had maybe better say: "in you"! And no one can give it to you, not even the most enlightened teacher, only the Source can, through your intentions. You only have to "ask". So when you think of any guru and see light, it is not his, it is yours! It is the Light of the Christ in you, the Divine Spirit! And if you have the idea that it is connected to your guru, that is something the ego is trying to make you believe, so you won't accept the Light as yours. The Course tells me, that I don't know what anything is for. And I am glad that is so. I am glad because I feel in my innermost Self that everything is always perfect, just the way it is. Everyone has their own path. So Tolle's book may be right for many, even if it is not for me. I am learning forgiveness, as my way to salvation. I feel that the world needs love and forgiveness, putting up our swords. Therefore I need to learn and teach (live) that. I cannot offer my readers Tolle while Truth is available. Tolle's book contains one good observation, which all Truth teaching has offered. The human mind identifies with concepts and books. While I was reading his book, I fell into the same trap, because to me the way he quoted from "A Course in Miracles" was sacrilege. The Course adds that the ego has an overwhelming desire to be right. I guess my review will not make everyone happy, and some followers of Tolle will think I am wrong. Well, dear One: I am wrong! I am always wrong and I am very happy that that is so. Nothing my human thinking ever thought up has any value. I choose and I get the benefit or the disadvantage of that. Fortunately I have a wonderful Guide, Who gives me every opportunity to choose again, if I am on the wrong track. I wish I could join everyone in their thinking, but that is impossible. We are one on the only level where it really matters. I thank the readers for giving me an opportunity to look deeper into my 'resistance' and appreciate my guidance more. It has been a valuable lesson. Peace, Margareth March 2008 - several years later. I don't even remember when I wrote the foregoing. As I am healed, my whole world is being healed with me. Lately I have been given evidence that Tolle has been healed. His new book "A New Earth" is wonderful. He has let himself be taught well. Now he is offering classes based on the book. Together with Oprah Winfrey everyone can watch their lessons through webcasts on pc. I don't know how long this will be available, but here is a link: www.oprah.com

Annie Rix Militz - Both Riches and Honor

Annie Rix Militz teaches us to view prosperity in the right way, as the Presence of God. Therefore we should not reject or despise it, but see it as the legitimate expression of spiritual life. However, to be truly prosperous, selfishness has to be overcome. Selfish people sometimes seem to attain prosperity, but the path of such prosperity is filled with decay and death. James Allen also writes poignantly about this. She also describes the trap of riches. It is the belief that money causes happiness. We are entitled to abundance, but it becomes a stumbling block if we attach the wrong value to it. Annie Rix Militz continues with the statement that many are satisfied with little while that is not necessary. It is caused by an incorrect interpretation of bible texts. Again the ego has distorted the facts as much as possible to keep us away from our divine heritage. When we see God as the source of our prosperity and realize that our thoughts and our trust bring us prosperity and are not attached to the material, we are truly prosperous. Annie Rix Militz states that we must not believe that you can only become rich at the expense of others. Your eternal faith in yourself, in your neighbors and in your world lies in the realization of the truth of these two master thoughts: First. Your richness is a blessing to all creation: Second. It is the will of the true God that you be a great success on earth as well as 'm heaven. True prosperity adds to the richness of the whole earth, it prospers others. My benefit is your benefit; your success is my success. Those who are prosperous through knowledge of Truth, bring prosperity to the whole earth, they bring heaven on earth. Annie Rix Militz gives various affirmations and exercises and the following advise: if manifesting seems to go slowly, do not acknowledge that, and also do not acknowledge failures. Your treasures in heaven have to take shape as treasures on earth. Be patient in faith. The Christ consciousness, our recognition of our divinity, is our consciousness of prosperity. When we have this consciousness, everything we undertake is prosperous. In the first place we should always be about our Father's business.

