I was just wondering if the stuff i have read about, and done, on the power of the mind is true, or just a coincidence.
i recently started a Josse Silva online meditation course, and in the first lesson, it had a story about a guy who had really bad cancer, and there was a myth about a drug that could cure it, and he wanted it really bad, and the doctor didnt want to give it to him, but in the end he did, and the next day, the cancer was gone!!!
Then a few weeks later, the patient heard that the drugs were not proved to fight cancer, which made him upset, and back in the hospital.
The doctor was really astounded, and wanted to try an experiment, so he lied to the patient and said that the drugs were effective and they only said they didnt work because they got a bad shipment, but he used the good ones on him before. Then he injected him with sterile water, with the patient thinking that it was the drug again, and miracurasly it was cured!!! So he left the hospital again in perfectly healthy.
A few more weeks later they reported that the drugs were a 100% faliure on cancer. This was too much for the patient, and he got the cancer again and died the next day
Im not actually sure this is true… and that brings me to my second point. I have recently had a cold, and when i get colds, i start breathing in through my mouth when i sleep, and when this happens, my lips go dry and red. This is kinda embarressing when you have to go round with lips that look like they have lipstick when your a guy. So when i woke up, i noticed they were red and said to myself “By the end of the day, my lips will be perfectly back to normal” (thinking of the cancer story), and being in a positive mind about it during the day.
Then by the end of the day, before i went to bed, they were perfectly normal (although when i woke up the next day they turned a little red again).
When you have it normally does it last most of the day and go away, or have you ever paid attention? If not, then I’d say it’s either a lucky break or some mind power.
I’m very good when it comes to my mind. I can tell myself a lie and believe it, forgetting the truth completely. Sometimes if I get my arm cut up by something, I can tell my mind it doesn’t hurt and it’ll help. Neat stuff, huh?
when i normally get it, it usually lasts for a few days… i got it on wednesday, now its friday, and its completely gone, and yesterday it was barely there. I usually do pay attention to it, cause sometimes it can get really bad… so always have this lip stuff with me now, and i put on the same amount as i normally do, so there shouldnt have been any difference due to treatment.
Neat Stuff!!! Thats Awsome!!! i’d love to be able to do that… although i do this thing were if im in pain or cold or something, i say to myself “i want to feel what pain feels like” and i concentrate on the pain, trying to feel it, and it normally goes away.
Im gonna try what u said though, cause that sounds awsome
I recently had sergery done on my neck, the took a large lump out of my throat (it wasnt cancerous thankfully), but before I went into surgery I meditated for about an hour. After the surgery I felt no pain what so ever, and the lump was the size of a golf ball.
I think the mind is strong, simmilar to the guy who was rock climbinmg and got stuck, he had to cut of his own arm… who could do that?
I believe the mind is extremely strong but the strength depends on your faith.
You can do amazing things but you truly have to believe in it. If any part of you has doubt then your results will be limited.
And it is near impossible (for 99.999% of people) to never have any doubts about what you’re doing. But if you can do it, people will probably say you’re a prophet and start a religion based around you because of the powers you will have.
Your will can be strong but that doesn’t mean that your mind can control things to this extent.
Some people go into surgery without anesthestic and they just use their mind to make the pain go away. I can usually do this with mild headaches. (I haven’t had a chance to try with a worse headache because i haven’t had one in a long time)
I know that it is not a coincidence because the pain goes within seconds.
Also this applies to LDs (have a look at my sig)
as for 1 and 2
i highly, highly doubt this is true and i doubt that it is possible. Why haven’t the media got a hold of this story and spread it around?
it could have been the power of your mind but it also could have been a coincidence.
Imagine Jesus had full control over his mind, and he was able to do virtually anything. Imagine your mind is so evolved you could see past this reality, like Neo in the Matrix.
Perhaps when Jesus said you could move mountains, it was literal. Maybe if someone had pure faith, they could.
Consider all we humans do, and we only use about 10-15% of our brain according to scientists, right? What if we used 100%?
Perhaps Jesus felt like he was always in a lucid dream, able to change reality as he felt.
State of mind influence your body well being- its known.Stressed people get sick easily etc.
