Perceptions, beliefs and healing the body

Some thoughts from my morning walk.

 

The majority of people believe and identify as a body mind. This is simply due to cultural conditioning.

 

If the time is taken to examine the experience of the body a little more, it becomes perfectly obvious, that all there is to the body is perceiving and sensing. We could further reduce this to knowing.

 

So with that pre-text, I will explore how that information may be able to heal what we call the body.

 

The scientist Bernado Kastrup gave a brilliant story about a patient who had a split personality disorder. I am not a scientist so excuse if my recitation of what he said is a little clumsy.

 

But, this person, one of their personalities believed that they were blind. Although her visual faculties all worked perfectly. When they became this personality she could not see at all. And some how they did some tests showing that she was not experiencing seeing, although her visual faculties work perfectly. Indeed, when the personality switched again, she could see perfectly fine.

 

This story to me illustrated the power of belief and identity and it's relationship to our experience.

 

I don't think it to be outside the realms of possibility, that disease, and sufferring in the body could be eradicated/lessoned as an experience, by identifying with our primary experience, which is what I would call knowing or you could use the word consciousness. Instead of identifying with a body mind which has a story, a history, some sob story narrative, memories associated which re-enforce the suffering. The experience of pure knowing, has no suffering, no limitation, it cannot be sick, it cannot die.

Now, can you think of fire that looks like fire, excluding CGI, animation or any modern technical projection, which isn't hot and doesn't burn paper?

It exists. There is a lot more mystery we don't know.

Can I break someone's perception again?

Sorry about Gregg Bradon cameo but the subject seems interesting.

 

 

The problem is, we tend to rely on the facts too much and, as in building a gigantic pyramid, if no conclusion is drawn after that we have no idea how things can be done. This is like what Einstein was saying...."We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
