"On The Back of A Giant"

To believe- No justifications are needed. But how does one analyze the ideal of one belief. Above all others, manifested through attention and intention. Theories, laws, rules, these are all realm of the physical and thus tangible. They are not real to us all. Belief is the ideal of the metaphysical. A miracle unexplained. The happenings of certain miracles can be explained, spontaneous healing refers to the body's repairing itself or ridding itself of disease without traditional medical interventions like surgery or drugs. Latest science now changes this dichotomy into a miracle supported by knowledge.

I met a man this weekend who was diagnosed with type one diabetes at the age of twelve. His pancreas was not producing the required insulin his body needed. He tells me, "I can not really explain it, but I just knew I was going to have it [diabetes]. Next check up his pancreas was working normally and never since has he had any symptoms of this disease. He "just knew". How is anything known that solidly. Beyond words-strictly what? I have no idea. I am going to share a story about Dean out of the book Evolve your Brain by Dr. Joe Dispenza.

"When I first saw Dean sitting in my waiting room, he smiled and winded at me. On his face he had two tumors the size of very large lemons. One was under his chin on the right side, and the other growth was on his forehead on the left side. During my examination, Dean explained that he had leukemia. I asked him what medications and therapies he used to keep the disease under control. 'None, never' he replied. I continued my examination, trying to focus on what I was doing but wanting to ask him dozens of questions. I had healed from an injury, but this was clearly different. Leukemia , especially untreated acute myelogenous leukemia was a debilitating and painful disease. I was not an injury the body could simply heal over time, like a broken bone.
The doctors who diagnosed Dean had given him six months to live. Right then, Dean said, he had made himself a promise to see his son graduate from high school. That pivotal moment had occurred 25 years earlier...I finally had to ask, 'How did you do it? You should have been dead 24 years ago, but with no medications, no surgeries, no therapies, you are still alive. What's the secret? Dean smiled broadly, leaned across the examining bench to bring his face close to mine, pointed to his forehead, and said, 'You just have to make up your mind!'.

These stories are few and far between perhaps, the death rate for Leukemia is high and living that kind of life tends to be fragmented. Says who? You and I do, living our lives. "Our thoughts matter, our thoughts literary become matter." (Dispenza) I am fascinated by these results felt in these stories or pathways. What makes their choice so much more powerful then mine. How? They have a means which is the "why". How much of life, unhappiness, red tape, guilt, that all of it, i just take for granted. A victim to life is no way to live. So here is to the great unknown-the power that made the body is the power that heals the body. My journey to change has begun with these thoughts. New neural plasticity. No long addicted to brain chemistry of a repeating form of self. Mental rehearsal of who I want to be-life I am living in my mind is the same as life living in the sensuous participatory world. I can't fail at this, every thought, every trial is a new evolution of being. And that is comforting.
