"Healing and Recovery" by David Hawkins…he is writing about health.
"We also have to look at how experience is actually experienced. The body itself is insentient, as curious as that may seem. It has no capacity to experience itself. The next level comes through sensations, from the senses of the body, so we do not experience the body; instead, we experience the sensations of the body. Senses themselves have no innate capacity to experience themselves. They are experienced in mind. The sense report what is going on with the body, so we are several levels removed. Mind itself is unable to experience its own experience. It has to be in a greater, larger energy field than itself, and in this case, it is the energy field of consciousness. Because of consciousness, we are aware of what is going on in mind. Mind then tells us via the senses what is going on in the body. We can see that perception is several levels removed from the physical body. Consciousness itself requires something greater than itself, called awareness. Awareness allows us to know what is going on in consciousness and reports what is happening within mind. Mind in turn reports what is happening about the body via the senses."
"That which we call 'myself' is many levels removed from the physical body. It is necessary to understand that fact because we then see that the mind has power over the body. We can appreciate the physics of the energy fields of the 400s, and see that, just by their sheer power, they are greater than the energy field of the physical body. The physical body (calibration level 200) does what the mind tells it to do. Therefore, if the mind says, "I have this disease," the body complies."
"We can thus see the importance of not buying into programs, all of which are really limitations of the truth. We can see the importance of consciously canceling the limiting programs and instead saying something that is the truth. The truth is, "I am an infinite being not subject to that." So, when people hear something such as "Eggs are full of cholesterol, and cholesterol gives you heart disease," they accept the thought as the truth and buy into the belief system that the cholesterol in eggs will raise their blood cholesterol. Their bodies simply agree and raise the blood cholesterol when eggs are eaten."
"One time I had a very high cholesterol level and began to cancel the belief system. I repeatedly said, "I am an infinite being; I am not subject to that. I am only subject to what I hold in mind. This does not apply to me, and I hereby cancel it and refuse it." If the mind can program you with a negative belief system, it can also reverse itself, can it not? Therefore, we begin telling ourselves that the belief system has no effect on us, that it is only a belief system, and that we do not have to buy into it or go into agreement with it."
"When we go into agreement with a belief system, we give it the power of the collective energy of that belief. When we refuse it, we then release ourselves from the collective energy of the belief system and count ourselves out. One attitude is to not buy into agreement with negative belief systems that have to do with our health. This is very important when it comes to epidemic suggestions and hysteria. The programming that comes in is aided and abetted by an emotional program."
"Much is still heard about AIDS, for example, which is accompanied by constant repetition in the media that play on fear – Fear about this, anger about that, and of course, the guilt about this. What better disease to bring up all of man's feelings of sinfulness and guilt, especially about ones sexuality, which is so common in all cultures, not just ours. Of course, it then takes on a negative energy when the coin is turned over and becomes the lowest. What better area in which to create an epidemic to ensure the belief in it? There is the unconscious guilt, not to mention the conscious guilt about one's sexuality, the sadness about it, the grief over it, and the fear about the disease itself. All this contributes to setting the stage for a mental belief system in an energy field of 400s. There is also the negative energy field of fear, which is the energy field of 100s, plus the guilt of calibration of level 30. This is the exact set-up for disease because the mind chooses that with which it is impressed and uses that as a form of expression."
"In the case of the cholesterol experiment I cancelled the thought every time it came up. After a short time, the cholesterol level decreased, and now I can eat three eggs for breakfast every morning, lots of cheese, even other high cholesterol foods, yet my cholesterol is low and sometimes even below normal for my age."
"The body will do exactly as the mind believes, but there is a credibility problem here. The persons ask, "How could just my belief in that make it happen within my life?" It is due to the nature of the unconscious, which creates the opportunity for that to occur. There is the person who is 'accident prone' because that belief has taken hold in their mind. Unconsciously, the person just manages to get their body in the right place at the right time in order to get hit by the fender of a car, or slip down stairs, or get hit on the head. There is no need to worry about it because the mind will find a way. People just slip into a sort of hypnotic trance and expose themselves to the correct opportunities to make that program manifest in their lives (e.g., extreme sports, climbing Mt. Everest, etc)."
"There have been many experiements with a cold virus, for instance, in which one hundred volunteer subjects were exposed to very heavy doses of a cold virus. Interestingly, not everyone ended up with a cold, just a certain percentage. In other words, if the power were in the virus itself rather than within unconsciousness, all one hundred would have gotten a cold because the virus is so potent. What happens is that maybe only sixty-five percent will get it because one-third of the subjects do not believe in it. There is sufficient doubt within the mind, along with insufficient unconscious guilt. It is not acceptable to the person to express it in that form, so nothing is universal." David Hawkins
How very interesting to know that the mind is more powerful than the body, and that which is held in the mind is manifested in the body. Deepak Chopra has been saying this as well. Yet we continue to deal and focus on the body as the problem.
What I also love, is the mind that can be programmed, can then be unprogrammed, by programming it to know this.
Also the body calibrates at 200, the mind at around 400…which is why it can overpower and control the body, but the Spirit is at 500, which can overpower the mind.
What I witnessed and fully grasped was the mind's powerfulness…and then the power of my Spirit, which is of no comparison.
It was the awareness of the Spirit, of consciousness that could see the mind and its strength, even when it was fully enmeshed in the negative fields of guilt, shame and fear, and how it held my body and my life prisoner…
I had to cancel out so many beliefs of mind and intellect and reason and replace them with knows of Spirit.
What a process and what a brilliant intricate dance, where no one is of greater power or less than the next. We are all held into place by the same system of calibrations and beliefs.
The epic struggle between, mind, body and Spirit.
