I have talked before about the power of thought and if you believe it to be true, that is what the mind perceives it to be true. There was a scientist from Arizona, who wanted to prove how powerful the mind is, to prove that your mind can heal you or kill you, depending on what it believes to be true.
For his experiment, he needed to find someone who would volunteer to go thru with the whole process of the experiment with nothing to lose. So he talked to a man that was on death row in prison. He told him it would be easier for him to die by bleeding out slowly. That it would take a little longer but that he would just fall asleep with no pain, “You wouldn’t even know that you died,” the scientist told him.
He would not need to die by electric chair. The man agreed to die in this way. So they lay him on a stretcher and tied his arms and legs, so he could not move.
After a bit, they cut a slice across his wrist. It was not a deep cut that would be a fatal, but enough so it would bleed and he could feel it.
At the bottom where his wrist was cut, they put a pan so he could hear the drip.
What he did not know, was they had put an IV bag right under his wrist and timed it so it would go slow like blood drops that he could count and hear as it hit the pan.
Time went on, and the scientist started to slow down the drops so that the man thought he was running out of blood and he started to look pale because he could not hear the drops fall as he did earlier, and he thought to himself that he was almost out of blood. He was getting more pale as time went by.
Then, the scientist turned off the IV bag. The man could not hear his blood dripping, and he started having trouble breathing, gasping for air, and his heart rate raced rapidly.
The man had a heart attack and died.
The others who were observing asked the scientist, “What happened?”
Very simple. The human brain excepts what it sees as good or bad. It all depends on what you believe to be true.
Many of us are told bad news, for example,
you have cancer and you are going to die.
Are you going to accept that? Or are you going to be positive and say I can beat this!
Its all on what you believe is the truth.
Your mind is so powerful it can heal you or kill you. It all depends on you!
Life is what you make of it, and positive vibes keep you alive. Even when things may look dim, there is always a light that shines bright, whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Remember we all see life differently, and might not agree, but being there when we need each other is what counts most.
Our mind believes what it sees, and sees what it believes.
