The Power of the Mind

God in Heavenletters™ tells us again and again that there is nothing we need. We think we need; therefore, we need.

I think about this a lot. I see in myself and in others how we make ourselves dependent upon one thing after another. If we are dependent upon something, we must think we need it.

I am thinking even of things like aspirin and sleeping pills, to say nothing of all the other dosages out there.

I think of things like complaining or getting angry. We must think we need to, or why would we?

I think of diets and all the new ones, each one better than the one before. There are so many. How many times have we heard that calories count and also that they don't? High protein, low protein, high carbohydrate, low carbohydrate, the standard balanced meal or food-combining, alkaline is healthy, and we must drink alkaline water – or what? Die?

Today fats aren't good for you, and tomorrow they are.

I for one am tired of following what someone else tells me to do. And yet I have bought it all at one time or another.  I still do. I would love to get away from that.

How many of us think: "If I eat bread, I will gain weight." With such thoughts we are locking in the idea that we will gain weight. It certainly seems to be a fact that bread equals weight gain, but is it a fact, or is it because we have believed it for so long that it becomes true?

What if we had the idea that we could eat anything we want when we want and believed this is the way to get thin? Would we get thin then? What was that about the faith of a mustard seed?

God says our thoughts are powerful. God says in at least one Heavenletter that Christ could heal instantly because he saw health, not illness.

Today an EKG will tell someone that he has heart trouble, and then he really does.

We have heard about mind over matter, yet we don't seem to claim mind over matter as our own.

In one of David Hawkins' books (I think it was Power vs. Force) he documents cases of multiple personalities. When a particular person is one personality, his body is loaded with severe allergies, for example. When he is another personality (the same body), he has no allergies whatsoever. One personality may have diabetes, and in another personality, the same body doesn't have even a touch of it. This is from one moment to the next. A different mind, a different body.

Sometimes the same body has three or more personalities, and each body tells a different story according to the mind set of the personality present. Talk about our creating our own reality!

If the thoughts and beliefs of multiple personalities can change the physical body, why can't our thoughts and beliefs do the same? Why can't we heal our bodies of any illness instantly?

Wow, our thoughts are powerful.

We even have the ability to heal the whole world.

God says we are in process of doing that right now.
