Systems of Belief

One of the most challenging issues I deal with on a daily basis in working with people, and their health and nutrition, is the dreaded “belief system”. Now I know that belief systems are like a certain part of our backside anatomy, we all have one and they all stink. Having said that, I know that there are things that we can do to minimize the stink. Follow me for a minute.

I have a client who has a pet that has responded better to the therapy that I recommended than she has, and she even knows why. She began giving the enzymes and minerals to her pets when she first came to see me because she was skeptical, and even though the pet has had nothing short of a miraculous recovery, my client is still having limited success. You see the animal has no belief system to get in the way. Read the last line again, because it's real important. Somewhere in the back of my client's mind there is a program running that says “this won't really work”, where as the pet's body simply responds to being fed, and it's quality of life increases because we are putting much needed energy into the system. My client has, what all of us have to some degree, a preconceived idea of what the world is and what happens in it. But are we are seeing it through rosy colored glasses?

It has been scientifically proven that our brain edits as much as 50% of the information coming to it from the visual cortex. And what it is using to do the editing is your experiences. All the traumas from birth to the present, the ones you remember, and the ones you don't, are always running in the background. Every time something happens in the outer world that is similar, that old loop or program is reactivated. This conditioned response is how most of humanity operates on a daily basis.

Another example, I have a close friend that started doing everything with me when I first began studying about health, and we have had almost identical results. We have both rebuilt our fallen arches with mineral therapy, solved chronic digestive issues using enzymes, no more back/joint pain thanks to proteolytic enzymes, got our thyroids functioning again with hormone therapy, the list goes on. We both knew we were getting better, so that became our reality. As a side note her dog has is experiencing great benefits too, at almost 17, this dog is jumping into the car again, something it has not done in years.

Anyway the point is - the closer we come to an understanding that the world is what we make it, the closer we get to reality. Molecules under a dark field microscope change from particles to waves depending on whether or not we are looking at them so the jury has given it's verdict, thoughts become things. We create every minute, so if we can learn to look at things as they are rather than what they appear to be, have a glimpse behind the curtain, if you will, it can only make a difference for the better in our lives.
