About doctors and your own power of healing
Your inner life is being translated into corporeal reality. As you perceive it and RELATE to it, you begin to question first its origin and then its meaning.
This leads you back into yourself and to a recognition of your own abilities. What you now create unconsciously your species WILL create consciously. The infinite abilities of consciousness become individualized, focused into a particular reality which then becomes expanded. Your own temporal creations add to the abilities WITH WHICH you made them. You learn through your creations. Mind, as physically directed, utilizes the greatest sources of power and energy along with unlimited aspects of creativity, so that each physical day is indeed absolutely unique. You can not expect any portion of your environment to remain static, therefore, and the condition of your body is constantly in a state of flux and change.

The witch doctor, while initiating natural forces on BEHALF OF his patient, who seemed momentarily unable to do so, was then returning the patient to the source of himself and reviving his own buried sense of power. THAT is the source of physical life, the sense of power and action.
Your beliefs then are highly important in the way in which you handle the power of personal action.
The use of your private energy brings you into intimate relationship with your own source of power. Healing involves great natural aggressive thrusts of energy, growth, and the focus of vitality. The more powerLESS you feel, the less ABLE you are to utilize your own healing abilities. You are then forced to project these outward upon a physician, a healer, or any outside agency. If your own BELIEF in the physician “works” and you are cured of symptoms, you are physically relieved, and yet your own belief in yourself may be further infringed upon. If you are making no effective efforts to handle your own problems, then the symptoms will simply reappear in a new fashion and the same process will be reinitiated. You may lose faith in your doctor while still retaining confidence in doctors as a whole and run from one to another.
But the body has its own integrity, and illness is often simply a natural sign of imbalance, a physical message to which you are to listen and make inner adjustments accordingly.
When these realignments are always made from the outside, the body’s innate coherence becomes jeopardized, and its intimate relationship with mind confused. More, its natural healing powers are DULLED. The built-in initiating triggers of reactions that are meant to follow inner stimuli are activated instead by “exterior” means.
The individual’s faith is transferred more and more to an outside agency. This usually means that no time is allowed for necessary inner dialogues of self questioning, and the self-healing that might otherwise occur is brought about through BELIEF in another. This can only go on for so long, however.
I am dealing here mainly with Western culture. In some other civilizations, and particularly in the past as you think of it, witch doctors operated within a context of nature accepted by all. The witch doctor, while initiating natural forces on BEHALF OF his patient, who seemed momentarily unable to do so, was then returning the patient to the source of himself and reviving his own buried sense of power. THAT is the source of physical life, the sense of power and action. When a man or a woman feels powerless, as you think of it, he or she will die.
The point of power is in the present, when your nonphysical self merges with corporeal reality. The recognition of that fact alone can revitalize your life.
In your terms, you are in a state of evolution as a species. Part of this experience includes a natural fascination with exterior events. You are developing properties of consciousness that are in their own way uniquely your own, as your environment is. A strong focus is a necessary counterpart, since you are involved in a learning process in which all elements inherent in the situation will be explored.
Throughout this venture however you are, in the dream state, always kept in touch with the realities from which your physical experience springs. As you understand time, you will eventually be able to merge your inner comprehension with your physical self and form your world on a conscious basis. Such manuscripts as mine are meant to help you do precisely that.
