Then, answered | prayers; good test results. Then, some potent reminders: “Healing is accomplished when the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain. Who would choose suffering unless s/he thought it :.. brought something of. value? Sickness is an election; a deci- - sion... the choice of weakness, in the mistaken conviction that it is strength. When this occurs, real strength is seen as threat and health as danger.” . Whew! I came close to regard- ing my good health as a threat to my being a better person. One need but decide, “There is . no gain at all to me in this” and’. s/he is healed. | agree that deci- ” ‘sions are of the mind, not of the. body. If sickness is but a faulty | problem-solving approach, itis a . decision. It is the mind and not the body that decides.” “The acceptance of sickness as a - decision of the mind, for a purpose - for which it would use the body, is the basis of healing. A patient decides that this is so, and s/he ©. recovers. If s/he decides against _tecovery, s/he will not be healed. Who is the physician? Cnly the mind of the patient. The outcome is what s/he decides, The patient — could merely rise up without the © “aid of special agents ministering to him or her and say, “T have no use. : for this!’ ‘There is no form of sick- ness that would rot be cured at - , once. ness is of the mind, and has noth- _ing to do with the body. This recognition ‘costs’ the whole _ world. The world will never again appear to rule the mind. Responsibility is placed where it belongs; not with the ‘outer’ world. but on s/he who locks on the world and sees it as it is not. S/he looks on what s/he chooses to | see. Regardiag this, we need to be very: conscientious ‘astrologically’. The world/iniverse/cosmos ‘does nothing to us. We only think. .- it does.
