Realism can be bad for your health according to scientific
studies.

 Optimists recover faster and better from medical procedures such as coronary bypass surgery and have healthier immune systems.   Those with positive beliefs live longer, in general and when suffering from various health issues (Annals of Behavioral Medicine, vol39, p4)

It’s an accepted fact that negative thoughts and beliefs can make us ill.  Researchers are realizing that positive beliefs don’t just work by quelling stress.    Positive beliefs have a direct impact, if you feel safe and secure and are optimistic, it appears to help the body maintain and repair itself.

David Creswell,  (Carnegie Mellon University, PA) asked students gearing up for exams to write about qualities they valued such as independence and creativity.   The aim was to increase their self confidence and self esteem.   Just by writing and imagining the positive, they had lower levels of adrenaline and other fight or flight hormones in their urine than the control group.  (Health Psychology, vol28 p554)   The lowering of adrenaline was greatest in those students who were originally the most anxious over exams.

Theta Healing puts you into a state of meditation as well as changing your beliefs, increases your intuitive skills and lowers anxiety (adrenals, fight or flight response) .  Find out more http://www.thetahealingacademy.com/basic-training-course.html

Meditation might even slow the ageing process.   Telomeres get shorter every time a cell divides and so play a major part in ageing. (Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes)  Davis and colleagues showed that an enzyme levels that builds up telomeres were higher in people that attended a 3 month meditation retreat.

If you don’t have time for a lifetime of learning meditation or a three month course, come to a 3 day one such as the basic and advanced courses.  In just 3 days you can discover how to instantly meditate at will.   Studies show that meditation can cause structural changes in the brain after a few hours (psychoneuroendocrinology, vol36, p664)   New neural pathways are formed in Theta Healing as beliefs from the subconscious mind are changed.  In plain English that means, no matter how long you’ve suffered from negative beliefs in a life, you can change them and your brain creates new thoughts and beliefs by forming these new pathways.

Theta Healing helps you go direct to your subconscious beliefs that are hidden beyond the conscious awareness.  In other words, think positive all you might: once you change the root beliefs held in the core, soul, history or genetic levels, manifesting a joyous life becomes a lot easier.  http://www.thetahealingacademy.com/basic-training-course.html

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, the Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But  God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and serve the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes, faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have any thing called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it is called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality.  You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?..... No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Guess who that young man was ?

Albert Einstein
