Larry Dossey MD Interview
If
there is any doubt in your mind that our words and consciousness can
affect the healing of our bodies or that consciousness can reach out to
influence the healing of another person, then you won't want to miss
the scientific evidence presented in
this issue and the link to the interview with a renowned

Defying the Senses:
Marilyn's Dream Premonition
Sometime
in the 80s, I dreamt that I was on the set of the television show, The
Rockford Files, sitting on the floor speaking with James
Garner. A few days later it happened completely "by accident" in a
business high-rise and every detail from the dream played out
precisely. Read the details
and find out how incidents that defy the senses prove that we can tap
deeper into areas of the mind than we can ever imagine.

How to Handle
Setbacks
Okay, everyone gather 'round. Here's the
plan. You will now learn to use your innate wisdom and scientific
“prayer” to find the solution and create an adjustment to any kind of
setback.
Now. Take a deep
breath. Get still and calm. Be still and know.
Know that everything is all right.
Everything is fine.
All adjustments that need to take place to resolve your situation are
taking place now as I write and as you accept the answer, the solution.
The first thing to do to solve any problem is to become still and quiet
about it. Be open for guidance. But most of all do not give the problem
energy. Give all thought to the solution. There is ONLY solution here.
All is well.
Now, go about your business and just act like everything is normal. All
is resolved. Everything is harmonized. In fact, for those of you who
really believe in "stepping out in faith" - get to work in your daily
life just as if you would be doing if everything was normal.
SEE THE ANSWERED PRAYER, THE SOLUTION IN YOUR MIND'S EYE AS ALREADY
ACCOMPLISHED.
You can summon up all of the power necessary to create the perfect
solution for yourself in this situation. What I am showing you is
affirmative prayer, scientific prayer. It works.
Keep your mind totally focused on the solution now. You will be guided
as you do this to your perfect answer.
The answer is at hand. Accept it now.
Your TRUST fund is enormous!
Only good can come from this!
Believe it. You will see it.
Scientific
Support for "Distant" Prayer
Larry Dossey MD Interview
In this interview,
Larry Dossey MD presents strong scientific data suggesting that
consciousness works not only on our own bodies, but can impact the
bodies of others through distant prayer, even when they are unaware of
it.
CHOWKA:
You are the author of five books
beginning with Space, Time and Medicine in 1982
through Healing Words , the 1993 New
York Times list best seller. How has your thinking and
your approach to "alternative medicine" evolved through the five books?
DOSSEY: The
evolution, I think, has to do with the extent and the nature of
consciousness on processes, not just in the body, but in the world in
general. I first began to explore these issues in terms of the effects
of an individual's consciousness on his or her own body. I was
interested, for instance, in meditation and hypnosis. After that, I
explored imagery, visualization, and so on.
But more recently
it's become obvious to me that there is strong data suggesting that
consciousness works not only in our own bodies, on our own behalf, but
consciousness is what I call non-local in the world. It can manifest
outside an individual's body. So when we look at the effects of
consciousness we have to go beyond looking at the effects of our
mind on our body.
Recently my books have explored this expression of consciousness
through distant or intercessory prayer, which
involves the ability of your consciousness to
make an impact on my body at a distance through
prayer when I may not even know that you are doing this.
These ideas seem
outrageous in the context of modern science but I think that there's
significant experimental evidence that these phenomena in fact takes
place and that they're relevant for health.
CHOWKA:
I want to explore the genesis of your
latest book, Healing Words . In an article in Newsday
(Dec. 21, 1993) you described how in 1988
you became aware of a study of cardiac patients who had been prayed
for. You noted that the outcome of the study, which was randomized and
double blinded, was "as if the prayed for group had been given some
sort of miracle drug." According to the Newsday article, this study
sent you on an almost five year quest to determine if that study stood
alone or if there were others like it.
In 1995 you presided
at a conference in New York on "Spirituality and Healing: What is the
Connection?" According to he program, you planned to "examine
laboratory evidence that there is an aspect of each one of us that is
unconfined to points in space and time that appears eternal, immortal,
and omnipresent and that corresponds to the ancient idea of the soul."
You also promised to ". . .look at cases of successful treatments
involving prayer and meditation that do not align with any current
medical theories."
In terms of what you
started out to look for in 1988, to see if there was more evidence for
the healing power of prayer, it would appear that you have found it.
DOSSEY:
When I discovered the study in 1988
showing that if people who were really sick, for instance in the
coronary care unit, were prayed for unknown to them, they got better --
according to a randomized, controlled, prospective, matched double
blind study. I went to the [scientific] literature. If you do this, you
may be shocked at what you can find. There are as many as 150 studies
showing, statistically speaking, that there is
an effect of distant intercessory prayer.
Defying the
Senses: Marilyn's Dream Premonition
Sometime in the 80s,
I dreamt that I was on the set of the television show, The Rockford
Files, sitting on the floor speaking with James Gardner. I was not
necessarily a fan of the show, although I had seen it, and I usually
didn't remember my dreams anyway. But this particular dream kept
returning to my mind and I specifically remember that I was sitting on
the floor.
A few days later I
had an appointment in Century City, the high-rise business district on
the Westside of Los Angeles. I remember being alone in the elevator,
pressing the button and finding the door open on what obviously was a
non-occupied floor of the high-rise building. The lights were dimmed
and there was no sign of activity. Now, anyone with presence of mind
would have immediately pressed the correct elevator button and
continued on to their chosen floor and destination.
But not this writer.
Instead, in an almost automatic, trance-like state, I stepped off the
elevator, turning left, and proceeded down a long empty hallway. At the
end of the hall I walked write into an office occupied by the cast and
crew of the Rockford Files , right in the middle
of filming. A man who appeared to be the director motioned for me to
have a seat in the only available area, an empty spot on the floor, as
the room was filled with people. They finished filming the scene and
James Gardner walked over to me, extended his hand, and asked if I was
a tenant in the building. A really nice man. I explained that I was
only there for an appointment and he invited me to visit on the rooftop
later where they would be filming other scenes. I did not return to
watch them film (I don't remember why I didn't) but to this day, the
memory of that striking premonition has stayed with me. There have been
others, but an incident so precise in detail and related to a celebrity
would pretty much eliminate the argument for “coincidence”.
What did it all mean?
I cannot be sure, but a friend of mine at that time was always
encouraging me to pay attention to my dreams and believed as I did that
answers can come from the subconscious through our dreams if we pay
attention. But I usually didn't pay attention to dreams. She felt that
this dream incident happened in order for my higher mind to reveal to
me that I did indeed have the ability to get answers or prophesy
through my dreams, an ability which I believe we can all develop.
What was it that made
me walk off that elevator and down the hallway into the filming area
instead of returning to the proper floor in the building? What made me
press the wrong elevator button in the first place? What was it that
KNEW what I would encounter at the end of that hallway and made sure
that I would follow the incident through to recognition?
Something to really think about, isn't it?
Feel Free to Prosper Lesson
Excerpt
Lesson
One The Spoken Word
"The subconscious
mind acts on the dominant thought therein. The repetition of positive
words will eventually replace negative patterns in the subconscious,
which block our success and limit our income and our good.
If we persist in adding clean water, drop by drop, into a bucket of
muddy water, eventually we will end up with a bucket of clean water.
The good news is that we don't need to completely fill our mind bucket;
the dominant thought is all that is necessary for the subconscious to
respond and create our desired result. So we don't have to completely
eliminate the negative thoughts. 51% positive and we get the golden
ring."

