This title was used by another blogger: How Your Brain Keeps You Believing Crap That Isn’t True and I loved it and shared his blog on my healing room Facebook page immediately as confirmation of my theory that paralysis isn’t real nor any other sickness. Tony Myers also teaches this after being healed instantly of ALS {Lou Gherig’s Disease) in 2012. The truth is God has healed mankind through Jesus and no disease is real. That being established by 1 Peter 2:24 and Galatians 3:13, the church questions why people still get sick, professing that God only sometimes heals. The truth is still, we were healed, no matter what you see, just like we are all forgiven, for whosoever will believe. Our belief in sickness kills us because our brain is able to cause malfunctions that are false. We have not learned to not trust our bodies and we need to understand this to live well.
There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don’t know.~ Bob Nease
Bob Nease said this very profound thing in his blog mentioned above. I have heard myself say this before… it’s humbling to admit that there are things we don’t know. I’ve joked with my husband that the difference between men and women is women know there are things they don’t know; this acknowledgement makes women smarter than men. If you don’t know that you don’t know then how can you find out? Just admitting that God knows everything and we can learn more takes humility. Having said that… Nease says
Something similar can be said about our beliefs. There are “true truths”–things we believe are true and genuinely are. But many other times, we’re tricked by false truths–things we think are true but aren’t.
The things we believe to be true, whether good or bad, are for a reason. Nease says..
The Mental Shortcut You’re Constantly Making
The effect of processing fluency on how we see the world is very robust–possibly alarmingly so. The greater something’s “fluency,” the more we tend to like it, the less risky we judge it, the more popular and prevalent we believe it is, and the easier we think it is to do.
For example, if most people believed sickness was old thinking and no longer existed, we would find that easier to believe that. Truth is hard to believe if hardly anyone believes it. If we were on an island alone for 10 years, without TV and watching people get sick, and age, we would probably stay well and live no matter what we ate or how little we ate, unless we kept talking ourselves into dying. Paralysis is a bodily occurrence from the shock of trauma that can be reversed if it is believed that it will. If symptoms occur in our bodies that we think are life threatening or permanent, they will be. Think healed, sickness does’t exist, your body and brain are fine. Relax and let go of the symptoms. Do not fear them, just remember, it’s imaginary. Do people die from imaginary things? If they believe it’s life threatening, they can, yes. Knowing the truth sets you free. Remind yourself that it’s not real. It will dissipate. Practice normal behavior, expect improvement, plan for improvement look for improvement.
Good word, Lynn.
