It has to be that way, or our power as the SON of God would be denied. NO ONE cures or can cure ANYONE else, the ONLY one who can cure YOU is YOU. Now you may say but plenty of people were reported as cured in the presence of Jesus and even this well meaning doctor, how do you explain that? People are cured in the presence of someone who is clear like Jesus or , because somewhere in THEIR OWN mind THEY make a choice to heal. It literally has NOTHING to do with Jesus or , they are simply a reminder that another choice could be made, a choice for health instead of sickness. The choice itself is not an ego choice, but a choice of the decision maker in the mind of the Son. But honestly don't believe a thing I have said go get a copy of the " A Course in Miralces " or " Loving What Is " and educate yourself.

Yet that will NOT stop the criminally insane person from killing the next person they meet. The ONLY thing that will stop that in my experience is a change in their THINKING. The ONLY reason a criminally insane person (or anyone) kills is because they BELIEVE an unquestioned thought. Undo the thinking and the criminally insane person now becomes a sane person. Just your seeing the love in them WILL NOT produce any change (see previous post today). Have a gorgeous day " There's nothing between you and love but unquestioned concepts.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 yeah mary, as i said later on in the same message, when my own thoughts/perception changes, i see that there is no problem with the behaviour of others, i look out and see love in all behaviours/reality. wrote: > > " The only thing that will change the behaviour of a criminally > > insane person is if they stop believing their OWN thoughts.

If it was that easy to save people I think Jesus would have completed the job 2,000 years ago. Have a wonderful day " There's nothing between you and love but unquestioned concepts.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 OK, so it's an urban myth...I hope everyone can pardon my naiveté... I'm new to all this stuff. That anyone else is sick, and could be, or needs to be cured, is only our perception, right ? I'm getting myself confused now... where do you draw the line between reality and perception of reality ? Maybe sick people don't exist at all... maybe nothing exists !! If I experience sickness, how can I choose to be healed ? I have nne on's book on my bookshelf and started reading it years ago - I must get back into it - it's absolutely fascinating. Don't know why I didn't finish reading it - it kind of blew my mind so I had to go off and try and digest it (for ten years) Leonie Re: Something I found interesting - off topic > > > > Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a > complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever seeing > any of them.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Leonie, I think you are doing quite well at understanding. I don't know which nne on book you are speaking about, but my opinion is that her writings are a good way to begin to think in " Course In Miracles " or Non-Dual terms.
