Henry Grayson is working on another book!! Here is a brief intro...
And further, why does someone who runs five miles a day for years for his cardiovascular health suddenly drop dead from a heart attack while running? Why do some people have "spontaneous remissions" from a so-called fatal illness while others die? Why do some people living near a toxic chemical environment get sick and others living in the same neighborhood do not? We must also ask: why do we not do many of the practices we know that help us to stay healthy? Why is it that all of the people who take classes to learn how to meditate to keep their stress level down, only 5% will continue to practice it? Why do we say we will exercise regularly, but then do not? Why do we not take supplements when we say we will, and which we know would be helpful to us, especially since our soils are so sorely depleted of essential nutrients? What is this something that seems to stop us from following such healthy regiments, even though we say we will do them? I will show how we all have barriers to healing and health, and how we can identify them.
How did most doctors and nurses survive when they were exposed daily to the plague in Europe when such a large percentage of people died? Could it be that their compassion and desire to be of help made their immune systems stronger? Or could they have had thoughts which made a difference, such as, "how can I get sick, I am a doctor?" One historian explained it thus regarding the plague in Europe: In Hamburg, 200,000 people died: 100,000 died from the plague and 100,000 died from fear. Perhaps the historian begins to take us to answers that are beyond the common mechanistic view of people and medicine, where the body is viewed as a machine and a body part is what needs to be fixed, and that is separated from our mind. There is another view from the new sciences and from ancient spiritual wisdom that sees an invisible, yet extremely powerful universe- one where it is mind and consciousness that rules-- not matter! Our tribal mind thinking left over from the 350 yeard old science of Isaac Newton and the philosophy of Rene Descarte has limited us, particularly our medical systems and our health-- and how the new science of quantum physics and ancient wisdom of spiritual thought can bring us greater health and happiness.
Though not wanting to admit it consciously, many people want to remain essentially as powerless victims, seeing the cause and the cure of their symptoms as external. This book is for those tired of feeling powerless and tired of sickness and "happening to them," and now wish to embrace their immense internal power of being a part of the Source Energy and Intelligence of the Universe, ready to get past viewing the body as just a mechanistic machine with parts to be fixed.
This is not a book about blaming the victim. Too many books on self healing have been interpreted to mean that we must blame ourselves or others for being sick. But there is never a need for blame. Instead, this is a book about finding, embracing, and learning to use our internal power to heal to remain in health wile uncovering our True Self in the process. Guilt would only make us more likely to get sick. And it is the part of our minds which would keep us from embracing our immense internal power to heal.
But we can take the unconscious use of our power which made us sick and use it instead for healing and health. This, therefore, is a book about how we can dis-cover and use a healing force within us which most of us have glimpsed only on rare occassions, and even then, only to a minor degree. Yet, there is a part of our minds which I call the ego mind, that would like us to forever disown this power and see ourselves as victims whenever we get sick physically or emotionally. If we allow this part of our minds to make us guilty or fall into blame, we actually keep ourselves in the state of sickness.