Lillian DeWaters - LIGHT OF THE ETERNAL

Chapter 8 contains the essence of this book. Absorb the Truth as it emerged through Lillian Dewaters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8        The Radiant Perfect Self Accepting the RADIANT PERFECT Self to be the all and the whole of us, we have found the Real God - at hand. Everyone and everything accepts the air and the sunlight in their infinite, indivisible form -available to all alike. THE RADIANT PERFECT SELF - likewise - belongs to everyone. Its infinitude and its completeness are ours, and we are It, in Wholeness, Perfection and everlasting Bliss- here and now. The One-Selfhood is INDIVISIBLE - thus it cannot be individualized. We are entitled to It as a whole, and in no other way. In It, there is no cause, effect, ignorant thought or impure thing. In It, there is no karma, error, or mortal mind. Our supreme desire should be to think as this Self, to see as this Self, express and BE this Self -and no other. Such desire comes from the Heart - full of fervor, ardor and delight. Delight in the Self! Rejoice in the Self! Magnify the Self! Any attainments made individualistically are like attainments made in dreams. When one wakens from sleep, can he find them? Liberation gained through personal, mental work is unreliable -the same as when one sleeps, regardless how successful he is at better dreaming, one dream is as useless as another. FALSE IDENTIFICATION is the one obstacle in one 's way to Perfection, Wholeness, Harmony. In Revelation alone -where we identify truly -we are THE RADIANT PERFECT SELF. False identification has been abandoned. It is not the body which proclaims itself the separate 'I'. Separateness and individualism appear because the identity does not identify himself as the Self - but as a man, idea, individual, manifestation. Sin, sickness and death appear until Absolute Identification is recognized and accepted. Cease the desperate longing to overcome something, to work out something, to rise above something or to be healed of something. Give up work, fight and warfare! In the place of your utter surrender, where you acknowledge defeat - be still. Lo! Light of Truth lifts you to heights unknown to you before. In one 's constant fight and struggle to save himself through mental treatment, he loses sight of an outstanding feature of the true teaching -precisely as follows: "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." (Matthew 10:39) Only in losing his personal sense of Life can one find his true Life - Life as it REALLY is. Let yourself go - the self which is working and fighting. Why identify with it? It is the ghost which finally everyone must renounce, and cease to claim as himself. What tears are wasted upon illusion! What grief, depression and despair! Deliverance comes not while one is trying to master a belief, destroy a claim or conquer an illusion - but when he departs from such darkness. Confessing failure and futility - resting for a brief second, still and alone - of a sudden, the veil is rent from top to bottom. Light has illumined the darkness! No longer is he a defeated warrior or a cringing slave. Might, Majesty and Glory are now his, beyond words to tell. Like a mighty Amen, he hears the echoing, clarion words- "The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.".. ..." Be still, and know that I am God." Exodus 14:14) (psalms 46:10) He knows now who the Lord is. The Radiant Self is his full and complete Deliverance. If only one will turn from PERSONALITIES, SYSTEMS, METHODS, to face God alone, how quick his deliverance, and powerful- as though he had attained before he started, and had reached his journey 's end before it began. One of the sayings of the illumined Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.) is strikingly apropos to SURRENDER and ATTAINMENT. His saying is as follows: Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved. Success is the lurking place of failure; and who can tell when the turning point will come? He who acts, destroys; he who grasps, loses. Therefore the sage does not grasp, and so does not lose. Only he who does nothing for his life 's sake can truly be said to value his life. When disturbances arise, take refuge in your Eternal Being - THE RADIANT PERFECT SELF. Do not allow yourself to be weighted down by the burden of another. Behold the Self -instead of the personality -the Self "with face shining as the sun, and raiment white as the light, transfiguring the whole earth with living triumph." (Emma Curtis Hopkins) Absolute surrender and absolute attainment are one and identical- the identity functions as the SeIf -I AM THAT I AM. The world one sees about him is synonymous with his Vision and Realization of the Real and the Divine, and his ability to abide in the Self alone. Receive - take - abide in T h a t which is yours by grace - as Reality. Living in obedience to the Voice of the Heart, Illumination is natural. The Heart and the mind can never be unified. Identify yourself either with one or the other. With one -the egomind -one works to build himself a higher state of consciousness, to construct a better body and create a more harmonious human existence. With the Heart one loves the Real AS IT IS. Light pervades his whole existence. He is conscious of no difference between himself and the Light. He walks in the Kingdom of the Self where Freedom, Love and Bliss for ever abide. You - not someone or something outside of you or with you -you, your-self, are THE RADIANT PERFECT SELF. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contents 1    REALITY ITSELF 2    THE KINGDOM OF THE SELF 3    THE ONE ALONE 4    THE GREAT ACHIEVEMENT 5    THE PRICE OF GLORY 6    THE PERFECT MANIFEST 7    SPONTANEOUS ILLUMINATION 8    THE RADIANT PERFECT SELF 9    THE SON OF GOD 10    THE INFINITE 11    THE ABSOLUTE 12    UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER 13    “LOOK FROM WHERE THOU ART” 14    FORGIVENESS 15    FORGIVING OTHERS 16    MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES 17    THE ALL AS UNITY 18    OUR BELOVED SELF 19     GREAT BLISS For a limited time buyers will receive a free copy of the following ebooks: By Joseph Benner, the anonymous author of "The Impersonal Life", the little book that Elvis Presley loved so much, the following ebooks which contain his views on prosperity : - The Way Out - You can read the beginning of this ebook at the bottom of this page. - The Way Beyond You can receive them as PDF, zipped or MS Reader file, whichever you prefer.