Dear
Marilyn
(your questions answered)
Readers are invited to
submit questions to Marilyn at
Question: Marilyn, can you shed
some more light on this idea of mental healing and “faith” healing? -CW
Disease is actually
"dis-ease" in mind or spirit. The body is an outer reflection of what
is going on within. Now it doesn't mean you have to necessarily know
what is going on. Yes, it can be at an unconscious level. It may be the
result of faulty patterns in the subconscious. It can be temporary or
it can be chronic. But the body and mind are not separate entities. Our
bodies, minds (and souls) are one. The body reflects our mental and
emotional state. Even conventional medicine is now recognizing this
more and more (major media exposure in recent years in Time, Newsweek,
etc.) I read in the news awhile back that there are even many hospitals
now in the US where you can request "absent prayer" along with
conventional medical treatment. They did case studies in a San
Francisco hospital with cardiac patients - a blind study where half the
patients received prayer and the other half did not. Amazing statistics
in that there were faster recoveries and greater survival rate among
those prayed for (refer to our feature article in this issue).
Dr. Carl Simonton many years back was a pioneer in the field of
mind/body medicine. He cured hundreds of cases of terminally ill cancer
patients. How? Visual imagery tapes in which Pacmen were eating up the
cancer cells. This is well documented and has been published
extensively. His renowned cancer institute and his work is well
recognized by mainstream medicine and universities. Since that time
there have been thousands more healed. His earlier tapes are still
available along with the more enhanced modern material. The foundation
of his work is the belief system of the patient, with or without
accompanying medical treatment.
People from all over the world go to Lourdes, France to step into the
"holy water" and spontaneous healings are legendary. How? Someone steps
foot in the Fountain of Lourdes and their faith and expectancy produces
a reaction in the subconscious mind, which has the perfect memory of
every cell in the body. And they are healed.
I was in a class 20 some years ago - a new thought class. A young woman
and her husband attended this "Expect a Miracle" class. She had no more
than six months to live. I remember the whole class went country
western dancing a few months later and I watched in fascination as this
woman and her husband were having one heck of a time two stepping. She
was totally healed. No medical treatment.
Now if people with serious life threatening illnesses can somehow be
healed through mental "adjustments", then does it not stand to reason
that less serious conditions can be overcome even more easily?
Although "prosperity" relates to all areas of life, not just finances,
the wording of my lessons is geared toward financial prosperity. And
yet in many instances students who are working on monetary
breakthroughs have medical conditions clear up, and in one case surgery
was no longer needed.
So the point here is
that anyone who wishes to be healed of an illness or condition and
opens their mind to BELIEVE that it is possible, can indeed produce
that healing if shown how to influence the subconscious mind (or
spirit, if that is your chosen perception).
By the same token, anyone who wishes to be free from and prevent any
form of illness can also do so using one of their most valuable assets
- an open mind.
