Yesterday I described a common example of manifesting. Today I’m going to give you an uncommon one that occurred to me a few weeks ago. After I’d been in Pennsylvania a couple weeks I discovered a local restaurant that serves bagels and pizza and on Tuesday night they’re the only restaurant in town that serves [...]

Manifesting is using thought to manipulate or create reality or matter. Consider the chair you’re sitting on. At one point it was a concept in a designer’s mind. It was a thought only. She then drew the chair and gave the design to a manufacturer who built it. It was picked up by someone who [...]

in New Thought

The past month I’ve spent most of my time reading books on New Thought. Of all the philosophies I’ve encountered, New Thought makes the most sense and holds the greatest promise, so I’ve chosen to believe it and test it. New Thought teaches that our thoughts create our reality. I’ve had trouble in the past [...]

In other words, god experiencing life through and as each of us. Before I dropped off to sleep last night I was thinking about my cat Tiny who died a couple years [...]

This book is really about the relationship between the American medical establishment and Americans.

They see the closed mind and dogmatism and are grateful that they have not been so influenced, grateful for their independence of thought. But when it comes to health, illness, [...]

I (sometimes) enjoy participating in discussion boards related to health and wellness. I love sharing things I’ve learned to help people recover from their diseases. I don’t always go about it the best way. I have my own hangups. I have the temerity to suggest that people are usually responsible for their illnesses. It’s akin [...]

Germs: A Natural Hygiene Perspective

by Joanne on December 6, 2008

in Health and Illness

Those who preach fear of germs today are the mental offspring of those who have preached fear of God, devil, hell, and heaven in the past. They do not know that the fear which they inculcate is more to be dreaded than the object of their warning. Fear does a thousand times more harm than [...]