Joseph Benner (Anonymous) - The Way Out

Read here the beginning of "THE WAY OUT" by Joseph Benner. We know that with many finances are often a problem. All followers of Jesus Christ should learn the law which if obeyed will enable them to rise out of all conditions of lack, limitation, inharmony, disease and unhappiness that may manifest. You ask if this is really possible, and if there is a law which if obeyed will enable us to accomplish all that. We say emphatically, there is such a law, and that you can be free from the fear and dominance of money, that you can have an abundance of all good things, that you can be well and happy, and can bring about an adjustment into perfect harmony to all departments of your life if you want these things enough to train yourself to obey this law. You say that you would do anything to obtain such wonderful blessings, if it is humanly possible. It is not only possible, but everyone who is filled with such a desire can do it. For know a great truth, that you are permitted to be in such unhappy conditions by your Higher Self solely in order that you may seek and gain the knowledge, the power and the ability to control them, in order to free yourself forever from them and to assume your true place in life, and therein receive the heritage of good that is here for you, whenever you become wise and strong enough to claim it and use it for the good of others and not for selfish ends. First know that it is all a matter of consciousness, and that you, yourself alone, are to blame for these conditions: for you alone created them and are firmly holding them in your consciousness or they would not be so plainly manifesting. All this we are taught in those great words, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". We know that you have heard this stated perhaps many times before, and so often that it may have become an old story. Some of you have tried to prove it and to rid your consciousness of all your negative thoughts; but because it took determined and persistent effort you soon grew tired, on account of the strong opposition met with, and you then dropped back into the current of the old conditions and if anything became more helpless than you were before. Others may have heard of the saying, but it did not impress them; for they could not accept the assertion that any of the inharmonies in their lives are the result of their own beliefs, or of their past thinking crystallized into beliefs. They preferred to blame it all on someone else, and even God came in for a share of the blame. The main trouble with almost everyone is that they do not realize how many negative and destructive beliefs they are carrying around with them in the subconscious realms of mind and which creep through into the conscious mind whenever it is free from interest in other things. Until you can begin to study your mind and watch for and note these negative beliefs when they come and you will find that they are actually beliefs and refuse them further support, there is not much hope for you. In fact it is the first thing you must learn to do. Those who are too mentally lazy to do such watching and controlling of their thoughts, are usually the ones who will not accept that their own thinking and beliefs create for them all of the conditions now manifesting in their lives. But it makes no difference whether you accept it as being true or not; it is the law. You can also read a chapter from The Way Beyond by Joseph Benner here.
