Health, Proof, and the Truth
The source of cancer doesn’t exist anywhere but in the mind. Some people will read that sentence and react with “but cancer is real!” If that’s what you did, then read the line over again. Yes, cancer is a real creation of the mind, and yes, it does exist in time and space, but regardless, the source of cancer always originates within us. Upon hearing that Truth, most people immediately want it proved to them. But Truth cannot be “proved to” because it can only be “proved by.” That’s just the way Truth works. Anyone who is arrogant enough to believe that they can prove Truth to another is just way off mark, unless of course they’re a Saint, The Buddha, or Jesus, but that’s another conversation entirely. This “proved by” is just the way The Universe works. Truth is proved by our living out of it, not by our proving it to the disbelievers, something that customarily can’t be done anyway! In every case, your own experience is what is of value to you, not any other’s, except that is, to support you in showing yourself that whatever truth you see being lived out by another, can be and has been, done. But after that eye opener, still, it is you who have to be off and running toward proving whatever Truth you are interested in living out, through your own example.
Think about proof in this way. Ten thousand millionaires can give you ten thousand methods for achieving wealth, but unless you take a single one of them up on their method and then apply it to your own life, you won’t have gained a single penny. No millionaire can prove to someone in poverty, who refuses to develop the mindset necessary to get themselves out of their poverty, that their methods work. Only that person in poverty can prove by following those methods, that they work. Truth is belief lived out through action. Our health is no different, in that it too follows this Universal rule of belief/action/there’s the proof! Ten thousand sources can come at you from ten thousand different directions, all saying the same thing, that your health is up to you, and that with your mind you can improve any physical condition at any time, but unless you actually believe and then practice this Truth, you won’t shift your health in the desired direction you want it to go in. I would imagine that would be toward more and more robust and vibrant health!
