If someone can get you to believe in something, then it becomes a reality for you, and you have to live with it; you have to deal with the effects of it. On the other hand, when someone tries to get you to go along with their ideas and you politely decline, then you can go on with your life in your own way.
“You have to wear your mask,” he said.
“No, I don’t!” she replied.
“You’ll spread germs if you don’t wear your mask,” he said, more firmly.
“What germs?” she asked. “I don’t know anything about any germs. I don’t even believe in them.”
“How can you say that?” He was starting to get upset. “Everybody believes in germs.”
“Well, I don’t!” She looked him straight in the eyes. “I know, when we were young, they showed us pictures of little things swimming around in glass dishes, and they told us that these little germs could make us sick, or even kill us. But I never bought it. I never believed any of that garbage!”
“But you still have to wear your mask if you want to get into the store,” he said.
“That’s okay,” she responded. “But I’m only putting it on so I can go in and buy my groceries. Not because I believe in some pseudo-sickness they’re selling on TV.”
“Oh now I suppose you’re going to tell me that, along with germs not existing, the disease itself doesn’t exist!”
“I couldn’t have said it more eloquently myself,” she replied. “The pandemic is a manmade phenomenon. Somebody thought it up in order to put fear in the hearts of humanity for their own selfish purposes. Then they used the TV cable news to spread their new disease, telling people that little germs are the cause. Soon after that, the people who believed them unwittingly manifested the disease because of their belief in it. It’s the belief that makes them sick, not a bunch of little bugs.”
He was livid. “You can’t tell me that germs don’t exist. I’ve seen what they can do!”
“Yes,” she replied. “In some cases, people believe so strongly in germs that they do create them. But mostly, it’s the thought of germs, not the actual germs themselves, that make people sick. The people who created this disease, and all diseases, know that they don’t really need to create actual germs; they only have to create the thought of germs, and the people will manifest the disease.”
“What you’re saying is crazy; it’s cruel! It’s unconscionable,” he said.
“Yes again – the thought of germs is called a mental toxin. They don’t need to use physical toxins anymore to make people sick. They simply get people to think they can get sick – and so they do.”
He was beginning to see what she was getting at. Why else would the news on TV be so absorbed with the pandemic? When he really thought about it, he could see her point of view. “So, how do we protect ourselves against these mental toxins?” he asked.
“In three ways,” she answered. “First, turn off the TV and leave it off. Second, stay far away from conversations where people are obsessing over their sicknesses. And third, and most critical, learn to counteract the negative mental programming out there by telling yourself the opposite point of view. Tell yourself: ‘I’m fine! I’m in excellent health! I don’t use my body for sickness!’ And then let it go and forget about it all.”
He was starting to catch on. “In other words, you’re telling me that if our thoughts of sickness are toxic and are harming us more than we know, then our healing must come from our thoughts of perfect wellness?”
“Absolutely!” she said. “Now you’ve got it!. The Law of Attraction works for manifesting sickness or for manifesting wellness. Which one would you prefer?”
