Who Falls Sick and Who Remains Healthy?

Attitude on Healing


Two people are exposed to the same virus. One gets a full blown version of the virus, the other remains healthy. Why? Someone is given a diagnosis of a terminal condition and yet survives many years later. How does this happen?

Studies now report that positive or negative emotional traits influence a persons’ susceptibility to infection. People in studies who report positive emotions show greater resistance to objectively verified colds. In a database created by IONS of 3,500 spontaneous remissions, the attitude change of the patient was cited as a key element in their remission.

OK, so maybe that is not really new information to many people. But, what about once you do get a cold? How long do you think it should take to get over it and how difficult is it for the body to heal?

Deirdre Davis Brigham, a psychotherapist, noted a case of one of her patients with multiple personality disorder. Personality number one had a case of the flu with all its attending symptoms, difficulty in breathing, congested chest, running nose, and laryngitis. When personality number two came out all the symptoms disappeared in just about six seconds. No congestion, no running nose, no symptoms of the flu. Same body, two different beliefs.

Another woman, admitted to a hospital for diabetes, baffled her physicians by showing no symptoms of the disorder at times when one personality, who was not diabetic, was dominant.

If one changes their mind, it affects their body and their universe. A sudden reversal in a disease (what we might call a “miracle”) comes from a deep change of mind. Meditation has been shown in one study to produce significant increases in left-sided anterior brain activity, which is associated with positive emotional states.

Ascension Attitudes are called Attitudes because an attitude is a way of looking at the world. They are not called Ascension Beliefs because there is no need to believe in the Ascension Attitudes for them to work. One does not need to believe that a carrot seed planted in the ground and properly tended will grow a carrot. Belief is not required. Belief is a powerful force which can be quite useful or destructive, depending on how it is applied, but it is not required to change the nature of our lives. Carrot seeds grow carrots. The seed thoughts of the Ascension Attitudes grow a new way of looking at and living life.”

Ascension Attitudes are 3 pronged mechanical techniques that work simultaneously at the level of the heart, mind, and body. The first four Ascension Attitudes deal with the stress of the modern world. These keys open new pathways to improve life at all levels. These Ascension Attitudes are taught in classes world-wide. They are never written in a book, always taught in person to fully activate the Attitudes and begin the physical integration.