Sometimes you need extreme motivation to heal yourself and maybe sometimes such conditions are needed to more complex things(getting rid of cancer)
But of course its possibile,there are allready great reports about bio feedback which is nothing more but helping you realizing how greatly you can influence your body with your mind.
Believe it,try it and know it-ppl like Jesus KNEW it,no need to believe in something you know- then you do what you want.
What you believe is what you see and the way you think about things changes them for you.
I can stop pain and stuff too by telling myself it doesn’t hurt.
Same with the cold, I rarely ever get as cold as other people do. Other people will say to me, “It’s so cold outside”, and I’ll say, “If you ignore the cold it goes away”. I always get blank stares though.
Thanks for all of this guys,
I also do that with the cold sometimes but its hard to do…
And by the way… ive been sick lately and have had big headaches and sick in the stomach, and ive been focusing on it, and telling it that its not there, and that normally makes it go away which is cool
Thanks again,

Actually i thought about the same thing yesterday night after spending some time at near death experiences web page. There was a statment that afterlife might look similar to what we see and experience in dreams.
In dreams everything is possible. In LD-s, when you have full faith that what you say, will happen, it will happen (i have done it).
We, humans, develop from down to up. We are bound by our physical body and those boundaries hinder our mind to believe that everything is possible. So we need to practice the power of mind to be more and more able to overcome those obstackles and fears that our physical body sets up.
Jesus, as God in flesh, was not bound with physical body in the beginning. He was spirit who was capable of doing everything we can do in our LD-s (if we believe that we can do), and even more. So when He came into flesh, He still had knowledge of those powers what pure spirit can do, and this is why He was sure that we can even move mountains if we have enough faith. That’s why i think that those miracle stories in Gospels are not just made up (at least many of them are not IMO), but real happenings.
That’s why i believe practicing those powers in LD-s, can encourage us more to practice those things in RL too. At least those things that are vital to us (like overcoming sicknesses, fears, etc).
My dad had skin cancer. The doctor told him he would have to have it removed, and my dad declined. The doctor told him it would get worse and eventually spread leading anywhere up to death. My dad simply told him it would go away. The doctor looked at him like he was insane, and told him it wouldnt. My dad repeated that it would go away, and left the doctors.
Most probably. There have been reported cases of cancer effects wearing off until the disease had simply disappeared. I say: should you get a cancer yourself, don’t count on that, do the regular treatment. What science can’t explain (so far), science can’t tell how to use properly.
That or Placebo effect—you had so high a faith that it helped healing you.
Of course people have done/seen/reported stuff like that in all ways possible. I know I cure faster if I have faith in that and don’t get all stressed up with the disease. I think it’s not magic, but Placebo effect—the less stressed and worried your body is, the less vulnerable it gets, right? And when you’re calm and faithful, you do take your time to reason on doing stuff, and therefore you are more prudent. And science already told us that placebo somehow works, right? For me, faith is more than enough a placebo.
Hmm I tried reading up on this, cause I heard we used even less, and from what I understand, we do use all of our brain, just not at the same time. But if you take your brain and measure the activity during a longer period, all the parts of your brain have been used.
However, I do believe there is a lot of room for improvement, because even if you are using all the parts, it doesn’t have to mean that your parts are as developed as they could be. I believe that there is no limit to our brain, our capacity is unlimited and infinite, and how can you put a number or a percentage on something that is constantly changing?
Mind over matter can do a lot, for sure, like stopping hiccups or from feeling as cold as you would otherwise, etc. Quite often there are things I know I will do, even if they are quite unlikely, and I believe it is my certainty of these things happening that makes them happen. Likewise, when I am uncertain, the outcome is unpredictable (and often unfortunate, oh no!).
Of course, for all I know this could simply be that it’s just an instinctive reaction of mine to the probability of me succeeding in whatever it is - I think that’s probably more likely than anything - but still, it’s nice to think that your belief in itself could change the outcome. Maybe it does! After all, if you feel confident and assured of yourself, your manner will change and the way people react to you will be different than if you act uncertain.
(although when i woke up the next day they turned a little red again).
