Believe
Imagine a body so divinely made that all it needs is the right word to access its own power.
Conditioned not to believe in ourselves from the day we are born, we hand our power over to all sorts of authority figures. Our Belief is moved from us to them or to God.
That means we believe that the source of power is always someone else and outside of ourselves.
Religion tells us to blame ourselves when something goes wrong and thank God when it goes right, but what if we are the ones who do things right as well as wrong?
Empowering ourselves with belief in our abilities is not necessarily sacrilegious. Why wouldn't a god, who made us in his image not give us the power to be god like and heal ourselves? And if we don't believe in god, why not believe we are biologically capable of healing ourselves?
The problem might be a lack of faith, but not in the way you might think. What if all those miraculous hands on healers are really just allowing us to let our bodies heal themselves?
Placebos work because people believe in them. Perhaps belief is our magic word and God becomes the password that gives us permission to use it.
