“At the very instant that you think, “I am happy,” a chemical
messenger translates our emotion, which has no solid existence whatever in the
material world, into a bit of matter so perfectly attuned to your desire that
literally every cell in your body learns of your happiness and joins in.”
“ However it works, the key seems to be spontaneity." I think this is a very important point. Because it cannot be done by will-power. Awareness, then submission and release. I think that's why unplanned prayers have such a magically instant effect.
“To live with constant fear, even without cancer in your body,
is not a good state of health. The war is not over; it has merely moved from
open skirmishes to underground terrorism.
The underlying philosophy in cancer treatment is that the
mind will just have to stand by while the body endures devastation. In other
words, an open clash is actually encouraged in the mind-body system. How can
this be called healing? In a clash between mind and body, the patient is fighting
on both sides - there is only his body and his mind. Isn’t it obvious that when
a loser emerges, it will be he?
The vital issue is not how to win the war but how to keep
peace in the first place.”
An excellent book. I'd have to photocopy it to get all the quotes I want to pass on to others, so just read it all :)
