The Power (34 page)

You can feel this way most of the time, because unlimited health is available to you unceasingly through the force of love! There is never a second that anything is withheld from you. Whatever you want is yours, and that includes unlimited health. But you have to open the door to receive it!

What Do You Believe?

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

King Solomon
(circa 10th century BC)
BIBLICAL KING OF ISRAEL, IN PROVERBS 23:7

These are among the greatest words of wisdom ever given, but what do they mean, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he”?

What you think in your heart is what you believe to be true. Beliefs are simply repeated thoughts with strong feelings attached to them like, “I catch colds easily,” “I have a sensitive stomach,” “I find it hard to lose weight,” “I’m allergic to that,” “Coffee keeps me awake.” All these are beliefs, not facts. A belief is when you have made up your mind, the verdict is in, you’ve nailed the door shut and thrown away the key, and there is no room for negotiation. But whatever you believe and feel is true
will
be true for you, whether your beliefs help you or harm you. Whatever beliefs you give out, the law of attraction says you must receive back.

Many people have more fearful beliefs about disease than they have good beliefs about health. It’s not surprising because of the attention that is given to disease in the world, and you are surrounded by that every day. In spite of all the advances in medicine, disease is increasing because people have become increasingly fearful of disease.

Do you have more good feelings about health than you have negative feelings about disease? Do you believe in lifelong health more than you believe in the inevitability of disease? If you believe that your body will deteriorate with age and that disease is inevitable, you are giving out that belief, and the law of attraction must return it to you clothed as the circumstances and state of your health and body.

“For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.”

JOB 3:25

The placebo effect in medicine is proof of the power of belief. One group of patients is given real pills or treatment, and another group is given the placebo – a sugar pill or fake treatment – but neither is told which one is a cure for their symptoms or illness. Yet the group that gets the placebo often experiences significant improvements and the reduction or disappearance of symptoms. The startling results of the placebo effect regularly demonstrate the power of beliefs on our body. What you continually
give
to your body with your beliefs or strong feelings, you must
receive
in your body.

Every feeling you have saturates every cell and organ in your entire body. When you have good feelings, you are giving love and you receive the full force of health through your body at an astounding rate. When you have bad feelings, the tension causes your nerves and cells to contract, the vital chemical production in your body changes, your blood vessels contract, and your breathing becomes shallow, all of which reduces the force of health in your organs and your entire body. Disease is simply the result of a body’s not being at ease over a long period of time, because of negative feelings like stress, worry, and fear.

“Your emotions affect every cell in your body. Mind and body, mental and physical, are intertwined.”

The World Inside Your Body

There is an entire world inside you! To realize the power you have over your body, you need to know about this world – because all of it is under your command!

All the cells in your body have a role to play, and they work together for the sole purpose of giving you life. Some cells are the leaders of particular regions or organs, and they manage and direct all the working cells in their region, like your heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and lungs. The leader cell of an organ directs and manages all the other cells working in that organ, ensuring order and harmony so the organ works perfectly. Patrol cells travel throughout the sixty thousand miles of blood vessels in your body to maintain order and peace. When there is a disturbance, such as a scratch to the skin, the patrol cells immediately signal the alert, and the appropriate repair team rushes to the area. For a scratch, the first on the scene is the blood-clotting team, and they work to arrest the blood flow. After their work is done, the tissue and skin teams move in to do the repair work to the area, mending the tissue, and sealing the skin.

If an intruder enters your body, like a bacterial infection or virus, the memory cells immediately take an imprint (snapshot) of the intruder. The imprint is checked against their records to see if there is a match with previous intruders. If they find a match, the memory cells immediately notify the relevant attack team to destroy the intruder. If there is no match, the memory cells open up a new file on the intruder, and
all
the attack teams are summoned to move in and destroy the intruder. Whichever attack team is successful in destroying the intruder is then recorded by the memory cells in their files. If the intruder returns, the memory cells will know who they are dealing with and exactly how to deal with them.

If for any reason a cell of your body begins to change its behavior and cease to work for the good of the body, the patrol cells signal the rescue team to rush in to repair the cell. If a cell needs a particular chemical to be repaired, it is found inside your natural pharmacy. You have a complete pharmacy operating inside you that can produce every healing chemical that a pharmaceutical company can produce.

All cells must work as a team, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for their entire life. Their sole purpose is to maintain the life and health in your body. You have around 100 trillion cells in your body. That’s 100,000,000,000,000 cells who are working nonstop to give you life! All 100 trillion cells are under your command, and you are commanding them and instructing them with your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

Whatever you believe about your body, your cells believe too. They don’t question anything you think, feel, or believe. In fact, they hear every thought, feeling, and belief you have.

If you think or say, “I always get jetlag when I travel,” your cells receive “jetlag” as a command, and they must carry out your instructions. Think and feel that you have a weight problem, and your cells receive the order of a weight problem. They must follow your instructions and keep your body in an overweight condition. Be afraid you might catch an illness, and your cells receive the message of the illness, and they immediately get busy creating the symptoms of the illness. Your cells’ responding to your every command is simply the law of attraction working inside your body.
