Faith and Correct Attitude

Faith and the Correct Attitude are Important in Faith Healing

If you are healing by spiritual means (using the mind), then the spiritual factors are even more important than the formulas and methods. Any one of several different formula-type techniques could work effectively, provided that you have the correct spiritual factors.

Jose Silva sums up the most important spiritual factors with the single word, "Faith." Faith is made up of three components: Desire, belief, and expectancy.

Desire is the motivating force that causes you to take action, that gives you the extra push that is often the difference between failure and success.

Belief sustains you along the way. It helps you to maintain your hope, to keep thinking in terms of the person being healed, being healthy again. The belief helps you to stay positive, to observe every sign and notice any improvement and rejoice. Belief in the techniques and in what you are doing makes it possible for you to take every setback as feedback, to let you know that you need to make adjustments to your programming, to modify what you are doing and find ways to help them get healthy quicker. Belief enables you to keep hope alive.

Expectation is keeping that mental picture of perfect health in mind, and hoping and praying that the person will reach that, that it will manifest soon in the physical dimension. Expectancy means that you do keep hope alive, that you keep thinking of the person as being healthy and dynamic and happy.

You must have all three factors to be successful in your faith healing projects. If your desire is strong enough, you only need a small amount of belief and expectation. If you've got just a little bit of hope, and if you believe just enough to try the techniques, and you have great, tremendous desire, and you don't do anything to neutralize it - for instance, by wondering whether the technique is going to work or not, or worrying about whether you are doing it correctly - then you can be very successful in your programming.

There is one other factor that Jose Silva found to be important in his faith healing work: The attitude of the person who is sick. Mr. Silva would ask them why they wanted to get well. That might sound like a silly question, but it is very important. If you are sick, why do you want to get well? If you are sick, then pause for a moment and answer that before you continue reading.

Mr. Silva said that if the person answered that they wanted to get well because they wanted to travel, to experience things they had not yet experienced, to enjoy themselves, then he would have to counsel them before he could proceed. "That's not the correct attitude," he explains. "We were not placed here on planet earth so that we can just run around having fun. We were not sent here for a 70 year coffee break." He feels very strongly that we were sent here to help to correct problems and make this a better place to live. If you want to be close to the creator, he reasons, you must take part in constructive and creative activities. If you are helping the creator by taking part in constructive and creative activities to make this a better world to live in, then it stands to reason that the creator is going to help you, to keep you healthy so that you can continue to do your work.

If a person is not helping to correct problems, or if the person is causing problems, then there might not be enough incentive to help them. The time might be better spent helping those who are doing their job and correcting problems.

Up to now we have been primarily providing you supporting information that will help you as we get more involved with holistic faith healing techniques. In future sessions we will be covering more techniques along with the supporting information. Until then . . .

MAY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BE THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE!
