CHAPTER 15- "THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIND & BODY"
720. The BODY OBEYS THE MIND;
The BODY tends to MANIFEST WHAT THE MIND BELIEVES.
721. THE MIND IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE BODY.
722. A POSITIVE MIND will REFUSE TO ACCEPT NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
& simply REJECT THEM AS UNTRUE for oneself.
723. The person who has LET GO of the NEGATIVE ENERGIES OF GUILT
& FEAR does not believe, "A cold is going around; I'll probably catch it like everyone else."
724. THOUGHT IS POWERFUL.
The MORE ENERGY WE GIVE IT, the more power it has to MANIFEST ITSELF physically.
725. FEARFUL THOUGHTS are reinforced & given so much power that
EPIDEMICS (CORONA VIRUS) ARE ACTUALLY CREATED BY THE MEDIA.
726. MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER IS RELATIVELY COMMON.
727. THE MIND CONTROLS THE BRAIN.
728. The brain is activated by the MIND'S INTENTION.
729. LOVING-KINDNESS MEDITATION practices stimulated increased activity
in the left prefrontal cortex (the seat of positive emotions such as happiness)
& the production of high amplitutde gamma wave synchrony
(sign of expanded awareness, alertness, & insight).
730. NORMAN COUSINS, cured himself of serious physical illness by means of LAUGHTER.
731. LAUGHING is a method of LETTING GO. Through LAUGHTER, COUSINS just kept letting go
of the underlying emotional pressure & cancelling negative thoughts. This facilitated his eventual recovery.
732. DO I like TV programs that include HITTING, SHOUTING, FIST FIGHTS, MURDER,
TORTURE, CRIME, & other forms of VIOLENCE?
733. Am I a GUILT-RIDDEN person?
734. Am I holding a lot of ANGER?
735. Do I CONDEMN OTHER PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR? Am I prone to BE JUDGMENTAL?
736. Do I hold RESENTMENTS & GRUDGES?
737. Do I FEEL TRAPPED & HOPELESS?
738. Am I concerned with ACQUISITIONS & STATUS SYMBOLS
instead of quality of relationships?
739. The way to CHANGE OUR BODIES is to CHANGE OUR THOUGHTS & FEELINGS.
740. We must LET GO OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS & BELIEF SYSTEMS
& SHED THE STRESS OF NEGATIVE EMOTIONS that give them energy.
741. We have to CANCEL THE NEGATIVE PROGRAMMING.
742. We can see the DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF FEARFUL NEGATIVE PROGRAMMING.
743. Some people fear all types of foods. The world shrank so small
that there was nothing safe to eat anymore.
744. "WHAT IS HELD IN MIND TENDS TO MANIFEST"
745. The culprit was NOT THE WORLD but the MIND.
746. As each INTERNAL BELIEF was looked at & SURRENDERED,
ALL of the NEGATIVE BODILY REACTIONS, & SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED.
747. As the mind let go of its NEGATIVE PROGRAMMING, the body's reaction cleared.
748. STRESS ARISES within as a response to a stimulus.
749. The STRESSOR is PRESSURE of the SUPPRESSED & REPRESSED EMOTIONAL ENERGIES,
which are a REFLECTION OF OUR GENERAL LOW-LEVEL CONSCIOUSNESS.
750. "WITHOUT A CHANGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, THERE IS NO REAL REDUCTION OF STRESS."
751. The use of SURRENDER is MORE EFFECTIVE
in addressing CHRONIC STRESS-RELATED ILLNESSES.
752. We SURRENDER THE DESIRE TO CHANGE or CONTROL OUR EXPIERENCE OF LIFE.
753. SURRENDER is complete when a person has LET GO OF NEEDING OR WANTING
A PHYSICAL HEALING TO OCCUR.
754. PEACE comes with TOTAL INNER SURRENDER to WHAT IS.
