The day you stop thinking about what you can’t do is the day you’ll be capable of creating what some people call miracles.
Placebos have been proving this for as long as people have believed in them. There’s umpteen stories online about their effect. However, today, I’ll share a story that’s closer to home.
There’s a man who lived just outside the village where I grew up, he had what you call the gout, it was so bad, he couldn’t walk without the aid of crutches, that was until Saturday night arrived and he hobbled down the road to the local bar where he would consume as much drink as possible before the barman called time and asked everyone to leave. The man would wake up at home the next morning with a throbbing hangover, painful gout, and no crutches. The beer had numbed the mind against the pain, so he was able to walk home without the need of the crutches. Now, I’m not saying anyone with debilitating pain should become an alcoholic, that’s not going to help in the long-term, however, there must be a way of tapping into the subconscious mind and using its power to heal what people believe can’t be healed.
If you examine the gout story, you know it’s not about being more intelligent. If anything, it’s the opposite because anyone who’s interacted with drunken people knows beer doesn’t improve someone’s intelligence. So, if you can remove all sense of intelligence and just picture what you want to accomplish, your subconscious mind makes it happen. It sounds like a good plan, however, contrary to popular opinion, most people are incapable of reaching that level of stupidity, they have that sense of self that believes they have control over their own bodies.
This doesn’t mean you should be thinking you’re stupid and healthy. It’s about not thinking at all and just focusing on the image of the person you want to become. If you see that image clearly enough, your subconscious mind will guide you on your journey to becoming that person.
As you’re aware we’re talking about meditation, if you’ve never done it before, it’s going to take time to learn and master the technique, only when you’ve mastered it will you start to feel the improvements you want to see because until then your intelligence will be getting in the way.
I’ll leave you with one final thought.
From one tiny egg did you grow an entire human being. Now tell me what you can’t do?
