If you’ve been following these Friday’s post for the past few weeks you know I’m pushing the boundaries on what you think reality is, and this post is going to be no different.

WARNING: It will take quite a deal of mental strength to read, comprehend what I’m about to offer to you. And if you read this with an open and curious mind, I guarantee you your thinking about health and illness will begin to shift.

Have you ever thought about how you become ill?

Have you considered that your thoughts may play a role in your illness?

Would you be surprised, or even outraged, to learn that generally people put themselves in the role of victim with regard to illness.

Without even realizing it, most people tend to take the stance that there are various illnesses out there waiting to get them.

People think they can catch a disease from someone else.

But what if this is not a fact; what if this is just part of most people’s belief system?

You may find this idea difficult to accept, because you may be wondering about all the microbes and viruses that are normally attributed to causing illness.

It may help if you consider how the concept of microbes and viruses could fit in with how you create your experiences based on what you believe is possible.

This puzzle becomes easier to understand if you remember the different people and places you create in your dream state of consciousness, and then interact with as if they are solid and separate to you.

You use the same creative process in your waking state of consciousness that you use in your dream state of consciousness.

Therefore you can see that creating a microbe or virus is no different from creating any other object.

Whatever you create you interact with in accordance with your beliefs about it.

So if you believe microbes and viruses make you ill, that will be your experience.

How many times have you found yourself expecting to catch a cold because so many people are coughing and sneezing around you?

You need to change your perception of illness in the same way that you changed your perception of the terms physical, spiritual and death.

Once you realize that illness is a concept, and therefore subject to your beliefs about it, you can start to change your experience of it.

If you are ‘ill’ you should look on it in just the same way as any other experience in your life, and so look at your own thoughts and beliefs for its origin, and of course its cure.

Your natural state is ‘healthy’, which you can maintain perfectly well if you trust yourself to do so, and don’t impede this healthy state with limiting thoughts and beliefs.

It is easy to forget that your body is your own conscious construction, just the same as any other object in your personal reality.

Your body image and health are dependent upon your total belief system, which can include concepts such as heredity, evolution, diet, disease and ageing.

You may find it useful to make a list of what you think the facts are about the body as opposed to beliefs about the body.

Once you are aware that you are dealing with beliefs about the body, you can take back responsibility and stop looking to others for your well-being, such as doctors, surgeons, and chemists etc.

This does take discipline, so in the mean time, work on your beliefs and see a doctor if the illness is serious enough. Also, get of copy of “The Biology of Belief”, this will help me with understanding the connection between your beliefs and your body.

Applying your new belief, that only you support your own health, should be done gradually and with care.

It will be different for each of you, dependent on your present belief system, which will include confidence in your own ability.

To build confidence, it is best to start with some small symptom of illness with which you can verify your ability to make a real change in your health.

As you gain in confidence you can progress to what you consider more difficult symptoms of illness.

The actual process of how you effect a change in health is exactly the same, whatever the type of illness.

To illustrate this point, try to think of an instance where this process would not apply.

Dependent upon your belief system, and while you are gaining in confidence, you may find yourself being assisted in reaching your healthy state by such people as doctors, chemists or alternative health practitioners.

This can be thought of as a weaning period.

It is important to understand that while you still have a belief in the doctor’s pills then you should continue to take them.

Sometimes you might manifest a so-called ‘illness’ because of a lack of understanding about a particular set of circumstances.

For instance you may believe that you are going to be faced with some unpleasant task that you can do nothing about.

As a response to this you incapacitate yourself in some way, perhaps by pulling a muscle in your back whilst digging in the garden.

This way you would give yourself the excuse not to carry out the unpleasant task.

You may be able to think of an instance in your own life where you may have created a similar scenario.

With a greater understanding of how you create your experiences you can change the ‘unpleasant task’ to a more pleasurable one and so avoid the need for an ‘illness’.

You can now see how an illness may not be related to one isolated circumstance but to several circumstances.

These circumstances can at first appear unrelated as they may be spread out over an extended period of time.

Through introspection, you can be aware of the process and the reasons involved, and make any necessary adjustments to your belief system.

Obviously everyone would wish to end illness, not only from their own bodies, but also from seeing illness in other people.

It is a common misconception to think that when you see other people’s illness you are viewing a display of other people’s beliefs, which have nothing to do with your own personal belief system.

However, what you see in others. is actually a reflection of your own belief system.

In the context of what you have learned so far, try to think of a circumstance where you do not think you are viewing your own beliefs in action.

You may recall from an earlier post that in the state of consciousness called ‘ego’, you create your ‘personal’ experiences.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to see someone else’s ‘personal’ experiences, just as while dreaming it is impossible to see someone else’s personal dream.

Remember that communications about space-time and emotions are filtered through created states of consciousness that are called personality and ego.

The communications that pass through the ego’s belief system become your waking state reality.

Therefore you can now see that everything in your personal reality is based solely on your belief system, which includes seeing illness in other people.

For some people this may create a dilemma.

For instance, if you are in a healing profession of any kind, whether you are a doctor, surgeon or alternative practitioner, you have a belief in illness.

You expect to see illness in other people; in fact your job depends on it.

The situation may occur that you wish to change your beliefs in order to eliminate illness from your experience, but by doing so, it may remove the need for your job.

In some instances, what is required is a new way of looking at your chosen career.

As an example, if you were an aroma-therapist who normally expected to have people coming to you with various illnesses to be treated, you could now expect healthy people to come to you because they wanted to experience the undoubted relaxation of an aromatherapy massage.

In this example your beliefs are now in harmony with your preferred experiences.

If, however, you happened to be a heart transplant surgeon but wanted to eliminate illness from your experience it would of course be impossible to expect healthy people to come to you for heart transplants.

To illustrate the point, it may be helpful to consider other occupations where people may have a similar dilemma.

There are no rights or wrongs to any career; it is all about personal choice as to what experiences you want in your life.

Because you create your own personal experiences based on your beliefs about what is possible, you will be able to change your expectations about illness in yourself and others.

You will be able to banish illness from your day-to-day experience.

This is quite a concept to take in, isn’t it?

Logically of course it would have to be this way, bearing in mind what you have learned so far.
