Wayne Dyer
I recently read a excellent book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer titled 'Inspiration'. If you remember this is the book I was blessed to read when I spent 12 hours in the Detroit airport in May. I must quote you the most marvelous page from the book.
From page 198
God is Well-Being
Spirit never has a fever and knows nothing of illness, so in my humble opinion, it makes no sense to pray or engage in a discourse with God from a perspective of asking to be healed-unless, that is, we have a firm understanding of what we mean by the word heal. If we mean "to overcome an illness or infirmity,' then I feel that we're again violating the truism that nothing can be what it isn't, including God. As Ernest Holmes once wrote: "The will of God is always good,' which means to me that disease, sickness, and suffering are not part of God's energy.
On the other hand, if we use the work heal to mean "reconnecting to our Source of Well-Being," then we're open to the potential of receiving assistance to overcome any infirmity. and that's how I use the word. I never ask God to help me get over a feeling of sickness. Even when i had a minor heart attack five years ago, I asked to be made an instrument of God's well-being. I acknowledged that my body had taken on non-well-being, be it from my lifestyle, diet, and habits; or the toxins I breathe in and out--whatever--it was not of God. It was of me in this physical world, and I prayed to be reunited to a stream of well-being. I knew that I was a piece of God, and that it was just as easy for Him to heal a cut on my finger as it was to restore my heart to a healthy state. Since I know that God's healing power was within me, I just needed to help my body remember this.
Many wonderful books,
