Miracles

It is my personal view that the reason we call things that we don't understand "miracles" is because we are trying to understand them within a very limited framework. This framework is that of our beliefs which have been based largely on scientific inquiry and also exclusively on the use of our intellect or rational mind.

By giving the mind and our thoughts such an eminent position in our lives we have left out, in my view, the most important way of "knowing" and that is the knowledge that is conveyed through our emotional hearts (See "Intelligent Emotions").

The power that lives in the heart is the energy of Love. Some call this "Spirit". This, in my view, is the essence of the human being. How often do you read about the emotional heart, or love, or spirit in, for instance, psychotherapy or psychoanalytic textbooks? Almost never! It's like psychoanalysis and psychotherapies have taken the heart out of the human being. Another way of saying this is that psychotherapy, and other mind oriented therapies have taken the human being out of the human being. How can anyone help heal a human being when, as one is trying to do so, one is at the same time ignoring who they really are?

It has been my experience that when you bring the energy of love, the energy of the heart, the spirit, and therefore the human essence, back into the physical body, simply by recognising who and where they truly are that's when the individual starts to reawaken a joy for living. That's when healing occurs spontaneously. That's when, what we call miracles, happen. But then it's no longer a miracle, it's really just about being fully alive and present in one's physical body.

It is, in my view, only when this energy of love (or the spirit) can live fully, and in its full splendour, in that physical body, that any true healing can occur. You know this; I'm sure from your own personal experience. Don't you feel most alive, healthy, at peace, and wanting to be alive, when you are engaged in something that you truly love and which awakens your heart? For instance painting, listening to music, being creative, or being in nature?

Psychosomatic illness, and any other illness, in my view is the result of the fact that the energy of the human heart, and therefore the human being who is represented by that energy is not fully in that physical body. What does it mean to not be fully within one's own body? Well it means that that person is not fully in charge of the operation of that body and the body is therefore one step away from dying.

Imagine trying to drive your car while you are trying to open the door to get out. The car without the driver is only going to crash! The illness any person has is just a sign of that state of dying. Unless that person's essence is acknowledged and reawakened they will not heal, they will die instead. In other words it is necessary to put the driver back into the driver's seat!

So it was with this new awareness that I gave up all of my traditional training in psychiatry and my professional medical practice (which included: psychoanalysis, psychopharmacology, interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, imagery work, psychosynthesis, and EMDR- "Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing") over several years ago. I gave up over 25 years of professional training and a very good income because it just wasn't working for me or my clients.

In my view it also doesn't work for other therapists either but I think they prefer not to see this for themselves. I feel that they are too afraid to recognize the truth. It would mean them having to question everything they have learned and believe. This is not an easy task for those weak at heart. So they just go on pretending that what they are doing is helping someone.

Imagine spending say 20 years trying to treat someone as some psychoanalysts do. Does this sound like an effective form of treatment to you? Well many psychoanalysts would say that that's the best that can be done. Well if I was one of their clients, and I was one once for 5 long years during my training, I would say that that is absolutely unacceptable.

I now see "all" illness as "psychosomatic". I will try to explain what I mean. Generally the term "psychosomatic" is used to refer to an illness with physical symptoms in which no physical cause can be found. In my view I would expand the definition to: "psychosomatic" = all illnesses, whether or not a physical cause can be found.

In other words, even illnesses with an apparent physical cause are, in my view, caused by our beliefs about that illness and by our emotionally traumatic life history.

That life history is stored in what is called the energy field of that individual and it causes a disruption in the natural state of that field. When that field is in it's natural, and what I call its Divine Holographic Energy Field (DHEF) state, that individual is completely healthy, completely in that body and completely in charge of it. When the field is disrupted then the individual becomes ill.

That is because the negative traumatic life history that is stored in the field of that individual disrupts the operation of the natural DHEF, (see "Do You Love Your Body?") thereby starts to take over the functioning of that physical body, and thereby forces out the Divine Being that was meant to be in charge of that body.

When this happens that's when illness and death happens. In other words, one's life history of trauma, which is stored in the energy field of that individual forces the "spirit" or "essence" or "energy" of that person out of their own body. It essentially forces out the "energy of life" itself from the body.

Bringing back the Divine Being and completely eliminating the negative life history from their energy field (which is totally possible now) is the only way, in my view, to help an individual stay in their body and spontaneously heal it. This is what a new tool called the Mind Resonance Process? is designed to do. As long as scientific enquiry ignores the divine it will never, in my view, achieve true healing or even true knowledge.

One final word. The "Divine" is in all of us. In fact, it "is" us! It is Life itself! We don't need to rely on religion or an external god to help create the miracle. We can do that all by ourselves because we are that miracle.
