knee is perfectly pain free and that it represents a probable reality for the ailing opposite knee. In
the healthy areas, your beliefs are working for you.
A few minutes a day spent in sending positive messages to the body can produce dramatic
results. Verbal suggestions are translated into inner sounds that echo the body's fundamental light
and sound substance. From Seth comes the most healthful exercise:
"A correctly utilized five-minute period of time can be of great benefit. In this period,
concentrate on the fact that the point of power is now. Feel and dwell upon the certainty that your
emotional, spiritual and psychic abilities are focused through the flesh, and for five minutes only
direct all your attention toward what you want.
"Use all of your energy and attention. Then forget about it. Do not check to see how well it
is working. Behave physically, then, at least once a day in a way that shows you have faith in what
you are doing. The act can be a very simple one. In health terms, it involves conducting yourself
once a day as though you were not sick in whatever way given you. The belief in the present,
reinforced for five minutes a day, plus such a physical action, will sometimes bring awesome
results." (NOPR #657 4/18/73)
Other Suggestions
Many entities, for reasons of their own, choose a catastrophic or torturous illness and death.
Such processes should not be deemed a failure of the personality or the entity but must be respected
as adjacent colors in the rainbow spectrum of challenges. We mustn't use physical health as the
litmus test of spiritual enlightenment. Often in an illness deemed irreversible or terminal, there
comes a point where the bearer changes his intent from creating a miracle cure to yielding to his
limitations or to the dying process. This seemingly spiritually incorrect loss of hope is the hardest
time for all involved, since it never seems to come at the "right" moment. Yet this transition must
be ushered in uncritically, supported with love and, even amidst great sorrow, accorded the faith
that, by whatever means chosen, everything will be all right.
Previously I mentioned Seth's appreciation of our difficulties in graduating from
conventional beliefs about illness to a faith in new ways of creating healing realities. Seth
acknowledged that for many of us, a strong belief in doctors and healers can make us well – at least
well enough to take the next step in changing our beliefs.
In making that transition, try not to fragment your care among too many practitioners. If
you feel you must continue to see multiple specialists and healers, make sure they each are aware of
each other's input and of you as a whole. Psychotherapists and alternative healers are more likely to
contextualize physical illness in cognitive and holistic therapies than medical doctors and other
Western practitioners are to validate psychological or dreambody factors in physical conditions.
Often health professionals, even alternative practitioners, however well-meaning, effectively inhibit
healing by promoting their own limiting beliefs about medicines, vitamins, prevention (which
deconstructs into “fear”), “health” foods, and “natural” remedies. Ultimately creating health
depends on enacting the inner-directed rituals – diet, exercise, meditation, medication – which best
support our beliefs in well-being and which increase our vitality on a day-to-day basis.
Pay close attention to dreams. They will always corroborate body messages. Using the
technique of dream incubation, you can ask for a dream to answer questions posed to the body.
This is a form of dialoguing with the symptom in the dream state. Dream psychologist Jeremy
Taylor maintains that all dreams come in the service of wholeness and healing and every dream, on
