The educator is the person who makes the hard thing easy. I’ve always loved that line. Educators and healers are close cousins if not synonymous in their intent. The word “educate” comes from the Latin edu or educe, which is “to draw out something which is hidden or latent.” Whatever the definition, anyone who accomplishes this is going to be an accomplice in a healing. And yes, I like the label healer. Isn’t that the clear goal? Some say it has bad connotations. The only ones that should be scared of its connotations are those assuming the role with no real clue as to what might work when asked for help by another person. I would bet that those looking for healing find peace in the professional’s expectation! I use the term in this writing because it lets me discuss a huge, all-encompassing professional group that spans the bounds imposed by specific labels of discipline. One thing I love about this mind model is that it validates all the great healing being done, irrespective of the discipline. There are people getting great results. But up against a critical establishment, those results are sometimes hard to validate or explain. This model will validate many healing techniques.
Who are the healers? We are all healers in our own moment. And for anyone who honestly doesn’t have at least one memory of positively touching another person’s heart, I hope for the day you experience that joy. A lousy professional swimming in his or her own dysfunction, has healed at least one person. And the truest living Master has been faced with at least one human who defies all teachings and leaves the encounter more distant and hostile than ever. And any kind, fun-loving mother has probably healed enough souls to put her high up on the resulting spectrum of healing ability. Mostly the healer will be a guiding light who, with a solid understanding of the mind/body connection, draws people into a realm of perception where they find themselves freed of guilt and judgment, living peacefully with the experiences God deals them.
3: THE GENERAL PRACTICE OF LIFE
It is time to remove the specialists from the role of ultimate authority.
As we journey through this mind model, we will touch every aspect of life. This will be a reuniting of religion, medicine and our leadership. Early on these three broke apart as each discipline sought its own self-defending answers. This model gives the real answers. We will learn why discussing the three at once is so important. For now remember that years ago, religion, medicine and social leadership were one in the same. In those days a leader was known to be “connected” to the spiritual world or universal laws. Young upstarts, anxious to move into power, found they could command their own audience if they specialized in a specific area of human wonderment. Specialization does not require the practitioner to be connected. And a specialist lacking that connection will make it a personal mission to sell a crowd away from anything that includes that connection. By selling the short-term gains of processes that work against the universe’s laws, the specialists won the favor of the crowds, and what was once one was broken into pieces. Religion, medicine and social leadership, each over time, became more and more of man and driven by ego. Each became less and less of Him. Each specialty was able to conceal the fractured nature of its offerings for quite some time. But the ego of man. allowed to take the helm absent of heart and Spirit, will act so ridiculously, and in such a self-serving manner, that even the most die-hard supporters will recognize the true time for change. It looks like we have reached that time.
Religion, the way it is dispensed today, boasts a message of strength and peace to its people, but produces too much weakness, division and fear. The medical community says it exists to help us mend, but the actions of its ranks breed disease. Today’s government wants us to think that without it we have nothing, and then the government systematically takes everything. Luckily, these fractured specialists are so obsessive in their ways that they force their own demise. If they were more casual about it, they could go on indefinitely. But their appetite is so voracious that we eventually hear the sucking sound over anything they try to say in justification of their actions.
Here’s what the specialists have created for themselves. People are leaving religion and finding spirituality. In essence people have cut out the middle man and gone straight to God. A recent poll showed that some 55 percent of all sick people search out “alternative healing” techniques to restore their health. Motor voter registration and term limits are now being forced upon government even as politicians continue to stonewall in defiance of these concepts, and corruption charges are flying everywhere. It’s simple. The specialists said follow us for answers. They got their following. Through time the following heard increasingly counterproductive and self-serving answers from the leadership of each specialty. People are now reaping the long-term ills of applying the specialist’s great theories. Now the following is fragmented and on a search for new answers. And this fragmented following is more willing than ever to look sensibly at the bigger picture. It is time to remove the specialists from the role of ultimate authority. This is a very important time for everyone. The trends we adopt at this point will stay with us for a long time. The mind model we will look at together could give us the clearest vision as to how we should proceed from here as a society looking to find health and peace. In light of what we have reaped through years of specialization, never in mankind’s history has the concept of finding a well-connected general practitioner sounded like such a good idea.
4: THE MIND MODEL
It’s thought that creates our destiny. If things go wrong, it’s an act of mind.
We’re not going to waste any time getting to the mind model I’ve been talking about. The good stuff starts once we see how this thing works. It’s then that we can look at life through the model and see what’s really going on. We will share the specifics of what has caused cancer in individual lives. We will see what’s discovered when a chronic pain sufferer, one doctors have given up on, is healed through a process that properly applies this model.
If you haven’t caught on yet, we are going to confirm that the mind is the body’s controlling force. Hippocrates himself said that the body’s natural tendency is toward health. In other words, if a body is left alone, it will naturally continue to function in a way that is self-lubricating and self-correcting. Almost everyone agrees on this. But it’s right here that medicine takes an interesting turn. When this healthy tendency is interfered with, medicine by its own design looks outward at the physical for the interference. What huge numbers of people now understand is that the interference is an inside issue. It’s thought that creates our destiny. If things go wrong, it’s an act of mind.
Let’s look at this mind model and start to understand how the mind, body and spirit work together to affect health. I will be using graphics to help paint this mind model for you. Take some time to animate the graphics with your mind.
These are mechanisms of the mind I’m describing, and in reality there is action and movement. Experiencing this “mind flow” is your responsibility until I get the video version completed! Review this mind model slowly and repeatedly. This could be the most power-packed explanation for life happenings you have ever seen.
You may notice that as we learn the model, it starts out quite mechanical. As we master the mechanics, it grows very tool-like. We get good with the tool and a playful friendship develops. That grows into something purposeful. And quite suddenly, it brings us to God. This is a wonderful moment for the healer. Because of its progressive nature, you can ‘’plug into the model” at whatever level of connectedness you feel comfortable. This model can help you find peace as you start the healing process. It’s time; let’s start right now to look into this model.
From the graphics, you will notice we see the Conscious Mind as a shell that surrounds the Subconscious Mind. In this way the Conscious Mind actually shields the Subconscious Mind from the outside world. We will be starting from the outside and working our way in.
The Conscious Mind is the Rational, Analytical part of the mind. It’s the thinking, judging part of
